Not speed related...but I'm a big fan of off-road

This isn't speed related, but I wanted to post some video and pictures from the 2008 ROAR Off-road nationals. The 2008 ROAR Electric Modified Off-Road Nationals were held August 15-17 at Hot Rod Hobbies in Saugus, California. I first got into R/C cars around 1989 and I got an Associated RC10 Team Car. I raced off-road for many years until I went to college in 1998. I attended the 1998 Off-road nationals when it was in Lake In The Hills, Illinois. Off-road racing is my roots to R/C cars. Associated's Cavalieri won 2wd mod and truck mod and Maifield won 4wd mod. Here are some videos and pics from the event.
