INTRODUCTION >>> Billed as "The Super Bowl of R/C," the U.S. Indoor Championships grows larger and larger every year, attracting top professional drivers from around the world to come and test their skills against the best of the best. Featuring highly technical track layouts, no-nonsense race directing, and day-to-night racing, the Indoor Champs offer everything that the serious racer could ever hope for.
Taking place November 26th throughh the 30th at the Holiday Inn in Independence, Ohio, the 2003 Indoor Champs continues this tradition for the 24th straight year. The track layout manages to be both incredibly technical and quite fast, with a smooth run-line that rewards the agressive driver. The 2003 Winter carpet racing season is truly underway, with the Indoor Champs also being the second leg of the 2003-2004 U.S. Triple Crown series.
RACE COVERAGE >>> As always, R/C Tech is proud to bring you news, results, pictures and more from the race, on a round-by-round basis as it is taking place. With this much action going on for 5 straight days, it promises to be an exciting event. Be sure to check out our official 2003 U.S. Indoor Championships discussion thread in the forums.
RACE SCHEDULE >>> For the first time in its history, this year's race features an extra practice session on Wednesday evening, whereas in previous years it was just a registration day. The rest of the schedule remains very similar to years past, with approximate times added:
