RC Insider Show – Now online

RC Insider Show

So we received an e-mail from our friends at RC Hobbies in Canada to let us know that the show RC Insider, which is hosted by Dirt Girl Anna Curtis and directed by Jayne Romyn, is back on air. No longer is it being shown by the Outdoor Life network in the US however, but instead it will be shown online, which is of course better for everyone. The show itself features race reports, interviews and product reviews and seems to be a good effort so we recommend you go check it out.

The first demo episode of this show can be seen here.

Maifield tops Rd1 of ROAR Nats qualifying

Maifield tops Rd1 of ROAR Nats qualifying

Rain has been heavily effecting this weekends ROAR Gas Buggy Nationals that are being held at the St. Louis Dirt Burners track in Missouri. With the weather basically eliminating all but a handful of practice sessions for the 300+ entries setups have not been perfected heading into qualifying. Yesterday saw the first round of qualifying, take place under dry weather conditions but on a track that is still soft from the rain. In that session it was Associated RC8 driver Ryan Maifield that took the fastest time in this round ahead of Jammin racer James Taylor, while World Champion Mark Pavidis, racing for Kyosho, ended up with the 3rd fastest time. Qualifying continues today, hopefully under dry conditions, and we will bring you an update after todays sessions.

Fischer wins 1/10th German West Rd4

Last weekend in the West of Germany, at the Dormagen track, the 4th round of the west German Regionals were held. The event attracted 53 drivers, slightly less than espected due to the predicted bad weather, which turn out to be wrong, as the weather was dry for the entire event. Qualifying was a battle between top electric racers Mark Fischer and Markus Mobers, with Fischer taking the pole position for the main final. In the race itself Mark was able to pull away directly after the start and could easily win by 2 laps from the Serpent pairing of Markus Mobers in 2nd and Karl Heinz Meister in 3rd.
