3rd Annual Curtis Bautista Jr. R/C Tough Truck Challenge Results UPDATED
Saturday night started off with a few laughs and stories. We fed our faces with some awsome potlock food provided by everyone that entered the night 1.9 comp. With the G6 in a box opened the bautista's along with jason carter setup a short and sweet 2 lap 50 gate course, with a single file start to a bottle neck Gate 1 in and around the hulacross track at Kalaeloa Raceway Park, with a few simple rules NO HANDS OF GOD & NO WINCHING.
After the dust / motors burning smells settled, it came out to a drag race the last 10 gates with travis & erik. Watching them go at it bumper to bumper was a site to see, but erik fell alittle short handleing the win to travis. Not only did travis finish first, but as a true sportman he went back into the track to help out anyone that needed help to recover.
As the night went on making new memories with old and new friends causing only about an hour of sleep me and jason was back at it at 530am setting up for 3rd Annual Curtis Bautista Jr. R/C Tough Truck Challenge. It's a five course set uo with a sled pull / tank trap / mud bog / hill climb / obstacle course using there 1.9's & 2.2's where drivers had meneuver their trucks through the tough mud / rocks/ logs section. After all the broken parts at the end of the day each course had different winners. But the overall winner was sheldon that took home the top prize for 3 straight years in both classes.
For all the work I put into this, I've been into r/c crawling since 2007, and this is the first time we had with (21) 1.9's and (14) 2.2's that's 35 total truck that entered with 60-70 PEOPLE AT THE EVENT!! That's unheard of for a r/c crawling event in hawaii.
I would like to thank sheldon / kila / jeff / jason for stepping in to help out and make this event possible while the bautista's tend to a family issue. Thanks nate (freedom riding)for taking video, can't wait to see it. Bronson from JP Customs RC's / John Thornton from RC4WD / Hobbitat for the prize giveaways. Kalaeloa raceway Park / 213 Speed Garage / Paradise Lua for hosting the event. But most importantly YOU for coming out and celebrating with us to honor the life of Curtis Bautista Jr.
See you all at our next year's event & future events. Aloha
