801rcc 2014 Ultra4 R/C, Race #1 "Rock Rail Express"

801rcc 2014 Ultra4 R/C, Race #1 "Rock Rail Express"

Old man Winter has settled in and brought mother nature with him! 801rcc is no stranger to winter weather, and has proven that snowy and wet conditions are no threat to the Ultra4 crowd. This race will be the first race of 801rcc's Ultra4 Point Series. Black Rock has been known for carnage and chaos and should make a great venue to break in the series. Drivers will have to tune for the perfect balance. Speed, crawling, nerves, and luck, are just some of the recipe it takes to take home a win in Ultra4 racing. So come on out see if you have the right combination for victory
