This 2-day race was held in Southern Louisiana and hosted by Tri-City RC. The track crew put on a great race and the track held together nicely.
I was unable to attend the qualifiers on Saturday due to prior engagements, so the task at hand was quite large as I had to start dead last and bump through all the lower mains to make the Show.

With little practice before the mains started, I wasn’t sure on tire choice. I won the C-Main and then went on to take the B-Main as well. I changed a few things on my XB8TQ before the A-Main and went out feeling confident. Fellow Xray driver Sean Thomas had qualified 3rd but fell out of the race early due to engine trouble.

My buggy was solid and easy to drive throughout the 30-minute race and I ended up with the win.
