Thanks to everybody that made this race happen. I could not believe how windy it was but when your driving on a track that nice and smooth you forget about the wind. Well done to all the people who created the track. I can truly say that I am going to miss that track and facility. Also the plaques looked really cool. Any pictures of people on the podium? Cant wait till next year.

Good morning all,
What an incredible event put on by some great volunteers who showed a true passion for the hobby. The facility must be one of the best in Canada, certainly better then anything I have ever been to. It's comparable to a smaller Nitro Pit which is a huge compliment in my books. Way to go guys for raising the bar for all tracks in Canada.
I can't thank Neil and John enough for everything they did. Not only did I learn an incredible amount by just watching one of the best engine gurus in the business but I also learned a great amount from John on how to keep racers happy and put on a great event. We racers can be a finicky bunch.
It was great meeting Lawrence, Nick and Josh who did an incredible job building the track and prepping the soil. Once again I learned a great deal and hope to bring some of the ideas back to the Maritimes. Lawrence is a great example of what a hobbyist should be, he works hard, races hard, volunteers like a mad man BUT at the end of the day he was never happier then when his wife arrived to support him. He remembers its a hobby to enjoy.
The Edmonton or Alberta Crew that was on hand had some real talent and it was great watching them hit the track. Wayne and "Chiko" had some incredible runs, great to watch. Nobody owned that triple like Chiko's truggy, ! Power and precision !
Great job to Steve ( RC PRO DIRECTOR ) for organizing such a great finals. The work he must put in to keep it organized would be immense, thanks.
It was great meeting the "Fords" and having such a great RD was a real treat.
A big thanks to Dave, his family and will for all the rides, HOT coffee and the best meal I had while there. Thanks guys.
Dave, Will and Tom it was great meeting or seeing you again. Dave I love your controlled style of driving and thanks for the help and advice.
Alright, I'll shut it now. It was worth every penny to get my ass up there and I look forward to next years final.

Ughh. Daves mom and dad, I'm just another hitchiker who got lucky and scored an awesome lift.
Thanks CRE for an awesome event, congradulations to all the winners. Hopefully we will see everyone an then some in 2012.
As for the haters i got nothing for yah other than your missing out for minor issues that can be resolved via PMs. I hope you can set aside your differences and just come out and race.
Peace

RCPS 2011 National Finals - Sept 16, 17, 18
As a member of the C.R.E. Raceway, and RC Car Action I would like to personally thank everyone who buckled down and took on this event this year, both organizers and track officials as well as all the racers who attended and took the time to have some fun this past weekend. For some of us local club weekend racers, this event was epic, and regardless of what position you won, it was an experience of a life time, cause lets face it.... this was the first national event like this EVER in Winnipeg. Being a part of it was thrilling, and running track-side with awsome fellow drivers made it all worthwhile. I know tons of hours in time and man power from so many people made this event possible and the turn out was well worth the hard work. I thank you for everyone who had made a contribution. I hope we will see you PC Pro Series folks again in 2012.
