Hey guys, just wanted to post a few pics from the latest weekend on the track. I still havent got the vid edited up. I know, I'm a slacker :shrug: Anyway, it was a pretty damn good weekend of racing and bashing. Had the 2 of us out there saturday and 4 of us on Sunday. lots of good battles. My one buddy whose place it is was breaking in a brand new Picco 15 on his xxxnt, I had all four of my trucks running. Just some good stuff going on :) It started pouring down rain early Saturday afternoon so that pretty much killed our late afternoon running. However......That wasn't going to stop the Savage!!!! As soon as it slowed to a hard sprinkle, She was out there slopping it up! :smoke: Here's what she looked like afterwards...

Needless to say, I spent a LOT of time cleaning, drying, and oiling Saturday night.

Sunday ended up being perfect. The track was nice and moist at about 11:00 that morning when we got started and we ran all day long until dark Had a few pretty funny/damaging incidents too. Me and a buddy with the xterminator got tangled up and were kinda wrestling with the trucks. My Hyper came out on top. Drove away without a scratch. Here was what he suffered. Somehow his tire got ripped apart in the scuffle

Quick pit stop, and he was off again...

Next it was my turn to tear the crap out of something. And the Savage just happen to be up at bat. I was just screaming around our turn coming to the big 25 foot quad. Hit the jump, got a little off to the right and landed full force from about 10 foot of air straight down onto a post that was holding the siltfence up! Here's the aftermath...

Here are a few shots of the pit area we had setup. Not the purtiest, but it gave us lots of shade.
