Billy Easton will perform the last few test with the pre- production Cobra GT. Therefore again the nice white body-paint design.
Below is Billy Eastons report on Alabama Summer Slam, where the TQ-ed and won Buggy and Truggy and was close to win the E-Buggy class too.
The Alabama Summer Slam was held in Helena, Alabama at a facility known as "The Warehouse". It is maintained and run by a known racer in the US, Alan Burton. This is a small indoor track that posts up around 15 second lap times. It is small but poses new challenges compared to that of bigger tracks. With the lap times being so short, the hardest part is passing and being a defensive driver.
Billy Easton won the 2011 Force Series and Serpent drivers Bart and Danial secured 2nd and 3rd place to take the full podim for Serpent Cobra Buggy.
Bart,Alfredo and Danny, from the mills pond group took the top 3 in the Truggy Pro class with Serpent Cobra -T.
Billy Eastons report below.

In the final the track was becomming very hard to race, and it was hard to push the car to the limit. In the end Easton managed to obtain 2nd place behind Jesse Robbers also from USA.
Reports to follow.
Team Serpent Chile
Billy Easton managed to win the 2011 FAMAR offroad race with Serpent Cobra truggy.
The Serpent Cobra S811-Be is the next superbly designed offroad car in the Cobra family. The Serpent Cobra buggy was launched in middle of 2010, followed by the Serpent Cobra-T Truggy in may 2011.
Now World Champion Billy Easton created another masterpiece, based on his longtime experience in top-level offroad racing.
The Serpent Cobra-Be follows the same design philosophy as with the gaspowered Serpent buggy and shares most of the same components as well. The whole central section with battery-slots, esc and receiver holder, servomount and front-mounted motormount, chassisplate, larger wheel-axle...
Billy Easton with Cobra buggy wins semi final ahead of Batlle and also takes victory in the main Final ahead of Battle, Perin and Bianchi. Great race.
Congratulations to Easton and his pitcrew.
Serpents top-racer and offroad car designer Billy Easton has arrived to Italy, to attend the NovaRossi Buggy Cup with Serpent Cobra.
Also Battle and Jerome Aigon attend.
Heitor Nogueira became Vice-Champion 2011 in Buggy with Cobra past weekend.
Leading and fighting for the win all the one hour final long, to become 2nd in the end. Very well done.
Heitor also made the Truggy Final with Serpent Cobra-T, but a big crash in the final took away chances for a good result.
Back in October for the Open international South American Champs in Chile, where also Billy Easton will run and support Serpent drivers.
