Matt Olson wins 4WD Pro Truck at West Coast Nationals

The 10th Annual 5th scale West Coast Nationals were held at Good Ol’Boyz RC Club Raceway in Bakersfield, California last weekend. The track layout was super easy but also in a way very difficult as the speeds were high and racing was so close that it became a game of tenths of a second. In 4WD Pro Truck Brian Sullivan and Matthew Olson battled it out for the overall TQ with both being tied for TQ with two qual wins a piece. For tie breaker it came down to total time and Brian edged out Matt by four hundredths of a second. The 40-minute A-main event then saw Brian, Matt and also Josh Mitchell matching lap for lap so three trucks were running for the win. With a little luck Matt had a shot at the win come the 17th lap as he was able to make a clean inside pass and from there he never looked back to take the win some six seconds in front of Brian while Jason Sheerer came in 3rd to round out the podium.
