Overall this was a super season. We had more participants than last season and seem to be on a path to getting more drivers interested and ready to participate as well. It would be super if we can get a few more racers who can commit one day a month to one of the best RC racing series there is.

Our drivers participated in 8 of the 10 races available for scoring. We missed one month so the normal drop benefit we could have received was not available.

Out of a total of 84 racers from around the world here is how our club faired:

30th – schmenzer
42nd – DaveK (Tied)
42nd – MichaelD(Tied)
55th – slick (only 6 out of 10 races. Coming on strong!)
73rd – oicu812 (only 2 out of 10 races!)

The new 70-turn spec motor proved to be fast and had great drivability. Greg, Derrick and Michael ran the new 2.4Ghz MR-02LM chassis and bodies. These cars seem to be great and with very little modification out of the box are fast and competitive. In fact, my nearly stock LM is as fast as last season’s MR-02 that has a lot of goodies on it! For under $200 you can be in the thick of the action!

Season 7 for the HFAY OLPS series begins in January, 2009. We are looking for a couple more guys to add to the mix so if you are a driver and want to participate in a world-wide race series, let me know.
