One of the best event (and one of my favorite) in R/C is definitely the TCS Nationals.  It's a close competitive racing with level playing field rules.  It also have one of the best racing atmosphere where every year at the national it feels like a big family gathering.  It's definitely an event worth checking out, especially if you own a Tamiya on-road vehicle.  If you don't, come check it out anyway, it might just convince you to get one :)

I'll be competing in the F1 class, which is mounting a huge come back this year with the F104 and the F103 15th anniversary edition kit.  The F1 class is wildly popular in Japan and it is definitely catching on here again in the US.  Although this would be my first F1 race, I'm lumped together with the TRF group at this event.  My goal is to at least stay on a competitive pace with the group and with no less than 5 previous pass TCS champions and Tamiya's own David Jun himself, staying on pace would be an achievement in itself.

Feel free to stop by my pit area if you want to check out the F1 cars, have questions, or need someone to take your car through tech, I'll do what I can to help.

See you guys this weekend!
