Included in the event will be chassis set-up, engine tuning, driving tips, and racing Sunday afternoon. Entrants will be able to chose the Byron Fuel blend of their choice after listening to tips about fuel, oil, and nitro, and how it affects tuning. Also included is a BBQ lunch as well as many more prizes. More information is available on the flyer, or call RC Madness for more details. Cody had this to say about the event:

Kyosho and Regan LeBlanc did these types of events years ago, and when RC Madness asked us to do this, I jumped at the opportunity. We were going to do it last year, but it got too close to winter time and we had to wait. Now it’s finally here! I’m really pumped about the support from my sponsors, and it’s shaping up into a really fun weekend full of prizes, information, and racing. I really enjoy getting out there and talking to people and helping them. This is what is really fun about RC, just out talking to people having a good time and racing. We hope to see you at RC Madness in July.

Alberto Garcia wins Madrid Championship Rd1

The first round of the 2014 Madrid Championship took place last weekend with around 80 drivers in attendance. The event was a perfect warm up race for the European Championship “B” and the Spain Nationals which will be held at the same track this Summer, therefore many of the top Spanish drivers where in attendance. During practice rain made things slippery and it was S-Workz driver Albert Garcia (S-Workz/RB/JConcepts) who was able to make the best out of the slippery conditions. Just before the main final rain started to fall again but this did not keep Alberto from taking the win in front of Juanma Guillen (JQ/Alpha/ProCircuit) and Dani Vega (Agama/Reds/Beta).
