Do you have an area for Bajas to kick around?

[Big_Lumpia]

Dang, why does it have to be all the way up in Washington State? That's a long drive and none of my 1/5th scales are exactly carry-on luggage. Does any one ever ship their stuff? What's the weather like in August? Is it humid? Oh well, if I go, at least I can probably make a side trip to Vancouver, BC. Now that's a happinin' place. Washington is boring, good for apples and coffee only. LOL

That would be a long drive for me, I'm not sure my personal mobility scooter would make the trip from Ventura Cal!! :O)

Vancouver Washington where the race is at is only a few minutes from the Washington/Oregon border, just on the North Side of the Columbia River.

We use to drive from Victoria BC to Portland Oregon for weekends but with the border waits now the time would really add up.

We are hoping to make this race but we wont know until July whether we can make it or not.

Dr. said I can go! As soon as I got out of his office I was on the net buying tickets!

Gots my plane ticket, Gots a new body painted where is my trophy dam-it! :)

Karlton Spindle GT and TC

Who is going?
THE FEWER of you the better my chances so STAY HOME ITS TOO FAR NOT MUCH FUN AND I HEAR THE TRACK SUCKS (not) LOL

[Akela]

I'm wanting to go, but not to compete... I would need a car to compete. There are a few of us crazy canucks that want to make the trip!

[Karlton]

Why not race we can find you a car ;)

[Akela]

Cause if I did find a car, I would be hooked! I've got one of them xrc cars, but it handles like a tank... my baja would beat it hands down!

[VertigoPerformance]

What Akela means to say is he and I suck poop when it comes to driving and we would just kill someone anyways LOL!!!!

We are still trying to get down there.

NATC Round 6

Location: SV Speedway

Class: STC

Car: MMR RS5

Radio: Nomadio react

Result: 3rd B main

Ok thats the booring part. This was a fantastic race weekend for me! Well let me tell you why....
#1 I rented my own pit space at SV (used to be Eric Poholsky's pad) I have a place to store my cars and have air conditioned comfort as I work on my ride
#2 Got my new body on the car its NOT a HONDA! LOL Thanks team mate Eric P once more!!
#3 Had a "motor" go south in the first round but finished the heat.
#4 Round two motor back to life car needed a new set up for the layout. BOY was this layout a HOOT! No place to pass so everyone bashed hehehehehehe
#5 Main was a battle one guy kept putting me on my lid once did a perfect "roll" body never touched the pavment it was a hoot. Came in 3rd

Did I mention the RS5 is IMHO the best 1:5 scale out there?

Nomadio React is the weapon of choice for 1:5 scale racing!

[VertigoPerformance]

Should be for $6,000 LOL!!!

[Karlton]

6K where do you shop? Oh yeah your in CANADA 6K Canadian is like 2,800 in the USA ;) hehehehehe

[VertigoPerformance]

WOOT, hey all this is Kent Sutton sportsman 5th place!, btw Akela and i'm using a XRC!!!!!!

I'm going to post some pictures in the forums later, the car did well it took about a week of practice on the track to get it to top out without sliding away. The fokes at TZR really helped me out and all the tips i got from the pits were great!

Was a great event! Maybe i'll cya guys at the next 1!

[Karlton]

It was a blast watching the action on liverc.com so we decided to ad a wifi hotspot at SV and a 16 ch camera network we can blast out on the web

Kent you had a very good run! 5th place at your first Nationals is a very good placing. Now just fit in that new motor of yours and you will do even better next time out, all the best of luck to you!

The bald guy was pushing so hard he traction rolled on more than one occasion and the 4 stroke bike pulled some VERY cool wheelies. We are hoping to get copies of the video I took and post them soon.

[Akela]

I've got many more photos to post, but trying to sort though all of them is hard work... more racing photos to come and maybe some more video

[mradlin]

Those are some nice pics and vids!!! Wish I could have been there!!! :D

[cahonus66]

Clayton, is that you and Akela?:eek: The only ones with their arms crossed?:D

[VertigoPerformance]

We weren't in that photo.
The only 2 photos I can find of us is a video of a race where we are in the back ground in chairs then another photo on another forum (that I can't remember the name of) there is a photo of my back with my team 007 shirt on and Akela the 6'6" guy standing beside me.
I was standing beside Akela while he took those photos.

[VertigoPerformance]

There are 2 guys sitting in the back ground, myself in shorts and Akela to the right
