801rcc 2014 Ultra4 and Trail Event #11 "Silver State 600"

A battle is fought every month in Utah, sometimes near it's boarders, sometimes in it's mountains, other times in it's deserts. This Battle is not a fight against an enemy, but instead a fight against Mother Natures terrain. Her weapons take form in dirt, rock, weather, and time. Our weapons come in the form of R/C vehicles. Each vehicle an extension of it's driver. Mother Nature will try to slow you and even stop you if she can. It is up you to choose your weapon and plan of attack. But your biggest choice is..... will you make it to the finish line??

Wendover has turned out to be a great place to play with R/C's and Ultra4 racing should be a premium. Many of the members come out and spend the weekend with their wives and not only enjoy some great crawling but also some good food, fun gaming, and maybe even some drinks. With amenities only a mile away makes this spot a premium. Come on out and enjoy a day of racing, then run just down the road and enjoy the evening of fun at the casinos.

Had a blast!! The course was a tough one, and probably the most technical course to date. It was loaded with an insane amount of challenges for drivers to enjoy. The course had a number of climbs that you had to really watch your tire placement and slow crawl to make it clean. Of course drivers were also treated to horsepower hill, consisting of a long, loose dirt hill that buried a hand full of rigs. The list of fun lines is to much to post, those that were there know. Those that missed,... well you'll just have to come to the next one so you don't miss out. I hope everyone had a great time and we'll see you next month.

Scores from the weekend.
