Rise Rd 1 is complete

Because of the sketchy weather forecast we had to shoot from the hip and reschedule round 1 from Saturday May 14th to Friday the 13th. Friday's weather was beautiful and warm, which helped dry the track for our first real track time of the year.

The Rise RC crew has been cramped up all winter long doing everything but race rc. The time for round 1 finally came. We actually get to drive the rides we had been building all winter.

Practice started at six o'clock and most of had to remember how to start a a nitro buggy, then how to drive.

Seriously though, it was great to see all the smiling faces out at the track.

The mains ended about 3 AM.

A great night, a little bit late though:).

I will post here with a write up from the Rise RC team.

Rd 1 under way soon. Been at the track all day sweeping puddles and praying the water goes away. Thank goodness we had the guys come out Wednesday to pump 1600 gallons of water from the track!

Looking forward to the racing tonight!

2010 looking back

Looking back at 2010, our second year of operation, we can only be satisfied. We held the ROAR regionals, our own points series, and the only race in the Pacific Northwest with complete Manufacture support, the Hotbodies Challenge.

The year started rough because of the late season rain, which always causes us to scramble a bit. But the track crew nailed down two awesome layouts for the summer.

2011 is a new year and new season to enjoy RC. We look forward to progressing and building on our momentum of the past two years!

No more 1/10th 4 wheel for us.

HB no longer offers the D4. The Rise team campained it for a couple seasons. Sad to see it go. Sayonara!
