Here is the link for the Hi-Def version of the video I recently uploaded. This is from the first Lynwood Dragway event of the year. It was also the first event shot with the new Hi-Def camcorder! The video is zipped, and around 40 meg. It’s in mp4 format. If you don’t think you can watch such a video, check out the online version HERE! It’s in flash format. Enjoy!

I finally had a few days to put together a full video from the Lynwood Dragway event opener a few months back! This was one of the first videos shot with the new Hi-Def camcorder! I’ll try and have a real hi-def version to download soon, but this one looks pretty darn good! This was an official Midwest RC Drag Racing event.

Thanks to everyone for all their support, this was a good time for sure! Feel free to discuss in the official Midwest RC Drag Racing Forum!

Another great weekend of racing! We had a decent turnout at the Lynwood R/C Dragway this weekend for the Big Squid RC Breakneck Bash. The weather held off, and we didn’t get the 95’s people were talking about, but we did get some 130 degree track temps! Kevin and Jerry did a good job of keeping the track prep’ed while Big Will and StangRey awesome at keeping things organized and keeping the event moving. I think this was by far the most organized event Lynwood has had, and I think it’s just going to keep getting better.

Over in the Midwest RC Dragracing Forum, there are results posted as well as some pictures starting to get posted. Here are the results for those to Lazy to click over:

What a weekend! This was the Season Opener of the Midwest RC Drag Racing Season! With some luck on my side, I won the Extreme Dragster class! It wasn’t really the way I wanted to win, but I’ll take what I can get. The amazing news is that ticket on the right side there. Stangrey had a 106mph run! It was like a bullet! Sadly, that same run, I was his competition and crossed the finish line in the air while ripping some of the wires out of my speed control!

There were a few new people at the event including people from Wisconsin and Missouri! Hopefully they make some of the upcoming events as well. The more new people to the sport the better! (Driver from MO, if you are reading this, drop me an email.. I didn’t catch your name.)

G and his group did a AWESOME job on the floor of the track! Both the drag track and the on-road track were spotless and tight! Great work guys!

Here are a few pictures I snapped at the event. Hopefully will get some video cut in the future.
