The highlight of the second quarter was finishing 7th overall in the 4WD SCT division at the 10th Annual Pyscho Nitro Blast. I didn’t reach the podium but it was my best showing at a major/national caliber race. It helped jumped the second quarter and things have been going really well with podium finishes at all regional trophy races.

The only race I am behind submitting a race report on is the Stars and Stripes Race (7/8/2017). I took the TQ and Win with my 4WD SCT using Pro-Line M3 Blockades, and a Pro-Line Fusion body. It was the last race before a huge thunderstorm rolled in and rained out the other mains, Pro Nitro and Pro E-Buggy.
