Cheers to all of our builders and combatants for making our fifth Coppa a very memorable event! All models handled exceptionally well and with fewer than a handful of de-slots one of the cleanest events to date!!! Several close finishes and nose to tail heats were a well deserved and rewarding spectacle for everyone in attendance. BTW, No models were damaged during this event… Can’t wait till the next Coppa!
Art. Thanks a million for the race report!
Also. Thank you very kindly for taking such stunning photos of the cars! You always make sure all the cars look great. I always look forward to your pics after each race. They never go unnoticed.
Cheers,
Ken
