I too participated in this event. I enjoyed the racing, the weather, the adrenaline, the facility, and most of all the people that make up this community of the rc racing world. I also have been racing for about 20 years. I am not an A-main guy, yet I keep coming back for more. I have participated in many "big" races also. U can call me whatever sort of horrible degrading name you like, Quite frankly I dont care! But I love every plaque, trophy, and certitificate I have ever recieved in my rc racing career, especially those from "big" races.
I feel Hardcor has a valid point.
