Short video clips of 2 qualifiers on Saturday.
720 and 1080 HD available if you have high speed internet service.

Sam-the-Man is getting super fast lap times by straight-lining the chicane before the straightaway.

Great weekend! Thanks Gordon and Laura and the rest of the MRH guys for running a great event! Learned a lot this weekend, and had help from some really classy guys. Joel, can't thank you enough for the help with my 1/12 and Gee, Karl and Matt Ward for help with my TC6. Learned a lot, and got better, can't wait to do it again. Congrats to all the winners!

Thanks to all who made the trip , hope all made it home safely. It was a packed house, with overflow to the other building ! when the results get posted, look how close the racing was.. very close. The track is very smooth, and the groove was laid down nicley, they even vacumed the " offline " areas, just incase you had to go out there to pass guys that were oblivious to the leaders coming through..
Nice to see a bunch of speed in the building, and learn a bit more about subtle changes to a 12th scale to get that last 1-2 /10th's of a second..makes a big difference in the " feel " the car should have.
Whats next for MRH ? ...... Mini Brawl " Carpet King Challenge " ?

I had a great time, track was great, racers were well fed (thanks John), competition was tight, did i mention we were served food? It was really a pleasure going to a hobby shop that had everything i wanted in stock (its never a good sign when the lady at the register says "oh you have the longest tab here") Man those fried pickles were the shiznit, much better then Diatta's fake chocolate chip pancakes. TonyQ John and Diatta, thanks for the laughs in the pits. My team sidepiece cars were real good and made the trip that much more fun.

If only i lived closer

I had a great time at the Sweep Challenge this weekend-competition was tight in all classes, and much laughter and fun times in the pits.

Awesome job by Karl, Gordon, Laura, Matt, Jeff and anyone else involved for organizing and running this race! Also thanks to the Sponsors who made this race as fun and exciting as it was.

Very much looking forward to the next one!
