I already posted on the ROAR Nats thread...

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.

Other AE drivers were Scott Brown (TTR S3), Dave Montgomery (TTR S3) and Jason Ruona (Mugen). There were also some regional AE drivers there running their cars.... everyone should have RC8s for next year's race.
