Thank YOU!


Dear Sponsors, Participants and Patrons,
On behalf of the entire working committee of YIDM 2011, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to your kind support.  Without your support, we would not be able to materialize our dream to bring a event of this scale to the R/C world.

Our goal is to create a regional event for R/C drift to represent something BIG for our R/C drifters and enthusiasts.  YIDM 2011 is a small step towards a bigger dream.  We intend to host the next event in another country within the region in 2012.  Please check out our blogs for details.  We will post updates as soon as we receive some progress. (Blogs: yokomoidm.blogspot.comteamyokomo.blogspot.comhobby-haven.blogspot.com)

We truly missed the fun and excitement presented during these 3 days of YIDM 2011.  We hope the participants have enjoyed this event and learn and meet new friends from around the region.  Participants in YIDM 2011 came from Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, and East & West Malaysia.

Special thanks to our Japanese friends, Mr. Takahiro Ueno and Mr. Masami Hirosaka, for joining us in this event and performing judge duties for the participants.  They have brought professionalism to YIDM 2011.  They have shared that they had truly enjoyed the company of everyone and amazed at the drifting skill demonstrated by our participants.

Last but not least, thanks again to our dear sponsors for their generous gifts.

Please continue to support our sponsors and in return, they will support events like this.  :-)

SEE YOU IN YIDM 2012!

P/S: we will be posting up picture links to our events.  Most of the pictures are posted in Facebook.  You can check out:
