International Offroad Carpet Championship – Report

The 2019 International Offroad Carpet Championship was held at 702 RC Raceway in Las Vegas, Nevada this past weekend. The event took place back-to-back with the International Indoor Championships the week before and adding some nice obstacles converted the indoor on-road track into a challenging off-road circuit. At this year’s IOCC, it seemed to be Broc Champlin’s weekend with his 4WD car throwing down some of the only 18-lap runs of the event. In the A1 of 4WD Mod Buggy, Broc would finish a full lap ahead of his brother Blake to take the first win. It wouldn’t be so easy in the second main. As the two were slicing and dicing through traffic, Blake had to the goods to make the pass on his brother if only his brother left an opening. Excellent defensive driving would earn Broc a second win and over all win.
