2009 off road Worlds

[jimmy]

Long way off, but did someone already mention this? apparently the next 10th off road Worlds is back in South Africa. Is this the same venue as 2001/2?

Does anyone actually race in SA? I mean you get people on the forums from Australia etc but not once have I seen anyone from SA.

I see quite a South African's on the forums ..... however few of them actually still live there.

Might be an interesting one for me though as I could combine it with a trip to see my girlfriends family (on paper ..... actually spend the whole time watching RC..)

There was one dedicated racer from SA in Japan, and there are at least a couple on this forum. The chap from SA in Japan said that there is racing over there - but i guess it's quite insular since you never really hear much about it???

I have heard a lot of stories about the 2001/2 Worlds down there which didn't sound particularly good - nothing to do with the track or racing of course.

I think RC racing at world champs level is getting to be a battle of survival or welth depending on where you go.

Where did you hear this Jimmy???
I heard they were in Texas?????
It was Jaco in Japan, very cool dude, he did say he reads this forum, as do alot of other guys from there!!!!
On a positive note, I may get to go again if there is not a full UK team, but I do have a plan to gain entry if the Uk team is full....
Mwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Top secret though lol.
