Is that 1/8th buggies or is it 1/8th scale anything?
sorry if this is a stupid question.

"1/8 off road" - sounds like buggies to me. Probably 1/8 nitro only, but not sure. It's a demonstration fun day after all.

I'm not racing there as I'll be photographing at the rally itself.

so no monster trucks?

1/8th off-road would be buggys and truggys.

All,

Due to the lack of confirmed entries this event had to be canceled.

That's a shame it was cancelled, it would of been a good way to promote RC racing in Ireland as a whole. I would of loved to have gone but I would be busy on the actual stages photographing.
