R/C Racers doing real life racing
Anyone you know involved in r/c racing that also is involved in drag racing, or other types of real life racing? Post away and if you can provide some video clips/links it would be real cool.
Just wanted to share a couple videos of our local racer Alfonso Irwing, who races electric TC mod down here in South Florida. He's been doing real drag racing for over 25 yrs and builds his own cars and ports his own motors and had quite a reputation in Venezuela till he moved to the states in 2002. Now he does TC racing to at least be able to race, but he's always itching to get behind the wheel of a dragster.
Its cool to see one of our own racing at that in real life. Pretty cool stuff...especially for you T/A lovers
His car is the Camaro, known as the "Pesadilla", which means: "Nightmare"

And here's a vid of Roberto Irwing, Alfonso's younger brother:

I race at superior most of the time in the t/a class or 13.5 touring. I also drag race an 81 camaro in super gas in nhra div.2 and bracket race in super pro at speedworld dragway in orlando. The fastest I've been in it is 8.07 @ 169mph. I don't have video's to upload but here is a pic of it.
