Dirt Oval Main Events, Indy R/C World, 4-20-2012

Friday evening saw 5 groups of racers show up for some high speed dirt oval action at Indy R/C world in Garland Texas (http://www.indyrcworld.net).  There was the 1/8th scale late model, Novice, 2 groups of short course, and the 13.5 Late Model class.  After three sets of qualifiers we had 4 high speed mains.  My favorite was the shortcourse open main which had 14 racers!















Here are the playlists for each group
