Jackson Andres takes back-to-back NCT title

Round 6 of the Northwest Championship Tour was held in Yakima last weekend. It was the final round of the largest outdoor RC series in the Pacific Northwest, with approximately 300 entries per round. In 4WD Modified Buggy Jackson Andres (Yokomo) was able to TQ the final round. However he and his team unfortunately didn’t have the car set up quite right for the wet mains, so he finished just off of the podium this race. That being said, Jackson was able to capture the overall series title for 4WD, and repeat as champion in back to back years. Joe Cathey (Serpent) came in 2nd overall from Robert Sorjonen (Xray) in 3rd.
