Anyone know when LiveRC.com will be up and running? Will they have the computer & Video working during the practice days?

What is the schedule for the practices, heats, and Mains at the Worlds?

[razzor]

I am just hoping Liverc will be able to cope with the international traffic.
Will there be any alternatives to Liverc ???
Neobuggy always has great coverage but only the finals will have close to live feedback.

[rdub202]

brandon and the liveRC crew are going all out for this. at least thats what he has said in other posts on here

hopefully they wont run into any problems and it will be great like usual

It is going to be an interesting Worlds race. There are all the big hitters but some are driving new car's for new manufacturers. I think it would be nice to see one of the newer buggies take the title. anything beside Mugen or Kyosho. I know some of the drivers are still on waiting lists but others have posted that they will be at the race when the buzzer sounds.
Neo Buggy posted pictures of the track and it looks very European style to me. The log section looked pretty brutal. It looked like is was going to be more on luck to get through without breaking rather than any skill at driving. I wish I could be in attendance but RC Live is the closest I'll be.
I wish all the drivers the best of luck!!

[Brandon Melton]

I don't think the log section will be that bad. I race there a few times a year and know the size of that section, and I don't think they are spaced as far apart as it looks.

One reason for something like that was because it used to be a down hill double that took a good run at it, and if you cased the rear wheels you front flipped and some people got close to flipping onto the straight, can't risk a bad crash like that in qualifying or a main get decided by oncoming traffic, lol. Just something to slow the section down onto the concrete.

[WheelNut]

Woohoo! 3 Canadians! Go Ty!! Ty kicks ass, even if he does run Hot Bodies. I'm rooting for Ty Tessman and Josh Wheeler. My two favourites: Canada and Xray. I can't wait. This going to be so epic!

[GregH]

I'm going down next Friday for the weekend to watch and root for my favorites.

I purchased a bonus lap membership- with this event in mind! Look at all the Fast guys from California alone- Looking forward to all the race action.

[cjtamu]

Wow, Dakotah Phend? He's what, 11 now? That's awesome! I'll be pulling for Branham and Skidmore, but I gotta root for that kid too.

[slow]

Why are some of our better drivers not in or on the waiting list like Tebo?

I must have missed the memo.
