I recognize some of the faces, but it would be nice to have a legend as it were. As the participants get home and check this thread it would be cool if they could post their location in the drivers photo. Front row, middle row, back row, third from the right, etc.

I had a blast! It's a pleasure meeting all of you guys.

Special thanks to the following peops: PN Racing, John/RCP, Joe Chen, Christian Tabush, R1Wurks, Scott Jakes (Pro-Z), Rod Harris, Bay area crew,
Utah boys, and last but not least, DJ Kyosho.


It was my first ever major race. I was never really into racing. I always enjoyed building motors, and the tinkering side of it, but I think the RCX event gave this hobby a new meaning to me. I can truly appreciate the skills that these top guys put out there. I'm very impressed with how they maintain their compusure under a lot pressure during racing. My knees were shaking like crazy when I was up there.

I also liked the fact the everyone was cool with everyone. Nobody was ****y, including the world champs and top dogs. It was fun. The guys who couldn't make it definitely missed out.

there were a few tense moments, but overall, everone was cool.

I got to run the 56 mph DTM, and the 45 mph Pro-Z, sorry, no videos. Just witnesses. Crashed the Pro-Z, ended up with a bent axle, Fried the batteries on my DTM, good thing it didn't explode.

Talking

I want to thank everyone that was involved with this event. It was very well organized and fun. All the guys at ILR loved it and we will be back next year. It was great to meet some of the folks from the forums, sorry I did not get a chance to meet everyone. Thanks again for a good time.
