I wanna be Dave
Well, well, well. Did the '09 Axial West Coast Championships live up to its name? We had returning champions, AWCC virgins, and a whole list of who's who trying to put their name atop the podium.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

Saturday started w/ a highly excited host, I, giving a drivers meeting that was rated "R" and luckily my bull horn is not registered by the FCC or I would be in jail. To those sensitive ears that I made wince due to my colorful language, I apologize and am currently participating in a mouth washing seminar. <?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" oreferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:formulas><vath o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></vath><o:lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"></o:lock></v:shapetype><v:shape style="WIDTH: 18.75pt; HEIGHT: 13.5pt" id=_x0000_i1025 alt="0" type="#_x0000_t75"><v:imagedata o:href="http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/images/smilies/thumb.gif" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\Hacksaw\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image001.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape><o></o>
After drivers meeting, it was time to "DO WORK". Let me tell you, I watched some of the best driving ever! Pros laying the smack down on courses designed to test skill, rig, and mental sanity. Everyone embraced the water, mud, and sand; oh yeah, there was rock. How much rock? A Sh!t load. (Oops, more Dawn, please). The rock at Donner is priceless; a true r/c rock crawler’s wet dream.<o></o>
Each course had a theme. The theme was "Fun"! Fun to watch, fun to drive, and fun to judge. Yes the lines were long, but worth the wait. 4 courses of pure pleasure and nothing else to do all day but crawl, thank goodness we have a lot of sunshine. I personally can't think of a better way to spend a weekend w/ great people crawlin' on some of the best rock in the nation.<o></o>
KING BLING and myself, DRIVNMF, would personally like to thank you, all of the drivers, who keep making this event a huge success and a "must attend" comp in everyone’s list. We would also like to thank the sponsors. First and foremost, AXIALRACING.COM. Their dedication to r/c rock crawling is immeasurable. PROLINE, enough said, but I'll go on. What a great company w/ great products. NOVAK. Let’s just say, electronics second to none. CKRCCRAWLERS.COM really does define "Talks the talk and Walks the walk"! Futaba, JConcepts, DNA-RC, Tekin, and RC4WD thank you for your support. HOT BODIES RC, Thank you! <o></o>
A special Thank You, to RCCRAWLER.COM and RCSHORTCOURSE.COM for the absolute best web-cast coverage of any r/c big event. Jason and Badger, displayed an award winning performance. Not to mention, Jason was signed up to drive and withdrew so that a driver who had his Jeep stolen with his crawler in it could compete. This is why I am so passionate in bringing the best comp experience to every driver who attends the AXIAL WEST COAST CHAMPIONSHIPS. It's hard to find such a great group of people who really want to take care of each other.<o></o>
Speaking of great people, the Judges worked hard for two days and then drove what was left of their tails off. Thank you Jason G., SuperDave, Ryan G., Stuart G., Thom K., Willie D., Tim L., Cassie J., and all the volunteers that helped out, Bob T., Sh-No, and all the random "drivers" that I called upon for crowd control. A HUGE thanks goes out to the scorekeeper Mike B. He worked in the "Tent of Torture". It was a sauna in that tent and every time Mike came by for score sheets, he looked thinner and thinner.<o></o>
One more Thank You, to the first ever AWCC trophy girl.<o></o>
I can't wait for 2010. In it to win it in 2010! See everyone at Donner.<o></o>
