ROSSA UK Speed Championships event videos from Raz Shifrin and Kevin Talbot.

Was lucky enough to meet both these guys at the ROSSA UK Speed Championships Event that I attend twice each year.
This year they came to the August event for the first time ever to run at ROSSA which was fantastic as Raz had a huge journey to make to get to us especially with all his kit/cars.

I'm not a massive Kevin fan however fair play for him going around to everyone and doing shout outs.

Definitely agree it was good of him. 
Both Kevin and Raz turned up at the event with huge pressures on them, after all they both wanted to break the World Record and not only that, they had stated to literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people through YouTube that was the goal. 
Add to that it was their first ever ROSSA event with a huge group of people they didn't know I think they did amazing under such pressure.  

 

I have watched Kevin's videos on and off for years purely because I like RC & he covers so many of them but I've never really been a fan of his presenting style.

However that's just for the camera and after meeting him in person (Raz too), talking to him at length over the 3 day event I have to admit he's a really nice guy imho & very humble too.  It was really nice spending time chatting with both of them and meeting the real people they are.

Great videos, showing the spirit of ROSSA at work, its not about the records it about the people!
Hope they make it to the much cooler and reliable july events, aug for the last 2 times in aug have been a bit damp and much cooler but not ideal for 200mph runs still as the runway is ice as soon as it rains.
The lad and I are enjoying watching what we missed and look forward to seeing more custom builds at the event too.

Eg. This awesome idea, its got so much potential like Kevs EDF. I hope he goes again next year!

My event was very problematic and I spent most of my time stripping & rebuilding/problem solving with the Typhon. 
I did get a new PB of 129mph odd with the Typhon and was hoping for more but was plagued with problems. The Limitless I never even ran as went to turn it on and my XLX was dead.  

It was an expensive event for me: x1 dead XLX, x1 set of GRP's, x1 motor mount, x2 dead 6S batteries, x1 Typhon shell and some other minor bits.
