Kotaraja Touring Party’09

On 17th Oct, I attended an r/c car race at Kotaraja.

It was like a farewell event to me as I am going to leave my company soon which means that I will not be working in r/c industry anymore. It is just so hard to say goodbye for a job that I have been working for almost 4 years.

The event went pretty well.
The players took this fun race very seriously. It made the race became very exciting while they were chasing the best lap for their own position.

FEMCA Buggy Championship 2009

Yesterday I went to watch the exciting FEMCA Buggy Championship 2009 at Glenmarie Subang Jaya. Have been waited for this event for a few months as I was looking forward to meet all the world class rc drivers - Surikarn, Atsushi Hara, Papong, Wayne Walker, Meen and so on.

I was so excited and I am now still feeling great for meeting them.

It was a hot day. Standing still under the hot sun to watch all the top drivers perform.
It was an enjoyable day for me as I got the chance to talk to and to take photos with famous world drivers. They are like a Super Star to us in the RC industry.

The event was good. Very well-organised.
The best thing was watching all the drivers fighting for placing. All the spectators were so happy and excited to cheer for their own team and their favourite drivers.

RC Planet Races - Penang Open Photos

Penang Open RC Car Race which held at Esplanade Penang will be the most suffering race that we have been organised.

There is no ready rc track for us to organise the race so we have to build our very own temporary rc track from scratch. The only thing there are available for us is just a normal long road and a bright extremely hot sun with no shades at all. And of course with limited helping hands.
With these conditions, we will have to build a track with the size of 150ft x 80ft and with track racing layout. So, girls like me and one of my colleague will have to work under the hot sun with all the strong men. Luckily, we managed to get the track done on time and it looked pretty well as well.

Other than that, we will have to arrange for 8ft tall control stand, canopies, tables, chairs, electricity and so on.

Drivers ready in the control stand.
