This weekend team Everlee was out at the races again! This time, it was our first appearance at RCGears, where it was opening weekend, and a new track layout for the 2008 season.
The was a large turnout of all different classes of Nitro drivers for the event. This time both the drivers of Everlee competed in the Monster Truck class. At the event they race four qualifying rounds to determine your Main event and starting position. We did quite well in qualifiers with myself placing 1st in one round and Chris placing 5th in his fastest qualifiying round.
When it came to starting the 20 min A-Main event I was in the 5th starting position and Chris in 7th. As always the starting was mayhem, however I came out a head.. And in the lead my a LONG shot! I continued to lead the event threw 12 minutes, when my truck’s fail safe engaged… It engaged because I did not re-charge the pack so I had to drop out of the race.. Which hurt since I was in first.
While I was taking my Truck off the track, Chris came walking up as well. Unfortunately he blew a shock cap that caused his race day to end.
All in all, we had a great day and proved that we could drive with the best of them!
