RESULTS GALLERY

The 2008 TCS Series has concluded its season and we have 6 new champions that have been crowned with the running of the 14th Annual TCS North American Finals.

For 2008 the three classes that were eligible to win a trip to Japan to compete at the Tamiya World Championships were Mini, GT-1 and GT-2. The three new champions are:

  • Mini: Dylan White
  • GT-2: Tony Tam
  • GT-1: Steven Bortolotti

    Tamiya America, Inc. would like to congratulate these three winners for all their hard work and perseverance in the 2008 season! We know they will represent the USA and Canada very well and do their best to bring home a world championship in their respective class. Good luck to the winners in Japan!

    Tamiya would like to thank all of the TCS participants and TCS Regional host sites for supporting the TCS Series this year. It's because of your support and enthusiasm that we continue to put on the series. It's a fun series to put on and we are always striving to make it more innovative and challenging for both new and veteran series racers alike.

    We would also like to thank all the volunteers that have kept the Tamiya R&D Test Track Facility going for the past year. It's their dedication and countless hours of hard work that have kept the track clean and prepped for all our visitors on Saturday Open Practice Day.

    Thank you: Max Valles Kevin Niino Timmy Valles Alex Lopez Mark Hinkley Craig Richter Tom Kahl

    The 2008 TCS North American Finals could not have been possible due to our ambitious new Tech procedures without the help of Izzy Suarez, Ian Aquino, Alex Rengifo, Rod Canare and John Hallman. Thanks guys!
