Turned out to be a nice (hot) day of fun in the sun. Traxxas FC racers did their thing with some great races (and crashes). Congrats to Garrett for taking the win. Top Fuel Dragster got in there too but sorry didn't get the winner. Eugene had his consistent runs again in the 1.4s with his TFD. They tried to do the Nostalgia 2.8 but couldn't as a result of a few too many breakages.

Without going into much history, the hope is that this will occur more frequently/consistently for both class and bracket racing. We used to run twice per month (test-n-tune and race days). I will (have been meaning to) discuss with the others to see where their direction/availability is going for HRCDR.

You need to run as close to 2.8 seconds without going quicker. Going quicker is considered "breaking out" and is an automatic loss unless your opponent runs quicker than you or red-lights or crosses the center line. Sort of like a bracket class but your dial-in is set at 2.80 seconds.

HAWAII SUMMER NATIONALS (October 11th) - Sponsored by RC Drag Tech Hawaii
Great day of racing with the weather being great. Ran all the classes except FC (1 entry) with as many as 10 racers in Bracket. Exciting races and many personal best runs by a few racers highlighted by Cal's 1.367 (I think) TF run with one of his runs hittng 102mph! That's on sugar water!
Race results coming soon...

That's a class HRCDR (3rd Sunday) is starting up. Last outing there were 3 cars testing. Should be pretty competitive (John ran a couple of 2.84's).
