Cyrul & Ezrow claim victory at MWS Rd2

Josh Cyrul reports on the 2nd round of the Midwest series that took place last weekend in Racine, Wisconsin on a small and technical parking lot track. “For myself, it was a bit of a home coming to the type of track I first began racing 1/8 scale. The weekend started out a little chilly and with some sprinkles of rain but as Saturday progressed the weather gradually improved. The traction was ok at first but actually seemed to decline all day Saturday. Even through the track going away a bit, I was able to make small adjustments and keep pace with my first round TQ through the second and third round. Sunday was a little chilly with the wind but otherwise a perfect day for racing. The traction really improved and the lap times dropped over .5 per lap. At the end of qualifying, we had a repeat of Toledo’s MWS with Eli Ezrow taking the TQ in Masters and I was TQ in Open. We had four Shepherd V8’s in the final and Eli and I were able to defend our TQ positions and take home solid wins in both classes.”

Bumod GP – Serpent 7XX first photo

Red RC are at the rain affected Bumod GP in Bursa, Turkey and we were given an in depth look at the new Serpent 7xx 1/10th scale 200mm chassis. While we were able to take photos of the car, Serpent have asked us not to show them until a later time, allowing us only a photo of the bottom of the radio tray, just one of the very nice features of this well thought out car. Other new items at the event, that has attracted international racers from as far afield as Thailand and the USA, is a new Audi 200mm shell from German brand Orcan promising lots of steering and stability through the corners. Racing will begin as soon as the weather clears up, which looks to happen later this evening, given the racers a chance to run under the flood lights at the fabulous facility.
