The big prize of the day was the new OFNA/HoBao Sprint car going to Gary Marshall. Robin Nelson, OFNA racer, won both the 1/8 scale Sprint A-main and the Super Late Model A-main. Stan Harrington TQ'd the Super Late Model and Robin Nelson TQ'd the 1/8 scale Sprint. OFNA ruled the entries with over 90% of drivers racing the OFNA car's.

OFNA Team pilot Jeffrey Lin wins the Series Championship in RCGT
After a hard fought race, Jeffrey Lin and his JL-10e sedan won the final and took the points championship and the RCGT series.
This was the first time Jeffrey has competed in this series and a first for OFNA's new JL-10e RCGT class competitor. I think this puts to bed all thoughts, that the JL-10e sedan @ $130.00 (street) is a competition racer by beating cars that cost two to three times as much. Paying more does not make you a winner, just "_______". Great Work Jeffrey! HI!

Bradley and Kortz both had good starts and battled for the lead during their first two tanks of fuel. Just before the start of the main event, Kortz had changed to OFNA's yellow foam inserts which proved to be the winning choice as he slowly started to extend his lead and win the race after 40 minutes under a 90 degree sun. Also in the 1/8 Electric Buggy class Tim Bump took TQ and won the A-main. Jeremy didn't have time to get his electric prepared, since he wanted to put on a good show using his Nitro Buggy. Sorry Kortz.. you could have been a two timer!
