Thanks for checking out our vids.

I think that was an X-Factory rig winning in Mod Buggy too. Will need to verify.

Great vids, thanks for posting them. I was watching the short course A main one yesterday, some nice close racing going on. Terrific venue too.

Pheasant Runn is one our favorites. OK, I admit, all the tracks we visit are our favorite.

In looking above, I see that I forgot to post the Stateline Race action:

http://blog.handyracing.com/2009/07/30/midwest-offroad-racing-league-2009--stateline-race-action.aspx

(The Jones race footage is lost on the editing room floor, we keep hoping it comes back)

Last race of the season is next week from Battle Front Gaming in Grand Rapids, stay tuned for more...

The last race of the Midwest Offroad Racing League is in the record books.

And it was a blast. Chad's one of a kind home made Academy Short Course truck dominated most of the the Short Course A-Main, only to fall back in the last minute with an unlucky break.



Then the carnage ripped the track to pieces in the 1/8 electric A-Main...



Check out the action here < that is a link

including track review and A-Main video

Fantastic stuff, gotta love the short course trucks and slash class. From the start tone all you could hear was crashing lexan with the slashes

Can't believe how much the 8th electrics tore up the track on the start.

Thanks for posting these race meetings, great vids.

Thanks. Yeah, that race spurred a LOT of discussion.

I really loved the #13 SCT, it just flew. Had his battery not dumped in the end I dont think anyone could have touched him.
