Jeremy Kortz wins Milestone SC race

Pro-Line are reporting that they headed out to Milestone MX Park two weeks ago for some Short Course action as Joey Christensen from the Dirt Racing had planned another great event. This was the first time the team would debut the Bow-Fighter SC thread design, which proved to work very well under track conditions. Louis Flood of Evolution Sports TQ’d the stock class using the new Bow-Fighter SC and after an early lead in the main mechanical troubles would put him out of contention for a podium position. The 2WD Open class would see David Orner take TQ all three rounds with Hole Shot SC front and rear, eventually taking second due to a late crash in the main. In the 4WD class, the top three used Pro-Line Hole Shot SC all the way with Jeremy Kortz taking the win on Hole Shot SC, Chad Bradley finishing second and Pro-Line’s own Gerardo Gonzalez taking third.

2010 Rocky Mountain Short Course Championship

The 2010 Rocky Mountain Short Course Championship was held at the Sweetwater RC Raceway Park in Rock Springs, Wyoming August 13th – 15th. Friday’s open practice had drivers from Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Idaho putting in laps on both the 1/10 short course track and the 1/8 track just to get any advantage they could. The short course track had massive amounts of traction due to the sugared surface, while the 1/8 track was technical with big air jumps, both tracks were tricky. Saturday started off with four rounds of qualifying on both tracks with TQ being swapped back and fourth among many drivers in all classes. At the end of the day the top positions were locked in, with 2wd SCT Stock, 4wd SCT Open, and 1/8 Electric Buggy TQ going to DJ Clark of Wyoming, 2wd SCT Open TQ went to Jared Hair of Utah, and finally 1/8 Buggy and 1/8 Truck TQ was held by Chris Peralta of Colorado.

Brian Wynn wins Stock at SC Nationals

CRC factory driver Brian Wynn took his CRC/Losi XXX-T Short Course conversion kit to an A-main victory at the recent Short Course Nationals hosted by R/C Madness in Enfield, CT. Competing in national competition for the first time, Brian’s Losi XXX-T truck, converted to Short Course with the CRC conversion kit, easily dominated the A-main with a 5 second gap to second place. With over 230 entries, the Short Course Nationals in Connecticut proved to be a tough test of handling, power and driving. This event would mark the debut of the CRC Short Course Conversion for the Losi XXX-T. The CRC Losi XXX-T SC truck handled extremely well on the tricky dry offroad circuit at RC Madness. Brian led every lap and won by 5 seconds, even though he stopped twice on the last lap to avoid any contact with a back marker.
