It will be an awesome race with massive attendance! The trash talk regarding warm-ups etc is only to improve the sport for the future, the Canberra club have unfortunately been the middle man and provided the case for change. Their facilities and preparation will be second to none though and all will have a great time, particularly with the attendance of super star Mark Pavidis!

TQ might be more reliable to pick without the randomness which can sometimes occur in finals so I would be suggesting that there are only four guys in contention - Pavidis, Griffin, Laughton and McBride, in no particular order.

I think its a bit hard to say, in no order i would guess

Mc Bride
Griffin
Laughton
Gillott
Pavidous

So many fast guys at this meet anything could happen, Ari/Pain/Zac Ryan/ King could easily pop there heads in the top five also

Dudes,

Posted in the AARCMCC IC OFR thread re 15 car finals:

http://www.rctech.net/forum/10402205-post297.html

I've noticed that everyone's predictions are for top 15, so the vote was obviously a foregone conclusion....

Top 15 in no order:

Matt Griffin
Craig Laughton
Josh pain
Andrew Gillott
Kyle Mcbride
Jarred King
Aaron stringer
Andrew Foord
Jason Dyckhoff
Ari bakla
Mark Pavidis
Jarrod Currie
KC Shore
Shane Kelly
Scott Jones

I think that it will be a great meet, with only really 4 guys who will have pace to TQ, but the final will be a interesting race.

Will Griffin carry over his driving from nitro challenge and dominate?
Will we see painy reclaim his form when he was with AE with the special k car?
will Bakla and king have extra speed with there new cars?
can stringer make the JQ work well enough to drive to his pontential?
can i finally make a nats main after bombing in 3 nats semis over the last 4 years?
can currie stay off the beers?
Will laughton finally get that nationals win?
will gillot pull something out of the bag and get on the top step on the podium?
Will J.dyckhoff keep the super fast rc8.2 on track?


We will find out next week!!

heaps pumped for this meet!

If i make the main i think i would prefer to be watching it hehe

You have a good chance at making the Main KC, but i guess if you dont mind watching there is not much pressure either way, that could be an advantage!

my first nitro nationals i didnt make the main.. and i was one of the fastest drivers there..

nitro is not about driver skill only.

if you get a feel for the car, engine tune and mechanical ability to hold the car together..

then you might be a shot

After re reading my previous post, I would like it noted that my comment regarding AARCMCC not running as well as it used to is in no way a reflection of the current committee, it was a reference to further back than that. I would also like to thank the current section committee for doing a top job, much more comunication than previously and hope that the future committee can improve this communication further.

Back to predictions.

Griffen, McBride, Pavidis, Bakla, Kelly, Painy, Snape, Alexander, Lewis, King, Laughten, Gillot, Currie, Shore, Dykoff in no particular order.

Dont worry,,,, The hong nor will be there!

I'd put Bakla, Gillott and King on that list too. Gillott is good at doing 10 minute runs from what I've seen, and King is a bit of a qualifying specialist at times. Ari is just good and should never be written off.

Painy

iTrader: (2)

yeah,, but will it be in the amain?

Who was worried?

Wild Thing

Hey Foordy,

Not a bad list at all.......

Adding to that would be Darren Perry (top 10 lst year), Zac Ryan and a dark horse Mitch McCullum his first ever Nationals but very quick on his day

Looking forward to ctaching up with you next week

Cheers

Mark
