Mike McMasters asked me to let everyone know that the Ustream video feed has been very flaky and unstable today and that he's having a hard time keeping it going. He's rebooting the feed when he can between his race directing. Seemingly it is a network or Ustream issue that he can't really do anything about.

Awesome coverage as always, Cheater and others!

Congratulations to Rick Bennardo Jr.

[Cheater]

I've got some more pics to post, but they'll have to wait until we make the nine-hour drive home tomorrow. Too tired to do any more tonight...

My .02 for this first R4 hand-out race. Being new into slot racing for over a year now, and my second R4 race.

 

But having race R/C for over 30 years I would have to say this was one of the best-run racing events for hand-out motors that I have attended. The preparation and execution was very well thought-out. Organizing an event of this caliber takes a lot of time and thinking to perform such clocklike actions. Kudos to Mike McMasters and all the people behind the scenes that never get much credit for their timeless work. And really in the end the racing seemed to be much closer, the motors more equal and the cream will always rise to the top, but the ingredients change a little.

 

Congratulations to all the winners and everyone that had a great and fun time attending this great event.

 

Also would like to thank all the cooks and people that made all the goodies and food for us racers. Thank you!

[MSwiss]

Congrats to Ricky Jr. on a terrific (record?) run in F1.

Also to Willy and Will on rounding out the podium.

Special congrats to Taylor Davis on making an R4 Main at his first visit to TTH.

Thanks to Greg on the great coverage.

[Fast Freddie]

Way to go, Ricky!!! Tell your dad I think he's looking old. LOL.

[John Good]

It was great to meet you in person, Greg. Thanks again for all you do for our hobby.  

 

And thanks to Mike and his entire family for an amazingly smooth event.  

[Eddie Fleming]

Like Mike, I was impressed with Taylor Davis's F1 A Main.

Good show, Taylor.
