| just a quick update. the nationals was a lot of fun. dj did pretty good. he was winninge the B main but he broke out. i didnt do so well. i could never get my car to work so well in my qualifiers. i finally got the track figured out, but it was too late. i wound up in the F main. i managed to bump up to the E main and then i bumped up again to the D main. i had a pretty good start. i managed to get to 4th right from the start, but then someone hit my from behind and jammed my body up under my car. by the time the turn marshal fixed the car i was in 12th place. i think i finished 8th, it was definitely fun though.

| It was. Just results and details were hard to come by.
Top 5 Finishers were:
Cyrul (Kyosho)
Tosolini (Kyosho)
Morganti (Serpent)
Swauger (Mugen)
Ishitani (Mugen)
There was apparent chaos in this race as the rain came 18 minutes into the race which was then delayed 2 hours. Some drivers came right in and some kept going so some laps were gained or lost. Swauger and Paolo were reported to be the fastest but battery troubles slowed them down. That should be unacceptable from Swauger, who lost last year's Nationals with 8 minutes left because of a dead receiver battery.
Congratulations also to Maxy who finished 2nd in the Masters A-Main.
That's it. The full report and pics from Mike Myers will be in the next issue of RC Car ACtion or Nitro, not sure which one.
