Reedy has confirmed that Team Associated Factory Driver Ryan Maifield has signed to race Reedy’s all‐new .21 competition nitro engine for the remainder of the 2008 season and beyond. Input from a driver of Ryan’s caliber is instrumental in the development of an engine suitable for World Class competition. In Ryan’s first race with his new powerplant, the 2008 Summer Nitrofest at The Farm 2, he qualified on pole position and nearly led wire‐to‐wire to win in convincing fashion.
