"To finish first, first you must finish"..... that was definitely true at the Nats. Congrats to Adam for putting together a complete race.
I also wanted to give credit to Ryan Maifield for setting a pace that no one could match....his car and driving were incredible to watch in the main.
When his car stopped while in the lead, it came back to the pits and his O.S. SPEED engine was still idling perfectly....he just had no control with the radio. It appears something went bad in the electrical system. We unplugged the power and re-connected and it worked again... but too late. The second time the car stopped it came back and the steering servo had failed. That's gas racing and we'll try again at the next race.
The other AE cars at the race were: Cavalieri, Saxton, JR Mitch, Skidmore, and myself. All of them made the 1/2 finals and should be qualified for the Worlds. I was 7th in the 1/8th final after bumping up from the 1/16th.
