ROCCK Racing TN state Championship was this weekend. We has a record turnout and a great time. With a brand new layout it was a level playing field for all. I didn't get much practice on it Friday either dealing with the track flooding etc. But man, what a fun layout. I decided since I won intermediate last yr in this race I'd run pro this yr and see where I stacked up against some of the best. I ran all nitro with buggy and truggy for this event.

In buggy my D819rs was amazing. And looked amazing too thanks to drc graphics. Probably the best car I've ever drove. And I drove ,maybe not my best, but pretty well tbh. But with that many heavy hitters in the field I'd start p2 in the b main behind Coty Ingram. After getting absolutely dumped on the start I'd manage to come back up but fall just short of the bump ending my day for that class. But that I did allow me to watch Jonah and Joey battle it out Sunday so I wasn't too upset. Both those guys are ridiculous wheel men.

In Nitro truggy my D8T evo was on rails as well.The ptm tuned blackout motor provided the horses and the jconcepts relapse put it tonthe dirt.In qls I made 2 bobbles taking me from 2cd to 12th in a heart beat. That's some tight racing! I'd start p12 in the A.
The start went well and I'd make my way up to 2cd then clip a pipe and roll it resulting in a unexpected flame out. My pit man Chris Dabeard moves suprisingly quick for a old man😜 and had me back on the track with a quickness. So I put my head down and got to work making up alot of ground and the following pit stops in the 30min main was lightning fast. We'd manage to slide into the podium in 4th!!

All in all it was a long 3 day weekend but what a blast!! My goal coming in was just to make a amain with such a stacked field in pro and to see where I stacked up on an even playing field. At the end of the day I'm happy with the results and learned alot. Next big race will be PNB!! Let's Gooo!!

Thank you to my sponsors for helping to make fun weekends like this possible!

ETRC points series race 3

This race was at the home track ROCCK Racing. Im running pro ebuggy and pro etruggy for this points series.

In Etruggy, the HB E8T EVO has been solid all yr bringing me into this race leading the points, but not by much! Fortunately things went pretty smooth. I put in two solid runs with the HB E8t EVO for the qls and took the TQ spot. In the A main it was clear quick Jacob Schubert found some speed after ql2 and was on a mission. After a cpl bobbles and things shaking out I pulled a small gap from the field and focused on consistency. But lap after lap he chewed that gap down and caught up. Time to TURN UP THE HEAT! Next couple of laps where Heaters from both of us and great racing but I'd come out on top of this one taking the WIN moto style with a big Etruggy whip! !
I ran silver jconcepts Relapses for the first time and they where great all day.

In Ebuggy the E819rs Worlds Spec continues to impress me. Car had speed all day but the driver is still learning the new setup.
I ran silver relapses in ql1, gold ellipse in ql 2, and back to the silvers for the main. Made alot of changes to the setup through the day struggled with dialing in the right amount of grip to be fast but not twitchy all day on a dry grippy bumpy surface. Theirs still alot to learn on rc setup game but this weekend highlighted a cpl key things for me.
After a cpl of rough ql runs I'd start 6th in the A main. Smack in the middle of the field. Trying to just stay clean and on pace the first lap I shot myself in the foot and shorted a triple taking the caboose spot. But the car was fast! I'd make a run back toward the front but kept catching bumps and took a cpl good full speed tumbles. Those kind of crashes that last for an eternity. But the HB was rock solid and didn't flinch. Between the crashes the car was a rocket and would land me 3rd overall. Drcgraphics had it looking like a winner at least! Congrats to Matt and Ryan for their 1,2 finishes!

Catch me at ROCCK Friday night lights this weekend!!

Thanks to my sponsors for making some of the best products in the sport and helping make the fun times at the track possible!

This Weekend was the annual Disco Brawl race @ ROCCK Racing. There was disco music, a disco ball, nitro in the air and tough competition on the stand. Fun was had! Brad Collins and Jacob Ruble ran a timely program and kept it interesting on the mic.

I ran Pro Ebuggy and Pro Etruggy to keep it simple. Now you'd think being that I run rocck regularly I'd be swinging outta the gate, NOPE. Lol Not how that went. I Rode the struggle bus in buggy q1, the disco theme spread and the car danced all over the track. So I Changed up the shock package for ql 2, the car came alive and was dialed.... Driver however was a space cadet and never switched the ol sanwa off the truggy model that was ran 10 minutes ago.🤦😄 After spending a good portion of that run adjusting the brakes and trim I clawed back up a little to roll off for the main on the 6th spot. It was a back and forth race with Chandler Setzer for 2cd. He would come out on top from the tie breaker landing me in 3rd overall with Jonah Wilson taking the win.

In Etruggy the HbE8t Evo was dialed out of the gate and bone headed decisions where limited. Again battling with Chandler all day swapping hot laps and wins Id come out on top of this one with the TQ and overall Win!

It was a fun ,be it a little cold, weekend and can't wait for the next one. Unfurtunately, I won't be making Sic but am going to head up the Rc arena in KY. See yall there!

Thanks to my sponsors below. Hb racing for making awesome race cars and allowing me to represent them! N2rc for the trackside support! And drc graphics for making toy cars and toy car accessories look badass!

This weekend was the first race of the 5 month ETRC championship series and the first race as a 2023 HB Racing Team Driver.
I choose to run only Pro Ebuggy and Pro Etruggy for this series since half of the series will take place at the home track ROOCK racing and only running two classes allows time for other obligations as club president.

In Pro Ebuggy My Hb E819rs was dialed as usual. However I'd break in ql1 while figuring out I was on the wrong tire. lol So I switched to JConcepts silver rehabs for ql2 and after a back and forth battle on the clock would just Sqeak out Coty Ingram for the win putting me starting P2 in front of Coty and behind Jonah Wilson.
Start was smooth up to the second corner where I got took out. Since the marshall couldn't get to me with a full field in tow I'd take the 1st lap in last. Not my best run either way and I'd take an 8th place finish to some very fast competition.
In Etruggy, My Hb E8t was on rails and just plain fun to drive.I would sweep q1,q2, and take home the win with some fun battles with Weston and Fred. I ran JConcepts Gold ellipse in the main.

This weekend we went to The Wicked Weekend in Gainesville, GA. I ran sportsman ebuggy and nitro truggy.
In Ebuggy the hb Racing E819rs was fast all weekend once we found some tires that that worked. I didnt have reflexes with me and the mobile hobbyshops didnt either but the teasers worked well enough. I had a bad round 1 ql thanks to a pile up in turn 1 but would make it up in ql 2 and 3 to secure a spot in the A main. Starting 11th to first turn pile up was unavoidable again. I would still manage to race back to 7th after leaving the pile up dead last. I was on pace with the top 3 and since the top 5 would have been mid pack A main in the intermediate class overall times I'll take it. Wasn't the finish I'd hoped for but at least it looked good coming back through the pack with the drc graphix paint job!

In Nitro truggy the truck was hit or miss all weekend. I'd qualify pretty good and start p3 in the Amain.

The 1st turn gremlin struck yet again and again would leave me 12th on lap 1. I raced back up to fifth when after a first pit stop the truck flamed out leaving pit lane. So I tried to push it to catch back up and just overdrove the available grip in the setup. After another rough fuel stop I started putting my head back down I'd drive up to finish 7th.

Not the results we wanted for the weekend but we still had a good time and learned a ton. We had the speed just not the luck. We will work hard on the things to improve on and be back next time with a vengeance.

Congrats to all the Rocck guys for having a strong showing this weekend and thanks to my sponsors and everyone that makes this hobby a fun time!

Come race Roock's brand new layout with us this Friday/Saturday. All day practice Friday followed by a full day of racing Saturday. Designed by yours truly and built by Bobby Moore with Rctrackmasters. I may be biased but this may be my favorite roock layout yet. Either way it's one fun track to drive.

Off week so decided to go to Crossville,TN and run the RcFarm. It's a small very technical track and was my first time on a track anything like that. Racing was tight, extremely difficult to pass was overall a good time. Greg Rupe runs a good program there the show flowed smoothly.

I ran my always fresh looking Drcdesign painted,hobbywing powered HB E819rs on a protec shorty 6k pack in Pro ebuggy , and My hobbywing powered Tekno ET48 2.0 with a Gens Ace 7.5k pack in Pro truggy. I also ran spec slash for giggles and to help build support for the class.

In ebuggy, Brian Looper made it a fun battle in quals but I'd manage to squeak out the TQ. For the feature I decided to run silver jconcept rehabs which would prove not to be a little to firm for the track conditions. Slid out in the first corner, hit a double wrong and got stuck on a pipe stake. As the tires built temp I'd battle back through the field to 2cd but Brian was too far out. I'd finish 2cd.

In Pro Truggy, I struggled to find a tire that hooked up again. The qls where sloppy and I'd start mid field for the mains. Ebuggy and truggy was back to back so having just ran the silvers with no time to swap I knew I had my work cut out with the Jetco Lesnars. I ran a pretty clean race and would pull off a 2cd place finish to the fast hometown hero Bradley Rupe.

Overall it was a fun time and a much different track then anything I've ran to date. Can't wait to run their outdoor track in July. Congrats to Brian and Bradley on their wins and look foward to battling you guys in the future!
