Brandon gets a podium again this year. Congrats to him and the others in 1st and 2nd (I don't know if they are forum members) or not.

Nail Bitter it was indeedy my friend.... :mrgreen:

I was top qualifier for the Classics Class, and Brandon qual. 2nd, in the main, he quickly took the lead and I had to catch up to him down from 6th place, the last 4 or 5 laps we were swapping leads and spills, he would flip, I took the lead, I'd flip, he would take the lead, It came down to the wire, we came off the last turn into the straight away at the same time, he too the inside lane, I made my move, but the straight wasn't long enough for me to catch up.

Brandon, awesome racing brottha... I'll see you next year... :wink: Classics Class had 10 cars, so getting through traffic was a challenge all on its own, but it was very very fun.

I'll be downloading some pictures, and posting some more vids on youtube...

Stay posted... :mrgreen:

A main in classics class was definitely one of the best races to watch.

Reign is Ryan (5th buggy C). I had a good time, but didn't take enough pics. :D My camera isn't up to the task anyway.
Here's my VONats album: http://s150.photobucket.com/albums/s94/civilguy/VONats%202009/
Even though I didn't run as well as I hoped, winning the 50/50 helped ease the pain. :lol:

I had a blast, Thanks to all the RCHR staff and helpers for putting on a great show.
Thanks to Brandon for donating a set of sees wheels which I somehow won in the door prize drawing. . . again.
Here are a few pics.

We have the cars the racers in the a-mains were running, I'll try to find those on Monday.

Next year, I'll include them in the sign-ups, electronics too, I would like to see who runs brushed/brushless and Nimh/lipo.

My camera couldn't capture any of the action on the track. I did get a couple shots of people that turned out okay.

Looks like the track could have resulted in some great action shots. Man, I wish I could have made it with my camera. I am sure it will change, but I hope the layout stays the same. I wasn't there this year, but I like what I see when I think back to last year.
