My CEN teammate, Andrew Smolnik, and I flew to Brazil on Wednesday night and arrived Thursday morning after a 18 hour flight. Thursday was a free day, so we headed to the beautiful beach across the street from the hotel. All of the racers that arrived early were there. We had some drinks and lunch and then headed to the track to check it out. Asa Branca Speedway was the nicest R/C track facility I have ever been to. A perfectly groomed all grass track, awesome driver’s stand, full bar, pool, and even a night club on the premises. The place was 1st class all the way and unlike anything I have ever seen in the USA. I also have never raced on grass before, so it was going to be a challenge.
