Rod: Yea, it's in my queue. I think it's right around 10th out of about 100. 
jwf_frani: Glad you enjoyed it! Our footage last year was pretty lame (marshals getting in the way, not elevated, lots of losing focus) but this year it was a hundred times better. I'm really looking forward to working with it.
FYI to people who weren't at the race, we should have last year's DVD up for sale on the web in a week or less.

Didn't make the lottery, and went as a spectator. WOW is all I have to say ! I live 5 minutes away and to see all those pro's from all over the world; insane. I don't remember how he finished, but Hara should get the hard charger award. I saw that guy make some of the most incredible passes. To all those in the Spec, and Mod classes excellent job. I saw some really courteous and fast driving, plus some killer paint jobs on alot of those rides. 11 months, or 360 days left till I can see it again.......can't wait.

I just wanted to say thanks to Fred and Tamiya for putting on another great event.
Congrats to Jason E. That was a great run in Spec. Sorry I missed it.
I also want to give a huge thanks to Steve Wang for his help this weekend and Teru Taka of Xenon Racing for helping with motor tuning. My Teru tuned motor took .4 off my avg lap times in the first two rounds. Got taken out with a minute left or I might have made the B main. Battery unfortunately exploded on the charger in round 4 so my weekend was done.
Anyway, much props to Fred, Craig, Peter, Josh.

Where do I sign up for the "OWNED by TEAM STEVE" team?
Biner? Isn't that the guy who bumped me from the G-Spot on the driver stand in Q3 and after a bunch of crashing I ended up with like a hurting 28th for that round? It's all good

It is, however, awesome to watch.

The whole discussion was only because we internet watchers couldn't find the rules for this race on the www. Some people think now that those rules were not even in the drivers package ( if there was one ) and just made up when needed.
I hope you can give us some clearification.
I was not there, so I missed the show.
Hope the races were a good show off what rc car racing is about.
Last but not least: I have no problems with Craig winning this race. After all the work he has done for the team in Europe last couple off years, he fully deserve's it.
Frans
ps. live timing was great.

bobby, I think Antonio was trying to find a way to make the Losi JRX-S look bad, since there were 4 of them in the open mod A main, one with the win, he wanted to say that class doesn't count.
I think, we all know EVERY class at the race counts! Even if a car someone doesn't like wins that class. Especially after seeing some companies taking out adds for races at this level that are two pages saying they won stock, 19T, etc.
This race, imo, proves that the cars are all VERY close, the drivers are all, VERY close, it comes down to who has thier game on that particular weekend. Maybe that's why everyone keeps showing up at major events, rather then giving the trophy to the driver or car that is supposed to win?
On road is the most diverse class of scale racing on the planet at this point. In fact, even more so then ANY fullscale racing body. There are more brands then there are in F1, Indy, Nascar, Pro Stock, Rally..................Wow.....Exciting to watch what happens at every event with no clearly dominant brand chassis, motor or body.
In fact, I'd like to see all the brands, speedos, body, chassis, etc. listed from this race for all classes if possible.....futureal?.....haha, Jim

Man oh man! That was a painful weekend.
Congrats to Craig. My best wishes to his father who is battling cancer. Get well Mike!
Good job to Josh Numan and Peter Robinson.
The racing in invite was great at times. It was also much rougher then in years past.
