My Team Associated #RC8B4_2 felt great all week long on Hotrace Tyres Factory clay compound Tokyo tires. The Reedy Power servos were precise and my #Samuri RM.1 engine stayed lit for the 10 minute stops as well with great fuel milage. Some of the qualifiers we had fuel for 14 minutes of run time! Stoked with this package from AMain Hobbies.

I had consistently built my pace as the event progressed. In Free practice I floated around 25th each time out, then around 20th for the seeding runs and eventually was able to get some top 10 runs in qualifying to make the semifinal directly. The 30 minute semifinal came down to the final few laps and I ended up squeaking into the hour long final to earn the 12th and final direct transfer spot by 0.02 seconds!

The final was great, we made some adjustments after the semi and we had a great car. I had a rough start but pushed until the end to give myself an outside shot at a podium, battling for 5th a good bit of the race only a few seconds out of the top 3. In the end I would finish P7 overall after a big mistake in the closing laps. Still stoked with this nonetheless.

Huge thanks to my brother Austin Horne for coming to this one with me as mechanic. He made my life a lot easier, as I barely had to turn a wrench all week long. Not to mention he kept the car running in #mint condition the entire event with some great fuel stops in the finals. #theman

Congratulations to David on the Win! As always huge thanks to everyone that supports me as well as the team for the good times, I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to surround myself with❤️Next up for me is the INS Finale at Hoosier RC Hobbyplex😎
