comparing rheinard and hara i believe every time hara is better i mean hes just got it all together he has killer set-ups and i hear he set a new record not too long ago. not to mention how much more wealthy atsushi hara has become over rheinard because of his countless wins. everyone has there own opinion but i believe the japenese "superhero" is the man no matter what.

according to what i have been told by multiple people this is how it went...
in the morning hara pulled marc aside and mde this kind of homie deal that they were going to run there tires in this order
5th round - NEW
6th round - used (they raced eachother in round 6)
7th round - NEW
8th round - used (they raced eachother in the last heat)
this was to make sure that they had good battles when they raced eachother and then run NEW tires when they werent racing eachother.
Supposidly Hara in the 6th round went against the deal and ran NEW tires when he raced marc. Wether he did or didnt no one will know but hara, but Hara was definitely fast the 6th round and beat Marc.
At that point there was lots of drama and Marc was pretty pissed off. They BOTH ran USED tires in the last round like the deal said but in order for HARA to win the event he had to win the last heat.
So if marc tangles them and puts them in 3rd and 4th for there heat then he has the win locked down.
Either way it happened it was kind of disappointing for the fans and spectators for it to happen that way. I mean it was aweseom knowing it was going to come down to the last race of the weekend to decide the overall and to have a stupid thing like what happened was a let down.
but oh well it happens it was a good event and what happened happened.
i would like to thank tamiya for holding another flawless event and would like to congratulate the Mike Truhe for his OPEN win and Reinhard / Hara / Numan for outstanding performances in the invitational class.

Swandog-you didnt do so bad yourself..congrats man....
on the other tip...i dont really care either way..i am a Francis/Hodge fan so i was left feeling a little dissapointed...both are outstanding individuals. Also being Matt's last Reedy i wish he could have had better results. so the rest of the arguement is done for me

lol Ranmar!
its true. what i dont like is people saying hara has done this and that. We live in the present and not the past and based on the past year or so i would bet my worth on Reinhard out doing Hara. Not that hara isn't an amazing driver, just that marc seems to be the guy to beat since the beginning of 2005!

I have the race (and every other race) on video. I don't have Premiere on this box but I will try to install it right now and see if I can get something up. I'll keep you posted.
To those that have emailed me in the past few days, I just got back, I will be getting to everything hopefully by tomorrow evening.

cool...put the video up so we all can STILL say he did/didnt do it on purpose... it would be cool to see it but i dont think it will change anyone's mind.

I am just disappointed that it came down to the last race of the entire event and the so called world champ couldnt keep from making contact at the end of the straight to ruin the entire phenominal build up prior to that last heat. If he had a beef with Hara, then settle it some other way. In my opinion, someone at that level has no excuses when running someone over going into a sweeper. Next time, maybe he should look around at all the spectators that deserve to see the best drivers at "their" best.
Marc Rheinard was the class of the field all weekend. He could have easily just raced with Hara and made a sweet pass on him sometime with the 2 minutes and 30 seconds that was left in the race. In my opinion, that would have stung a lot more than taking the easy way of just running him over. I mean, anyone can just run somone else over. It takes a lot more skill to pass someone clean.
I am done with my opinions on this topic and will not stir up anymore stuff.

Hara was on new tires, Marc was on halves. (Used up front, new in the rear).
that race ended with Hara in first, and Marc in second.
EDIT: My mistake on this... Marc was on completely USED tires (all fours).... the post above was an educated guess. i couldnt remember if it was all four that was used.. or just two. Troy (another tech) and Josh Numan, and other TRF drivers confirmed Marc's tires for the 6th round.
