This weekend was round 3 of Czech national held in Prague. Rc club Radotin did very good job preparing track for the race. Weather looked to be very hot for all weekend.
On Friday we started with practice. My XB8 and XB8E were very good since beginning.
Saturday started with qualification. I was moved to worst heat where drivers were 10s slower than me. It wasnâ™t easy to make very good time. After qualification I finished 7th in nitro and 3rd in electric.

Cars felt very good and I knew I have pace to fight for podium.
With XB8E I finished 3rd overall, just 0.3 second behind 2nd place finisher. It was very tight race.
In nitro class I could do a little better with my XB8. After start I was crashed very hard by other drivers and lost immediately half a lap. In the end of final I was running 4th but in last lap I overtook 3rd place runner and finished 3rd.
It was very difficult race as I had to come back many times from back but in the end I am happy for this result.
