    4. I Would like to thank Kyosho for this Opportunity. I have just returned from the Worlds Warm up Event in Las Vegas and the 2016 Asian Buggy Championship in China where I got to do a lot of testing of the new Kyosho MP9 TKi4. It was great help for preparation for the upcoming Worlds Championships. My Goal for the World Championships is to finish in the top 30 of the world. I believe that's where I should be in the world. Thank you

    4. In preparing for the Ifmar world's I've put in alot of track time in order to adjust my tki4 further to my driving style. Many hours have been put in to get to this point. The car will be prepared as any other race as so far it has performed admirably and I believe in constancy, and if it's not broken don't fix it. It has taken the punishment of our loose, loamy and unforgiving tracks like a champ and I expect nothing less from it. I look forward to this experience with open arms and expect to represent my country in the best possible way as it is the 1st time we participate in this event. Look forward to making new friends and further expanding the hobby for our nation.

My goal is to finish the race knowing I gave 110% so I won't have any regrets! Surviving a week in Vegas and don't get stuck in Casinos would be a winning result as well!

    4. In preparation for the upcoming world championships, I have been practicing, as well as doing as much racing I can get in before the attending the worlds. I' am extremely confident with my program leading up to this race, I strongly believe that I' am running the best products that are available at this time for 1/8th Nitro Buggy racing. As far as my goals and expectations go, I believe I can qualify somewhere around the quarter finals which I would be extremely happy with.

    4. I have been to the RC Tracks of Las Vegas many times, with all the different surfaces they have created. I think the World Championship condition will be similar to the Silver State in 2015, which was a great race for me. I will do a lot of practicing at my local track with my car setup for that condition so I feel very comfortable when I arrive in Las Vegas. My first ever IFMAR World Championship was here in Las Vegas in 2000, and Yuichi Kanai won with the KYOSHO. I feel that 2016 is my best chance to win the World Championship, so that is my goal. I am doing all the work necessary to give myself the best opportunity.
