Race Report
1999 ROAR Gas Off Road Nats
RC10GT's SWEEP ROAR NATS
Western R/C, Las Vegas, NV--A new record of 207 gas off road racers participated in this ROAR Gas
Off Road Nationals. The race was hosted in Las Vegas at the Western R/C Track. There
were racers from all around the country having fun gas racing in spite of the 100 degree
heat.
Richard Saxton and Mark Pavidis had a close race for Top
Qualifier honors, but Richard just edged out Mark for the TQ spot. When the main events
were posted, they showed the RC10GT’s dominating by taking 8 out of 10 places
in the A-Main event!
Mark Pavidis led the Main from the beginning with a hard-charging
Richard Saxton not too far behind. But about half way through the race Mark had a problem
and dropped back. Billy Easton and Saxton had a great race for awhile--until
Billy’s engine died on a pit stop. But Billy roared back to take a 3rd place finish
just half a second behind Greg Degani, who was closing on Saxton. But Saxton held
onto the lead to win yet another major Gas Off Road event. That’s probably why
he’s called "King Richard."
