Sidewinder Nitro Explosion at Thunder Alley Raceway.
Also heard from an inside source this track might be the host for the 2008 ROAR 1/8th buggy Nationals. Unfortunately the weather was very cold, but the event was awesome according to Adam. Like most other remote control events many of the top US drivers attended, including are some of the following; Ryan Mayfield, Mike Truhe, Ryan Cavalieri, Jeremy Kortz, Greg Degani, Gary Guest, Scott Hughes, Levi Jackson, Brent Theilke and many more. Adam showed his skills by starting on grid in the 1/8th truck A-main in the first position and a respectable second position in 1/8th buggy expert class. During the warm-up Adam new that he had a good chance to finish well since every thing was working together from his Platinum fuel, Adam Drake “Draked” engines and Losi vehicles. Needless to say Adam performed in fashion once again showing his domination in the 1/8th truck and 1/8th buggy 45 min finals bringing home both wins.

Trinity just dropped a huge bombshell by announcing the return of on-road pro Paul Lemieux, horsepower guru Jim Dieter, and the legendary Dirtinator, Brian Kinwald. Brian made his name as one of off-road racing’s all-time greatest drivers while Trinity powered, and his return marks a highly anticipated comeback for the superstar. With multiple national wins, a World Championship title and five consecutive “Readers’ Choice Awards” for favorite driver, Brian is the man to watch in off-road for 2008. Teammate Paul Lemieux, considered by many to be the best on-road racer in the world, brings the heat with a long string of victories that includes the Novak Champs, ROAR Nats, Snowbirds, and the International Indoor Champs. Both drivers will benefit from the inestimable skills and experience of veteran motor man Jim Dieter, who has tuned the winning motors of too many drivers to count and helped develop some of Trinity™s most popular powerplants.
