The 2008 1:8 Onroad British National Championships kicked off over the Easter weekend at the very fast Brookland Circuit in Kent where defending champions Team Serpent took top honours in the cold conditions.
Saturday's practice saw drivers faced with a mixture of rain, hail and sunshine. On race day most drivers had the opportunity to test on a dry track but they had to contend with very cold air temperatures of only 2C. An example of how cold it was is that just before the start of Heat 1 it started to snow!

Dear Racers,
The next stop on our racing tour was Omaha, Nebraska. The site was Hobby Town, Hobby Plex. The race you ask was to be the US ROAR Carpet Nationals. As you arrive at the location the building itself was massive. The hobby shop was very complete from trains & planes to cars. They simply had everything a hobbyist would ever want.
