Tough Competition! *Video Added*

So last Saturday (Nov 9th) My local Off Road club (Silverstone Radio Control Model Car Club) held the second round of their winter series & was amazed at the number of top drivers that I ended up racing against. The club normally attracts one or two of the top UK drivers even on a weekday evening club meet, but the number of racers that are capable of finishing in the top-10 at a national meeting (& a couple at a 'worlds') was unprecedented!

Was great to watch these drivers run & see how they do it & it was cool to see my name on the same qualifying list (& not too far down) in 21st! 8)

Lee Martin is the top driver in the UK at this moment (but not at this particular meeting) - his car waiting for its final run in the 'A'

Cool video. Watching British indoor offroad, is like watching F1 for some reason to me. I guess the speed through the corners (and everywhere else too :) ) and the low slung stance of the buggies.
