No problem. Supporting these events is a pleasure.

Sticky'ed this thread.

[Steven Vaccaro]

I forgot to mention, anyone thats within driving distance or has the means to fly to this event should put it way up on the "to do" list.

I have personally met a few of these guys, These drivers and support crew are some of the top drivers and builders willing to share info to anyone thats willing to listen or ask for it! If your into rc electric hydros this will be the place to be in October!
