Default Modeltek Fiorano - Italy

Greetings from Amsterdam! As promised, I've opened up this thread to post pics and videos for this race. Waiting on a connector to Bologna, should be on the track this afternoon.

Outside of the World Championships and The Euros, this is probably the biggest-strongest collection of 1-5 scale drivers on the planet! Will be a VERY competitive group this year. Track times in practise yesterday are almost a second faster per lap than last year! Glad to be a part of this great event!

Here's the link to the site where I'll be posting pics. Stay tuned for more updates!

Thanks Hugh. Looking forward to the pics. Missed you at the LA race two weeks ago. Round up Luis and come out next year. I miss the hotel horror stories you shared.

Hey everyone:

Sorry for the delay in sending this to you. Wifi at the hotel and track were a bit of a challenge with uploading and sending images/videos.
Had a phenomenal trip; things didn't go as planned and despite swapping tanks, gas got into my receiver-wiring causing a crash at full speed in the Semis. From a competitive standpoint this is very disappointing as I really trained and prepared hard for this event. On a personal side, it was an awesome event and truly a family reunion. Had the time of my life, learned a lot and was treated like royalty every day! Will live to fight another day !!

Here’s a link to all the pictures I gathered for my trip album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/128385...7648097313499/

Here are some links to videos from the weekend’s activities:

They treat everyone like rock stars over there Papi! No doubt I can help you get ready, plus you already have experience racing overseas (Cordoba). I'm not going back there until '16 but I have lots of Intel for you to get ready for '15!!
