Looks good Nic. I made a couple of speed runs with my 2S set up and I was able to reach 65mph. I'll be trying some different things to make it faster. I'm also waiting for a few new ESCs that should be awesome for sped runs.

Hey Guys
***We are going to a limit the number of entries, to 80***

Since the WFRCCC events yielded so few attendants we did not put a limit on the amount of entries.
But there seems to be a lot of interest – and after doing the math --- the 2008 International Speed Challenge, Might even, turn into a 2 day event.

So
Get your pre-entries in & plan to be flexible.
This is event is gaining more & more momentum. It now has the attention of Speed TV!



Speed is Cool

Will this event be free to attend? I'm only interested in watching, since I don't have enough $$ to put something together. ;)

Nic,

We both share a passion for speed. I love that movie. Before I came to the US, I used to race kart in Brasil. I was competing against 200cc+, but I only had a 125cc engine. My grandfather came to the US and got a small turbo so I could be competitive with the other guys. Well 120mph was the fastest my kart went, but being so low to the ground, it felt more like 200mph. Keep the records coming, I enjoy watching your cars do the unbelievable. One day I hope to meet you face to face, it would be a great honor.

Regards,

Luciano.

Congrats Nic,

Awesome work man. You know 200mph is not that far away from you now. I can't wait to see you there.
