I wanted to post the results from Saturdays event but decided not to because I was not going to be able to post Sundays results since we had to leave early to get Dean home before he turned into a pumpkin. Brian and I thought it would be better to have all the results posted by one person (him).

Jake Hallenbeck from CKRC had a big lead after Saturday, and everyone had a lot of ground to make up. Austin was 3rd after day one, and I was in 5th. We were both on fire Sunday, and were trading low scores all day.

Austin timed out in a brutally tough course #8, where I managed to pull of a clean 5pt. run. With the pressure on, Austin finished course #6 (by far the hardest course all weekend IMO) with an amazing score of 2 points

It was an incredible run to watch, and Austin fully earned the win.

Congrats man! See ya at the Nationals

rbgerrish · 06-30-2008, 12:42 PM

Timing out was a common occurance- the course were LONG! Mostly 7-9 gates and all only 5 minutes, and they were pretty hard too! You had to make great time to have a chance on many of them... They were prefect technical difficulty though in my opinion, but I don't like being that rushed. ;)

Rockpiledriver · 06-30-2008, 01:01 PM

The results are being done now. As Badger said internet access from the location is pretty much non-existant. I will try to get the totals up asap.

EeePee · 06-30-2008, 01:40 PM

Austin is a monster! Incredible man! Unreal.

Congratulations all you guys.

Thanks for that guys, sounds like some exciting action.

Congrats on the 2nd place finish Jake.

darkstar · 06-30-2008, 02:44 PM

Brian falling threw the box was a 'Mastercard - Priceless' Moment! Glad you caught that one Badger!

Scott Hughes · 06-30-2008, 02:45 PM

Thank you Badger for all the coverage you provided, especially with the lack of service for the latest techno gadgets at the lake. It did feel like we were far away from civilization.

To Austin, Brad and Jake, awesome job! You guys were amazing to watch.

To the CKRC team, thank you for all your support, enthusiasm, and being a part of our event throughout the weekend.

To all the judges and staff: Amy, John, Brian, Eric, Kenn, Scott, David, John, Jeff, Bob, Scotty, Jennifer, and Nate thank you for all your exhausting work each day.

To RCP and Brian, I'm glad we did this event. Great courses and can't wait to start working on an 09 event.

To all the sponsors, thank you for your generous donations in such a short amount of time. Your backing of this event meant a lot and we hope that we did the sponsorships justice and can have the opportunity to work with you in 09.

And finally, to all those drivers that showed-up in such a short amount of time after announcing the event, thank you! A rough economy, high gas prices, and an added event to the schedule are tough to prepare for. Without your participation there would have been no event. I'm not sure at this time what the official tally was but my best guess is 95 entries. Simple amazing.

All the best,
Scott Hughes

badger · 06-30-2008, 02:56 PM

Brian and Scott put on a great event! It was very well organized, a perfect location, staff that did a great job and courses that were both very challenging and extremely fun to drive. I'm looking forward to next years event. Thanks for all the hard work from everyone involved!

Unfortunately I did not have time to drive the courses on Sunday and cannot give you first hand descriptions, so I took more pictures of the courses to give you a visual description of the clever layout and challenging obstacles.

Course 6 "Axial"

Course 7 "Novak"

Course 8 "Tamiya"

Course 9 "X RC Cars magazine"

Course 10 "RC Car Action"

WCCC base camp

Brad "doing work"

Course 7 on the left

Course 6 over looking WCCC base camp
