Interview
Hello Matt, Welcome to Team Serpent

Q:. Which classses will you run for Serpent ?
A: I will be running both electric and nitro off road classes.

Q: In which area of the USA you race most and which tracks ?
A: I find myself lucky to live and race in the Southern California where both the competition and number of tracks is large.

Q: What is your favourite track and why ?
A: My favorite electric track is Westcoast Raceway in La Habra,Ca, this is also my home track and I feel very lucky to have such a nice facility to run at. On the nitro side of racing I feel that Thunder Alley in Beaumont, Ca is one of the best facilities to both race and practice at.

Q: Which big races will you attend this year ?
A: I plan on attending as many major races as my school schedule allows, but a few major races that I'm looking forward to include the ROAR Fuel Offroad Nationals in June, Roar Electric National in August and the IFMAR Electric worlds in September.

Q: Which brand radio, servo, tyres, engine and fuel do you use ?
A: My current equipment consists of Airtronics radios and servos, AKA tires, OS motors and Nitrotane fuel.

Q: What is your current job ?
A:I'm currently in my third year of college studying Economics and plan on graduating in the next year or two.

Q: Whom do you see as best rc driver in the world today and why ?
A: I believe that there are a handful of drivers that can win at world level races, but I believe that Atsushi Hara is one of the best rc drivers in the world due to his ability and knowledge to run such a wide variety of classes at the highest level of competition.

Q: How is the feel of the Serpent cars, compared to what you build and ran before ?
A: The Serpent cars seem to be of very high quality and possess innovative features. The most important thing that I noticed when I initially tested the Serpent cars was the level of precision and robustness that the cars were designed with.

Q: What is your next bigger race to attend ?
A: My first major race with Serpent cars will be the ROAR Fuel Nationals on June 13-16.

I appreciate the opportunity that Serpent has given me and hope to have much success with Team Serpent.

I would like to thank Joaquin Desoto and Paul Ciccarello of Serpent America for providing me with this opportunity and hope to prove successful in my new venture.
