Hara and Hirosaka battle for Reedy Race Glory

This years 2008 Reedy Race of Champions is now in the books and anyone who knows this race, know it as an exhibition of the world’s best drivers.  Fighting for the top spot in the invitational class was former world champs, Hot Bodies Atsushi Hara and Yokomo’s Masami Hirosaka.  Just when it looked like Hara would make it a clean sweep for the win in the early rounds, Hirosaka wouldn’t go down so easy.  It all came down to the last qualifier with Masami in the lead needing that crucial win to take the over all win.  Marc Rheinard piloting his Tamiya 416 was right on Masami’s rear view mirror and would make then pass when Hirosaka rolled and that bobble eventually cost him the over all win; Atsushi Hara would take top honors.
