PENULTIMATE ROUND OF THE CAMSO V8 CHAMPIONSHIPCAMSO V8
Source: KAM Racing
![]() WARNETON SPEEDWAY, Belgium — Tony Roots took a convincing victory in the CAMSO V8 final at Warneton on a surprisingly sunny Sunday afternoon. It was the first time championship leader and Roots V8 Racing team mate, Gary Ellis, had been under pressure for the whole year. The #77 Pontiac Grand Prix was on top form and Roots drove it faultlessly through the field and into a lead which never really looked challenged. Vincent Lehouck in the #66 Ford Taurus managed to hold off the challenge from Roots for a while but after several laps of side by side racing, Roots made the pass stick and began to pull away. Lehouck held on to second. Jean Vassuer came home third in the Profil+ Ford after Ellis spun out trying to get to the leaders. Roots now trails Ellis by 43 points as they go into the final round in October. A hard task for Roots but certainly not impossible. Wim Moonen affirmed his grip on third place in the championship with an exciting drive to first place in heat one, only to have his hard work undone by fourth place runner Kelvin Hassell who decimated his opposition in heat two. As we go into the final round at Warneton on October 12th there is still everything to play for.
