 | Sal Amato Present With Maxy's Fuel At The Capitol Classic |

Sal Amato, Maxy's Fuel team driver, was present at the Capitol Classic but some mechanical problems kept him out of the A main.
Here is a report with his own words:
" Well the 09 Capitol classic has come and gone and it was a crazy weekend for me.
Mother nature really put a hurting on this event, Thursdays practice
shortened by rain and Fridays qualifying was a wash. I was very excited
for this event and had a lot of confidence.
I had nothing but problems leading up to the qualifying and with the
bad weather didn't have much time to get things right. The first round
I had a decent run but was dealing with a car that turned one way
significantly more than the other (bad Servo) even with that I was
sitting 9 after first round. Second round was troubled by a bad tire
decision as well as a bad 2 speed and I couldn't improve my time. After
looking over two speed and going back to round one tire combo I was
feeling good about round three and was ready to improve my time. During
the third round run I was hit by a another car which caused my battery
connector to be broken and lost power. After Qualifying was over I sat
Th ( B Main)
As I prepared for the main I had put in a new motor that Maxy helped
me set up (clutch and tune). I had made a couple of changes to my setup
and was feeling pretty good about a bump up. toward the end of warm
up I had some electronic problems causing motor to rev (needed to call
1 min grace) Maxy figured it out and got me ready before the minute was
up. At the start of the race I was sitting around mid pack and the car
was handling good ,then the two speed problems started again and pretty
much continued throughout race causing me to lose power, at this point
I realized the bump up was out of reach and just tried to finish the
race. When the race was over I had finished fifth giving me third with
the 2 bump ups.
The entire weekend was an uphill battle, but with Maxy at my side I
never had to worry about runtime, Power or my tune and I am grateful
for his support.
Sal Amato "
Thanks for choosing us as your fuel and better luck next time.

 | Maxy's Fuel Wins In 301 |

Congratulations to our own Maxy Velazco 2009 Capitol Classic Champion on the 1/8th scale masters class. Here is a brief report on his words:
"Well this past week was held in 301 raceway in Maryland the 2009
Capitol Classic in a week full of emotions, race emotions that is. the
practice days went smoothly and i was able to set up my car up so it
was perfect for the qualifying rounds.
From the beginning of the qualifiers i was battling for the TQ with
Joaquin De Soto every round until in the last round of qualifying with
one turn to go i tangled with a lapped car losing the TQ pace that i
was running on and finally qualifying in the second place.
Then we went back on the track on Sunday and i noticed that the car
was better than ever the conditions seemed to be perfect for ma way of
racing shortly after the start tone i took the lead from Joaquin and
started to pull away, by the end of the first lap i was half of the
straightaway in front of the second place but then i had a close
encounter with the wall moving my rear body post out of place but i
just got myself together and kept driving noticing that the car wasn't
the same ( later it was discovered that the rear sway bar had broken
due to the accident ) but after my pit man fixed my body on my first
fuel stop i just kept driving it and managed to regain the lead wich
took me to winning the 2009 Capitol Classic.
My car and radio system worked perfectly through out the whole week
helping me to pull off what appeared to be an impossible victory. I
want to thank my sponsors Futaba, Serpent, Maxy's Fuel, RC America and Matrix Tires who made it posiible for me to grab the win.
Maxy Velazco"
Here are the final results for the A main 1/8th Masters:
1st Maxy Velazco Maxy's Fuel 2nd Rick Davis 3rd Joaquin Desoto Maxy's Fuel 4th Greg Esser Maxy's Fuel 5th Eli Ezrow 6th Mike Saputo 7th Mark Unger 8th Greg Hill 9th Harry Hananouchi 10th Paul Becattini Maxy's Fuel 11th Kenny Campbell Maxy's Fuel

 | Successfull Weekend For Nigel At The Kamikase Invitational Using Maxy's Fue |
 
This past weekend was held in California the Kamikase Invitational race with some Maxy's Fuel drivers in attendance such as DJ Apolaro Sean Lue and Nigel Sim with DJ getting 5th in Sedan Nigel 2nd in 1/8 scale and Sean bumping to the 1/8 scale A main it was a great weekend for the Maxy's Fuel Team.
Here is a brief report of the race on the words of Nigel Sim:
"Hey everyone,
This past weekend May 16, & 17,
2009 was the 1st Kamikaze Open Invitational sponsored by
my father’s hobby store, Kamikaze Toys and Hobbies, at Crystal Park
R/C Raceway, with drivers across the nation from California to Florida.
Our own DJ Apolaro and Sean Lue came to visit my home track. We had
beautiful weather and we reached the 120 persons entry limit.
Saturday’s 1/8th qualifying
saw Mike Swauger up front after round one and me in 3rd position.
After round 2, I was able to take TQ in front of Mike Swauger by 1 second.
In the 3rd round, we saw that it would be another battle
to take the top spot, but unfortunately my engine went blew the 2nd
lap after flaming out at the end of the warm up. Swauger was now again
TQ, Ron Calangi had moved into 2nd and I stayed in the 3rd
spot. In 1/10th Sedan, I ran into a lot of lap traffic in
1st and 2nd round. In the 3rd round
I played it safe to keep myself in the main event and I landed in the
7th position on the grid. Fellow Serpent racer DJ Apolaro
was able to qualify 10th in both classes.
Sunday’s main events saw many of
our local Team Kamikaze/Team Serpent drivers playing the bump up game
with Jonathan Prather doing a wonderful job in the C-main to bump up
into the B-main. As he continued onto the B-main, he was in contention
every lap to make the event, but unfortunately his motor flamed out
before the last pit stop. Jonathan did a wonderful job. But on the other
hand we had Sean Lue bumping into the 1/8th A-main event,
congratulations!
In the 1/10th sedan main
event, the car felt really good, but the long main event setup, my car
started traction rolling, I waited for my car to come in, but it was
too late, so I just drove to finish and I ended up in the 7th
position with DJ finishing 5th.
For the 1/8th A-main, my
plan was to just maintain my position in the 3rd spot, but
fortunately I was able to breakaway from the crash at the start to stay
in 2nd. Mike Swauger had his exhaust spring wear through
his header so he was unable to continue the event. This put me in the
lead, holding the position up until the very last part of the race when
I tangled with lap traffic causing me to fall back one position and
finish 2nd.
It was a great weekend for Team Kamikaze,
and Team Serpent. I would like to thank my father for putting on this
event, Crystal Park R/C Raceway for having us, all the people who support
my father’s store and came out to this event. Thanks to all the Team
Kamikaze guys for the wonderful entertainment in the pits, Robert Morris
for helping me with my electronics problems. And all of my sponsors:
Kamikaze Toys and Hobbies
Serpent America
KO Propo America
Maxy’s Fuel
Xceed R/C "
Congratulations guys and keep up the good driving.

 | Kamikaze Race |
Anonymous writes "Hi Guys,
Here is the race report. I have no photos, sorry. This
weekend we had the Kamikaze Race in California. I arrived to the track
on Friday to break in some motors. When traction came up I started
working on the car and tried to find a set-up for the sedan and 1/8
scale. The sedan was close, but not very fast. The track was bumpy and
I needed to learn a line that could allow me to be fast. The typical
line was not going to work. In 1/8 scale the car was too pushy. The
track was small for 1/8 scale and very technical. My 966 was just a
little off. Qualifying started and I felt good with my sedan.
I went out for the first qualifier and my car was pretty good. I was
running fast laps and would have placed second for that round. However
I had some problems on the pit stop and that killed my run. We are
running 7 minute runs, which is new for me. For the second run I did
not change anything since my car was good. All of a sudden my car was
not that good and I just made sure to finish. They used VHT and not
sure what that may do during the heat. The track actually felt like it
had more traction in the heat. For the third round I made some changes
and it was not good. I did not even finish the run. This meant my one
run I finished will have to count, even though it was not a good one.
That run placed me last in the "A" and I would have to hope to better
my performance in the main. For 1/8 scale my luck was much the same. I
only finished one run and it was also a safe run just to finish. This
run also put me last in the "A" also. For the mains I felt
good, even with the problem in qualifying. I was one of the faster guys
and felt I could improve a lot. In the sedan I stalled at the start and
just felt like the tough luck was to continue. On top of that my car
was traction rolling and I could not push the car at all. Every time I
tried the car was not good. I must have rolled the car about 7 times.
With that the car also stalled almost every time I came into the pits.
I was able to finish the race and ended up in 5th place. In the 1/8
scale race I felt good in the warm up. My car was really fast and
handling well. I started in the the 10th spot and was able to work my
way up to 2nd position. My pit man was doing a good job of getting me
in and out. I was making some small errors, but was still able to
maintain 2nd place. Then 1st place had a problem and I was able to take
over the lead. It stayed like this for a while and I had extra pits to
make. I was able to keep the lead and battle with 2 other cars back and
forth. They had less stops and when I would pit they could take the
lead till they pitted. Then I gained enough that I was able to pit and
still come out just in front of them. Then it happens. I had my rear
belt go out. This was the end of my race. By the end of the race I
ended up in the 9th spot. I must say it was a tough weekend
of racing, but a great time hanging out with friends and making new
one's. I had not been to the west coast in about 4 years and had never
been to this track. Special thanks to Kevin H. for the pit
work all weekend. I would like to thank the race crew for their hard
work and to Kamikaze hobbies for holding the event. Also to my sponsors
that make all my racing possible. Serpent, Serpent America, Xceed,
Maxy's Fuel, Novarossi World, Twister Tires USA, ATS, Paintin Pete,
Faskolor, Parma. Till next race, DJ Apolaro "
