Congrats to our Tamiya North America Champions ! You did us all proud.

Keith - Canada Champion, North American Champion and N1 TQ and a podium and medal at the Worlds. Awesome job.

Troy - Mr. panic cause I have to switch from mini to sedans in two weeks before the worlds. Outstanding showing in qualifying and the race. Maybe you should run sedans more often.

Mark - Sick as a dog (yeah I talked to Steve) and still a fine qualifying and A main run. Way to stick it out under such bad conditions.

All three in the "A" at the uber big show. All your hard work and efforts paid off. Time to enjoy your last few days in Japan and enjoy the tour of the Tamiya HQ. Any Tamiya drivers holy grail.

in speaking with mark d... nothing happened to keith. he just had less motor than the guy who won.

the rumors are the guy who won used the set up from the winner from last year. they're both from germany. when the guys come back, hopefully the can shed some light.

im hoping someone writes a Ling style report.

This was rewarding in many ways. I was glad to have been part of it. The Team was spot on in terms of approach and considering the strong field of drivers in a very different format than what we have in the States; we could not be any happier had we all won our respective heats.

The other Teams have been great to hang out. Great food, racing toy cars half way around the world is a treat.

Cant wait to get back home to get back to racing again. Till then DJ and I have taken up a *new* hobby.... we bought some R/C Helis.....and took up indoor flying....film later!

Thanks all for the support. I know the other guys also liked the fact they had folks rooting for them at home. Priceless experience and thanks again.
