The RCR Spring Showdown (1/8th scale version) is in the books. Thanks to everyone that came out and thanks to everyone that helped make the race possible. Elijah Whiting Rodney Baker Jeff Eden Zachery Robert Zefo Ben Watkins Jared Evans Tyler Stoecker Stephen Kalb Daniel Forbes (sorry for any names im forgetting ) all had a part at getting this layout in. With the rainy weather we have had the past month we had 3 work days get rained out and we were still able to get most of the layout we wanted built. Id like to thank all the drivers for being patient in the mains with the marshals. Its always hard to get enough marshals with a low turnout, and so the 40+ guys and some older volunteers ended up having to marshal back to back to back and several racers waited extra time to get help more than once.
Thanks to Robert Sandeen and Leaned out for providing an awesome program and coverage.
Thanks to Jason and Mac from Jconcepts for providing the giveaway prizes.
Thanks to Amanda Lamparter for doing what you do for us!!
Unfortunately this layout will not be in very long as we will have a new layout for the 1st annual Zeb Gardner memorial race July 25th (unofficial roar warm up) and again for the roar region 5 championships August 7,8,9.
Lots of great racing in several classes today. The ebuggy class was the closest ive seen in awhile, Larry Wright had a dominant performance in the truggy classes and even the novice class was close for most of the race.
