2008 G.L.O.R.C. Series Race @ Hardcore Raceway





So with the kid's first birthday this weekend, there was no racing for me. I did have a chance to sneak down to Hardcore Raceway (www.hardcoreracersrc.ca) who was hosting round 4 of the G.L.O.R.C. Series race to check out the qualifying action for a bit though on Saturday. I love that track. It is so well built and run. Really a pro operation. They layout looked really fun and makes me want to give Nitro a try..lol. Anyways, here are a few pics and videos I took from there.

Really nice set up, nice dirt, excellent construction, sprinkler system, elevated announcers booth, tons of space.

Sprucewood/Losi Team were all doing well out there as usual

The Triple

Sprucewood/Losi Team driver Abyie Birku was away but let Fastcats TC driver (and slowly turning to off road) J.B. Catricala use his Losi 8ight to try out Nitro Off Road. JB was looking good out there for his first time racing Nitro Buggy.

Backside double action

John Catricala from Fastcats was also on hand to do some guest announcing for the race. John is one of the best when it comes to calling the races. Here John (R) and Hardcore's Jay(L) check out some action.
