Report: Alexander Hagberg
The International Indoor Championships is a classic event which marks the start of the indoor carpet season. It is held every year at the Riviera Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Blvd. Team XRAY was in full attendance at this event and was hoping for some strong results.

In the Modified class, I had a decent qualifying, lining up 2nd on the grid just in front of my team mate Paul Lemieux. The new 2014 edition of the T4 was working very well, only with some smaller fine tunings. A late mistake in the final let Paul Lemieux by which meant that I finished 3rd overall. XRAY had two cars on the podium, and 5 cars in the main final - the most from all manufacturers. It was great to see, that four of those five XRAY drivers came from my home country Sweden! Except for myself and Paul Lemieux - Magnus Vässmar, Niclas Nilsson and Niklas Johansson had also made the final with their T4'14 and T4 cars!

I also had a good running with the new X12'14 car. Even though testing time were really limited before the race - I still had a good feeling in the end. For Q4 I had found a good set-up which meant that I could move up to 2nd on the grid - just behind the dominant Donny Lia. In the main final, I was struggling a bit for high speed steering, but could still hang on to 2nd place overall which is one of my best international results in 12th scale Modified. Paul Lemieux also made the final with his X12'14 car. I really like the adjustability of the new front end, and the neat ride height shims that goes with it.

RC America driver Eric Anderson definitely had a great weekend - finishing 2nd in the competitive 13.5T 12th scale category. His X12'14 car was handling great all throughout the race which helped him score a strong 2nd place finish. Eric went on to win the 17.5T Stock TC class as well to round off a weekend of strong results.

The team had a strong running in the 13.5T Super Stock TC class as well - with 6 cars in the main event. Unfortunately, none finished on the podium. It was great to see the young and talented Blake Keulen bump up from the C-main to make the final!


Overall we can look back on some strong results for the new T4 and X12 2014 versions. The team has done a good job and we are looking forward to the upcoming carpet events!
