Motorama 2009 was fantastic.The track was awesome!The competition was hard as nails.Mike Battalie from Traxxas was on a rail.Steve Slayden from Traxxas had some bad luck in the A main.He is a hell of a great guy and answered many questions and helped wrench on my partners truck.I qualified 4th in the B main and ran 3rd for the first part of the race trying to grab the 1st or 2nd position to bump to the A main. I broke an A arm in a collision and limped it around for the last few laps to finish 6th in the B main. My partner finished 5th.Its a must attend event for all MT truck racers.Traxxas finished 1,2 and I think Losi finshed 3rd.

well, no pics of the other rides or the track or anything? get me all pumped up about harrisburg thinking i was going to see a bit of my homestate and some cool action....

This reminds me of a thread i read recently discussing the trx summit hype.

Your lead pic got me all excited about how this event was going to be summed up with cool pics maybe a vid...instead we got short summary paragraph.

cpt, i'd have loved to catch that, i missed the info on being available online. even if I had, I doubt the 8hour time diff between here and there would have let me catch it anyway....at least that's what i tell myself, cuz if i would have been able, this lame excuse for an internet connection would have probably cost me a broken(worse) computer. I'm glad you had a good time, sure, unless you walk out with first, it could always be better, but its sounds like it was a hell of a good time.

I agree with Racer, nice lid!

Thanks dude

Awesome set up. That had to be an awesome time. Now you have me thinking I need to and get the back ho and and start digging up my track again. We have some really "fun" obstacles on our track, but it's really not a great "race" track. It's more of a, let's see who can get around it without winding up on their roof sorta track. We have the space I really like some of the jump ideas they had, like the step down table top. I sorta have the same thing, just not as pretty. Be sure to check out the pics in my blog, or just go and look at the whole album. It's not much but it's perfect given our situation. Ok, not perfect, room for improvement but it's still fun.

:whhooo:Man, I first thank you for posting that, i enjoyed it more seeing here than if i'd have come accross it on youtube searching. Secondly though, I really could have done without seeing it. I hope i get over this urge to race before i get home or my wife's going to be ....uh, more than a little upset. That looked like an abosolute F'n blast! I didn't realize the lines in the corners were buried poles. Glad I'm not the only sadistic sob building tracks. Now i'm all fired up to make mine better. I'm off the flight schedule tomorrow and I'm going to get the loader and see what I can do. I know my cav crazy tires are going bye bye...well at least located somewhere off the main track, to much damage already to be part of the track. I'll hopefully have time to post it to my blog tomorrow night with fresh pics.
