Did you know that teams from Slovakia had once again their own national indoor championship? posted: Mar 5th, 2025 Teams from Slovakia have visited the neighboring Czech Republic for many years to compete at Jan Klapka's meets of the Czech Tunnel League at the Hurricane Factory in Prague.

Jan Klapka had launched his 4-way events as soon as the Hurricane Factory in Prague was ready for indoor action in 2011.

The NSL News met NMP PCH HayaBusa at the same place in a different corner this time.

He interviewed the team before the battle between the four U.S. teams began, where the indoor team finished in 3rd place behind guest team Aethers Medjay and the new U.S. indoor champions, the Golden Knights.
It was a natural topic in the conversation that covered the history and future of the team members. Niklas Hemlin is still reigning 4-way Open Class indoor and outdoor world champion after his time with Arizona Airspeed, and Keith Conner was his domestic opponent... (more)
