2008 Watermelon Nitro Blast
Almost 200 participants and enthusiasts gathered at the Outlaw RC
Raceway at Aiken, in South Carolina. Fathers and sons joined in at the
event, which took place on 26 July 2008.
A number of youngsters took part. Some have become keen racers after
being introduced to RC racing at the tender age of 5 or 10. The
excitement of the Nitro blast draws the racers and spectators, and many
wonder why the sport is not more popular than it is.
