Hey Guys,

Sorry for the radio silence, I was swamped with work and prepping for NENQ.

Some answers first. The next comp is going to be at Hammond Pong in Brookline MA. I will be putting a new thread up about it soon. I was hoping to get time to scout a sweet new spot we may have found but i wouldn't be able to get there until next week and I don't want to jeep you hanging.

Troy got some put up on youtube already here. I have some GoPro footage that has not been added yet, see excuse above.

As for the comp and the results.

We had a great turnout for this event, 20 trucks between the Pro and Shafty class. Those who were able to make it down, from Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania :shock: all got a chance to check out where this years Nationals is going to be held.

We built three classes for each event. We made use of one peninsula for Pro Course 1 and Shafty Courses 1 and 2. Then we moved to another peninsula for Pro courses 2 and 3 and shafty 3. We were really able to make use of the vast amount of rock at each of these spots with these 6 courses. The roch here ranges from small featured super grip, to smooth as "expletive deleted" quartz veins, to razor sharp rock that you cant hep but put hero gates on.

With so many drivers there were bound to be a few upsets, just look at the score sheet below. In the end Bob (RICrawler) edged out our visitor from PA to take the win in Pro but Troy was not going to go down without a fight and Owned the Shafty Class.

Thanks to our sponsors Bob earner himself a Castle Creations Sidewinder and T-Shirt and a CowRC work mat. Troy grabbed some good loot for his shafty win too, a CowRC work mat, castle creations BEC, and Castle noodle wire.

Bob Wins Pro

Troy Wins Shafty

They look so happy together
