It’s been 28 years since the NaƟonals were last held in
Wichita. When you look back at things that have
changed in that Ɵme it’s interesƟng to also note those
things that stay the same...
Entrants at this year’s event come from 11
different states, compared to 12 previously.
Of the 77 entrants that made it to the 1988 event,
4 of those are joining us again this year: Al Hobbs,
Dave Bestpitch, James Osborne, and John Borden.
Over half the classes running this year are gasoline
powered, but back then all of the classes were
nitro powered - as gas and electric classes didn’t
start running at NaƟonals unƟl 5 years later. The
core nitro classes of A, B, C, X Mono and A, B, C, X
Hydro are sƟll running today.
Then & Now...
