| The 2009 18th scale off-road nationals were held at Rc Madness in Enfield Connecticut again this year, with about 200 entries. When I first got to the track on Tuesday, it looked like a fast and easy track, although once I put a truck on it, I realized it was very technical and tricky. It took me the whole week to master, with a rhythem section, a big quad jump, and even a wall ride. |
|
|
| This year again i entered in four classes; Mod Buggy, Open Mini Monster, Stock 4wd truck, and Mod 4wd truck. On Saturday, three rounds of qualifying were run. By the time the third round was over, i had set TQ in Mod Buggy, Open Monster, and Stock truck. In mod truck I was qualified 6th. After a long day of qualifying, I went home to get some rest for the mains on Sunday. |
|
|
| Come Sunday morning, first up was my Stock 4wd truck main. I led the race from start to finish, winning by a half lap. next up was my open Monster Truck Main. I had a very rough start, dropping to about 4th place, but ended up climing back up to first half way through the first lap. I then led the rest of the race, winning by almost a lap. |
|
|
| Next up was my Mod Buggy Main. This was a very clean race, and again I led from start to finish, winning by a lap and a half. Finally was my mod truck main. Off the tone I quickly jumped into second, but by the end of the race I had dropped back to fourth. Overall it was a great race with lots of competition and excitement. |
