MultiGP ProSpec-8 field splits into three groups at International Open

KILLIANFPV set the early standard in ProSpec-8, and the bigger story was how crowded the fight was behind him. A 24-pilot field broke into three eight-driver groups at the International Open, and the 79 total laps on the board showed just how little separation there was between clean runs and lost time.

That mattered because this was not a standalone club race. Main Stage-ProSpec-8 ran June 11 to June 12 inside the International Open, which stretched from June 10-14 in Muncie, Indiana, at the Academy of Model Aeronautics headquarters and the International Aeromodeling Center. The event was billed as the premier drone racing event in the United States, with about 200 pilots from 13 countries expected across five days, and Pro Spec sat in the middle of a championship path tied to the 2026 Pro Spec World Championship series.

Group A delivered the sharpest headline. KILLIANFPV, the racing handle for Killian Rousseau, won the bracket in 1:36.220 over three laps, with STATIKK next in 1:47.051 and FLYBOY2009 third in 1:49.717. The rest of the group stayed packed enough to matter, with REIKONFPV, CUMBER, CARB, KALLIFPV and PINO all working through a sheet where one mistake could flip the order in a hurry. The entry list tied that group to Kalli Ames, Pedro Caceres, Daniel Carbis, Stephen Gibbs, Cody Laberge, Killian Rousseau, Kacper Sobczak and Kaden Steckenrider, a useful reminder that the names behind the transponders were every bit as real as the times.

Group B was no softer. ADAPTFPV won in 1:50.539, only a tick ahead of TAXOO at 1:51.524, while FIRESERPENT took third in 2:00.244. TBELL, DREAMZ, FPV_LUKEY, ARVINFPV and BAGGSZILLA filled out a bracket that still demanded precision, and the entry list identified that field as Robert Baggs Jr., Mitchell Biehl, Richard Colman, Luke Crossley, Kyle Kaufman, Christian Logsdon, Arvin Schroeder and Brett Worrell. That kind of depth is what turns a qualifying sheet into a pecking order.

Group C kept the pressure on. FASTODON led in 1:50.896, THE_HERDER followed in 1:55.707 and TWEECH was third in 1:57.218, with WHEELMAN, MAKOREACTRA, DIN, BIGRAMON and ZENITH rounding out the heat. Those handles belong to Jarod Allen, Nate Garn, Timofey Germanov, Max Goin, Ramon Grande, Ryan Lessard, Ignacio Romero and Thomas Wiech, and the bracket again rewarded the pilots who could string together consistent laps instead of chasing raw speed alone.

The live-results platform also offered archived scoring and video, which only sharpened the picture: ProSpec-8 was not just one winner at the top, but a three-group test that exposed who can survive traffic, hold pace and stay relevant when the field gets deeper later in the championship season.
