The 2018 Mugen Challenge at LCRC Raceway was a blast with 350 entries. We did a clinic on Thursday, dirt oval racing on Thursday night, off-road practice on Friday, qualifying Saturday, main events and a long jump on Sunday. On Monday we visited The Track in Gaithersburg, Maryland on our way to the airport.

I was the top qualifier in Nitro Buggy, Nitro Truck and Dirt Oval. I took the Win in Nitro Truck and Dirt oval. I finished second in Nitro Buggy after running out of fuel and also finished second in Electric Buggy. Next week I’m off to Brazil for the Brazilian Nationals.
