Thats great news. There are not that many engine builders/tuners that offer this once in a life time opportunity to ask questions or to meet them in person. Im sure that there are gonna be alot of people friday night meeting a legend in the making...........Rody Roem.
Great to see RB giving something back to the racers.

Well, I just got back from ace hobbies where Rody was located. Just wanted to say that ace hobbies knows how to put on a class act. Ace hobbies provided a full catered dinner and drinks. Most of the people that attended were all racers and hobbiest with all the same interest.......going fast effectively. Rody Roem was probably the most nicest person I met. A true gentleman and a very helpful individual. After dinner, we had the seminar in the parking lot with Rody Roem at the head of the table. He talked about everything from engine dynamics to clutch set-up. There were alot of questions awnsered by the magnificent one. We sat there for about 1 1/2 hours while Rody provided his magic. Here are a few pictures from this successful event. I would also like to thank Kevin, J.R., Scott ( ace hobbies ), and Rody Roem for holding this event.

Rody Roem
Just to add to what Zac Project said not only is Rody a great engine builder and tuner he is also a former 1/8 world champion driver. Most people probably already knew that but for the few that didn't. I believe he won his world title in Japan sometime in the 80's.

One of the local racers had brought his car; and while Rody was speaking, the car had a brand new Rody C5 motor in it. I believe the wheels are made from a company called GQ.

When first time I heard about this event I was thinking-this is lifetime opportunity for a lot of guys to learn from somebody like Rody about the engines. So very quickly we decided we go there. Unfortunately we couldn't attend meeting on Friday-I had to be working all day. Friday morning we jump to the car and rushed to San Jose. After some drive (5 and half hours) we finaly got on the track.
What we found there was ammesing. I saw Rody was tunning engines for different guys, he was explaning some small but very important points which reall makes difference. I was expecting that Rody will sit somewhere in the shade and evertybody can come and ask questions, but I found that he was all around helping people tunning engines, helping on brak in and tunning clutch etc. I stay there about 2 hours and haven't seen him sit at all. I saw that it was real care about customers!!!!!!!!!
I was introduced to Rody by Rich Brown (thanks a lot Rich for to give me opportunity to talk to Rody). We did have some talk with Rody and I got some points very interested for me which basicaly were missing due to my small expirience in RC cars. Rody is verrrrrryyyyy knowolodgble (I guess nobody expect less), but most important he is very open and share his knowlodge to everybody. Very nice person!!!!! I wish more people in his level can help racers how to pull all 100% power from motor on the track. It was very educatble trip for me and I don't regret any second i spent to got to San Jose-we drove total 700 miles and 11 hours on the road.
I did have oportunity to mesure RPMs on some cars there and found very interesting things-there was .21 RB motor (I don't know which version) but it turns to 42,200 RPMs and the car was flying. It was driven by Scott Kimbrow and tuned by Rich Brown. That motr was really fast. I do have collected some info and so far it is max RPM I have seen in RC cars, that motor got more RPMs that any .12 we did mesured (including Nats in Texas). There was also one motor on Josh Alton Car which turned to 41,300 and this is pretty surprized numbers as well. Usualy most of engines stays in the range 39,000-40,000.
Any way, I want to thanks to Ace Hobbies for their effort to make this event happened. I want to thanks to Rich Brown for his great help to me there.
Great event!!!!!!

What a great event!!! I only wish I could have made the 1400+ mile trip. I would like to personally thank Roger for providing some pictures. That gave me a small sense of what it was like to be there.
Damn........is all I can say.
