Billy Easton leaves Team Losi!!!! |
|
 |
|
| We have information from several sources for this story, all of whom confirm each other. Losi has decided not to send their drivers to the on-road worlds' warm-up in Collegno, Italy. Their reason makes sense to us: The warm-up will be in just a few days when the weather is cool while the race will be this summer under the Italian sun and Losi believes very little will be learned because the conditions will be so different. Plus, taking several drivers to Italy for a week is not cheap. |
|
| Easton wants very much to go for the warm-up, and told Losi as much. They refused to pay for the trip and offered to let him out of his contract, which would run at least until the end of the year. Easton accepted the offer, and no longer drives for Losi. |
|
| His Trinity and Novak deals are still in place. |
|
| We understand Billy has signed on with Yokomo for on-road. We hear, but have not confirmed, that he will do the off-road Mod Nats driving an AE buggy & truck and a Yokomo 4WD. We think he's not going to do much else in off-road in 2006, but that's just our guess. |

Masami, Neil Cragg, and Easton -- that's a major off-road team!
