Default Snowbirds 2013 Modified Touring Car A-Main on youtube

I caught the Snowbirds 2013 Modified Touring Car A-Main with my tablet camera so the quality suffered a little but it's still not bad... check it out.

Shane, that's sort of correct.. I actually had dropped 13.5 to run AM and 17.5. After the first round of 17.5 Stock practice qualifying they asked me to drop AM which I was more than willing to do. Either way it was all good. I appreciate the compliments and letting everyone know what was going on.

I believe they asked Busse to drop out after they realized how well he was doing in stock. I think he was kind of in the same boat as me being unsure how he would perform at a race this big and was just fine with dropping out as well.

Had a blast at my first big race. Mike & the guys running the event did an incredible job especially with so many entries, it had to be a handful!

Note to self: Next year.. More sleep! lol

Anyone have video of the WGT A-Main? Seriously goes into my top 5 races I have ever been a part of and I'll go ahead and submit it as best battle in any of the road mains at the Birds this year

My figure 8 body had a few scratches and dents on it, but the Xray T3 chassis came away 100% clean.

How cool is it that pictures of the Figure 8 (formerly VTA) car is in the Team Xray web page!
Go here to see the pics --> http://www.teamxray.com/teamxray/news/2013_Snowbird_Nationals

The author, Alexander Hagberg, didn't really know who I was, so he just said the car was put together by the RC America team. My car was driven by Eric Anderson for the win.

About half-way down you will see a white 1955 Chevy Bel Aire body like this one ...

Second time to birds and as always a great event.

Wanted to bring up something for consideration. I know it seems like onroad guys enjoy John as announcer and oval guys scarecrow. But the interviews after every main just seems too much. From the onroad perspective it wouldn't seem to bother any of us if that was eliminated. The time it adds to the day is just too much. Anyone's thoughts on this?

+1. Those driver interviews take way too long and I don't think hardly anybody listens to them in the audience.
