Everybody knows that Friday is meant for reminiscing old times. Each week we take you back in time as we flashback to some of R/C racing's greatest moments, products, drivers, and more!

Flashback: 2009

Taylor Petersen and Matt Gosch won Pro Buggy and Pro Truck at Motorama

Motorama is the largest all-indoor motorsports event in the U.S., with a wide array of racing events from go-karts to Arenacross - and for over a decade, RC car races. For the last few years, multiple RC tracks have been organized for different cars, and this year includes separate 1/8- and 1/10-scale tracks as well as a trail/scale course and even plans for a demolition derby.

LiveRC first covered the RC portion of Motorama back in 2009 - and the winners of the pro classes might surprise you!

1/8-Scale Nitro Buggy:

Taylor Petersen (O’Donnell/O’Donnell/AKA)

Mark Pavidis (Kyosho/O.S./AKA)

Scotty Ernst and Charlie Suangka are running the 1/8-scale and 1/10-scale tracks at this weekend’s Motorama - and while it’s not certain that they’ll be able to get a stable Internet connection in order to broadcast video, you can at least follow along with results this weekend:
