Day 1 - CRCRC Midwest Championships







Well, quick update on CRCRC's Mid West Championships.

Me Mike and Steve left my house around 5:30am or so. Took us 7 hours to get here. It would have been at least an hour quicker, but we stopped at the good 'ol Waffle House for some breakfast (and some fabulous people watching). Back on the road, we were on a TQ run to get to Columbus when Steve managed to attract the attention of Ohio's finest to the tune of 86mph in a 65mph zone. Finally at CRCRC around 2pm we walked into the place and saw the HUGE track with a HUGE triple. You had to look up to see the cars in the air clearing it! Check out the video, especially the first car going over....makes Sid's big jump look like a pimple. Setting up is harder than expected and we have all broken parts already. The track is really too big for 1 1/0th scale and you actually loose sight of your car in a couple of sections. We are going to hit up Walmart for a few step stools to stand on the get a couple feet higher. Most of the A/E, Hot bodies and KyoshoFactory guys are here already. Tebo looking pretty comfortable out there. Seems to be a slick tire track and there is gobs of traction. I am running an Orion Vortex 6.5 in my 2WD and a 5.5 in the 4wd geared pretty solid. Well, that's going to be it for now as we have been up for 15 hours now. I'll take more videos and pics tomorrow when everyone is settled in.
