On 10/24/15 I attended the annual Halloween Race at LCRC in Oakland Mills, PA. The event is always popular and this year did not disappoint with over 190 entries. I ran both Nitro Buggy and Nitro Truggy.
In Nitro Buggy, I ran the Type-R Body on my D815 with M4 LockDowns in Q1 with the standard Black Trifecta Wing and qualified 4th overall. During Q2, I decided to try M3 Hole Shot 2.0s with the Trifecta Lexan Wing but felt either the soft compound or less weight over the rear reduced rear traction compared to the M4 LockDowns and ended up qualifying 7th after Q2 going into the Mains. For Truggy, I felt consistent all day with M3 Hole Shots and the Bulldog Body and qualified 4th overall going into the mains.
For the Mains the sun had gone down and the moisture started coming up so tires were a guessing game going into the Nitro Buggy Main.
I decided to stick with the M4 LockDowns as the temps were very low and the track was somewhat moist.
After starting 7th and going wide to avoid a pile up in turn one I fell back a few places at the start but was able to battle back to finish 6th over all.
Nitro Truggy was only two races later but it had already started drizzling, with the moist track I decided to switch to a M3 Suppressor which felt great during the warm up laps, unfortunately a few minutes into the race it began to rain hard and since we did not complete more than half of the race our qualifying positions were used as the final results so I finished 4th overall.
Another great event at LCRC. Big thanks to Kevin and Christa for hosting us and putting on another spectacular event and with an epic layout.
Thanks to all of my sponsors for a great 2015 Nitro season.
