Coool!

How did Reckward perform so far?

ciao tpk

Pavidis should win it all.

Big sweep.

[gubbs3]

Kinwald might be there but he might not have made the top ten. Everyone now and then breaks or stalls. Or just has a bad day.

------------------
If its pulling a wheelie its mine!

[GregV]

Reckward is fast, probably one of the fastest through the corners but he's slow over the big jumps, that's where he is loosing his time.

Kinwald is here. His car didn't look so good in practice but he turned it around for the heats. I think he broke once but is doing well. He posted the fastest time for the 5th round of qualifying.

Pavidas has TQ locked. He did however break a shock shaft in the 5th round. But that's nothing new. Everyone's breaking shock shafts.

[GregV]

Qualifying is over. I waited over an hour to get the press packet that lists the results. But the officials didn't calculate the results correctly and would not release the packets.

The sun is hot and on the right side of the track. My face is burnt to a crisp, but only on one side. OUCH! I'm out of suntan lotion.

I couldn't imagine what the results after qualifying could be, but I think some of the Japanese drivers may have moved up.

I hope Pavidas wins it; he got screwed at the on road worlds.

[SteveP]

Youichi Kanai of Japan has won the World Championship. I don't have the fuill story yet, but apparently Pavidis had a rough time during the mains, and Jeremy Kortz was offering the strongest challenge, but he broke late in the main after skying it off one of the triple jumps.

[highguy31]

I didnt get to see Pavidas, Kortz, Saxton or Kinwald but the 14th was a great race day and man was there a big triple at the front of the stands a few guys cleared it too. I got some pictures and I'll post em soon, later.

[GregV]

Here is a brief summary of the main: Pavidas drove to hard in the beginning of the race and crashed a lot. There were some exciting battles between Kanai, Grandesso and Kortz. During all of this Pavidas was making up ground. Kortz unfortunately broke a front suspension arm. Grandesso broke a front shock but had it replaced quickly. Kanai had a pretty good lead on Pavidas until he broke a rear suspension arm. That pretty much secured Kanai's win.

Watch for my write-up in both the Nitro and RC Car Action Mags.

[ovalnator]

Alright, so pavidas gets taken out in Japan and breaks in Vegas; He is sure to win the offroad worlds next summer! He's got to ( OK, Im a diehard Associated fan). Must be having some bad luck.

greg, you shouldnt use sun TAN lotion, you should use SUNSCREEN. sun tan lotion helps you tan, sunscreen doesnt. i know you want a nice tan to show off, but i dont think its working if you're getting burnt!
hehe, just thot you might like the tip.
or maybe you just said sun tan and meant sunscreen. either way sunburns arent good.
