BC Round 1Wed Jun 4, 2008 2:07PMWell May 29th was the first race for BC in the RC Pro Canada Series. The race was help in A quick rundown of the electric triple a mains. In 2wd trucks, Philip Battista took 1st in the first 2 mains to secure 1st overall. Bob Anderson placed 1st in the last main and with a 2nd place showing secured 2nd overall. Darin Eichorn scored a 2nd and 3rd to secure 3rd overall In 4wd mod, Rob Sorjonen got 1st place in the 1st and 3rd mains to once again take first overall (someone needs to stop this unbeaten streak he has going). Marc Ilton scored a 1st and a 2nd place finish to lock up 2nd, and nearly dethroned Rob. Barry Wilson scored a 2nd and a 3rd to lock up 3rd. In the Buggy C main Philip Battista took 1st, Eli 2nd and got the bump up to the B main. This gave Derek Johnson, who finished 3rd, the win for the C main. In Monster Truck, Dan Morin owned it. He TQ’d, started 1st, and finished in 1st without ever giving up his position putting 3 laps on the closest competitor. Andy Ranquist put on a good showing to take 2nd and Peter Retallick placed 3rd to finish off the podium. In the Buggy B main, Steven Proksa TQ’d for the pole position, but Marc Ilton ran a strong race and took the lead at the 5th lap and pretty much cruised to the victory from there with a clean run with 26 laps, taking 1st and getting the bump up to the A main. Philip Battista, bumped up from the C main, started 9th and drove like a madman to take 2nd placeand earn another bump up to put him in the A main. Steven took 3rd spot, and with the 2 bump ups, this gave him 1st place for the B main, with Mike M finishing 2nd and Dan Lewis taking 3rd. Philip, Steven, Mike and Dan all finished with 25 laps so it was really close. Ed had 24, Jag 23 The Arena Truck B main had Steven Proksa as TQ, but he could not start the main, so this put Fernando Ignacio on the pole. He fell back to 2nd until the 8th lap where Richard Phelps had mechanical trouble, then took 1st and held the spot until the finish earning him the 1st bump up to the A main. Richard Phelps, after getting back on the track battled his way back to 2nd place, and being on the same lap as Fernando took 2nd place and the 2nd bump up to the A main. This gave Greg Roberts 1st place, Roger Lambert 2nd place and Chis Chiu 3rd place. Now on to the big guns. The A mains. First in Buggy, we had Richard Infanti taking TQ. Richard ran a clean race with few mistakes to take the victory finishing 1 lap up on the rest of the field with 54 laps. Rob Sorjonen pushed Richard all race, held 1st briefly but at 28th lap bobbled and let Richard by for the lap up and couldn’t make it back. Rob finished 2nd with 53 laps. Marc Ilton started 9th from the bump up, and ran a clean race picking his way through the pack to earn 3rd place with 51 laps. The last race of the day was the Arena Truck A main. We had Darwin Wong as TQ though Richard Infanti jumped out to the early lead and looked like he was going to win this main as well until mechanical failure (blown dif) on the 49th lap, and oddly enough the same lap Derek Johnson had a flame out while running in 2nd place allowed Darwin to retake the lead. I was pitman for Derek and fought to get that motor started again and back out to run. The mains ended with All the results are posted and the points will be up shortly. Thanks to all the racers that showed up and made this first race such a success. Also kudos to the gang at CAMRC and Kamikaze Raceway for hosting the event and doing a great job.

The first ever RCPro Series race to be held in Canada was hosted by RCGEARs of Calgary on May 18. There were a total of 78 entries in the five class field of machines. The races and tech ran super smooth for the entire single day event. Intermediate Truggy saw second year driver John Guss and his Kyoho truggy take the TQ and win. Corey Jones and Matt Dickson rounded out the top 3.
Intermediate buggy had Edmontonian and RCRE president Steve Svendson take the win. TQ Shawn Felix had to retire early in the race. Rick Kapitan and Dave Cole finished 2nd and 3rd repectively.
Monster Truck showcased the power of electric as Calgary’s Ross Gibson Tq’ed the class with his E-revo. This is Ross’s first year of racing to boot!! The main had lots of great battles between the top three finishers with all of them swapping back and forth for the lead throughout the main. Darryl Olstadt took home the win with Dick Liew and Ross Gibson taking 2nd and 3rd.
In Expert Truggy Medicine Hat’s Ty Tessman put on a driving clinic, both Tq’ing and taking the win. Calgary’s Troy Davies drove the wheels off his Kyosho truggy to come from 10th place early in the race to finish 2nd. Jammin’s Navaz Walji took 3rd.
Expert Buggy had Ty Tessman repeat his truggy performance by Tq’ing and winning the race. Also from Medicine Hat Dustin Fedosa took 2nd with Troy Davies rounding out the main in 3rd.
Thanks to everyone who came out to make Canada’s first ever RCPro series event a huge sucsess. The racing was great and the racers were top notch. A big thanks goes out to the RCGEARs club for the awesome facility and for one of the smoothest races ever to be held in Canada!!
Race SeasonTue May 13, 2008 2:45PMThis weekend is the first RC Pro Series race in Canada. It is the opening round in Alberta of the Nitro series. Excitement is building by the minute and the buzz amongst racers couldn't get much more intense as the hours tick away.

Remember, we need video of the races, pictures, interviews and such, so any of you up and coming journalists and camera buffs out there please submit your unedited videos to rc pro monthly (the link is in the scrolling marquis up top if you were unsure where to send them or who to contact).... thanks for any support you can give on this as it really adds to the racing experience to be able to come back time and again to vie the memories Track pictures and informationMon Mar 24, 2008 10:41PMHave a look in the photo and video section for information and pictures of the tracks involved in your area.

RC PRO MONTHLYSun Feb 17, 2008 4:48AMI am trying to complete a project that I intended to introduce on New Years but as is sometimes the case things just didn't come together as quickly as I had hoped. I've talked to various people in the industry in the last couple years about an RC Pro Magazine BUT! There's always a BUT! Most of the people in the know all agree there isn't enough market to support that kind of magazine. Read that as printing is very expensive! So the thought of an online only magazine was discussed. Better pricing....... sort of but it would still be a full time job for someone to be the editor to put it all together. I currently spend 12-16 hours a day on RC Pro so that wouldn't be something I could handle myself. So here we are with the current idea! We will be doing an RC Pro Monthly Podcast! So what does this mean? It means I'm sending out a call to all those people I see videoing RC Pro events around the country. This will be a 1 hour podcast each month featuring RC Pro News which includes results from previous events, video clips from those same events, interviews with racers from around the country and product introductions from our sponsors. I am gradually getting all this together and hopefully will shoot our 1st episode when I get back from The Cabin Fever event in Idaho. Once we have our 1st episode in the can (film talk) then we can set the schedule for new episodes and have a better feel for what time of the month they will appear. Now for those of you concerned about having to see me on the video........ to bad! LOL Actually I'm setting this up where I will be on for a short time on each episode to help explain or intro something but the hosting duties will be done by someone else. So it won't be a full hour of me! I'm as thankful of that as you are trust me. So what do we hope to accomplish with this? The same thing everyone out there hopes to accomplish by uploading their videos on youtube and other sites. So what series will we focus on? Actually that depends on what we get material for! We will feature all of our series State, National, Onroad, Oval or Offroad but the success of this depends greatly on being able to work with the amatuer videoers out there and getting material to do the show. So big question! What will this cost to see and how do we do it?
