Give me a few minutes here, I think I took a few after the race if I remember correctly.

Wink Any chance of an analysis of who ran what?

I'd like to see who ran what type car, their radio, esc, motor and shell.
That'd be a lot more useful to us mortals.

Talking Props!

To futureal and crew,

Thanks for all of your hard work you put in, keeping us informed as to what was going on, out at The Reedy this last weekend. I take my hat off to you guys. Also, thanks for the `04 Reedy DVDs too.

I was hoping to have all of that today, but when I went back to the scoring booth to get the sponsor sheets that I had spent all weekend collecting, somebody (*cough*car action*cough*) had run off with my sheets and never (to my knowledge) brought them back. Hopefully I'm wrong; I will get on the phone tomorrow to see if I can track them down.

Time for a quick photo run before I head to bed.

In order:

a) Brian Kinwald sporting the bling chassis (and broken suspension arm, in this case).
b) Staring down an invitational grid in the final round.
c) One of the cleaner starts of an invite race.

Very true. Marc's car was awesome to watch because he just would own any car that was near him and the incredible speed he carried through the turns was jaw dropping. Now you know his world title was no fluke. Wonder though what caused his car to come to a dead stop... unsoldered motor brush??

Shane,

How about some video of the modified A3 main... in particular that sweet pass I made on Rod C on the OUTSIDE down the straight/sweeper?

In order:

a) The winning combo (unfortunately night had fallen, and only Gino from RC World could make this photo look good... I suck!)
b) Drescher's race-winning Factory Team TC4
c) To the victor go the spoils!

No prob Steve, just give me another year to get it done...

Jake (my video editor) has all of the footage at the shop right now, I'll ask him tomorrow if we can make another demo vid.

BTW, the quality of these photos are all pretty poor, I am scaling it way down since these are all getting inserted in the database. I will have much sharper images posted eventually--I hope. Hey, I always say that...

I'll find some more photos to post tomorrow.
