round #1 of the morl series

[Evil3]

Just a few pic's from a race that I went to over the weekend (I didn't take any of the pic's). We didn't get done racing until after midnight (we race under the lights). The series is of the MORL series http://www.midwestoffroad.org/

(my truck is #4, and I painted it. The other one was painted by another painter and was also the one driving the car (Darkside Designs)

It was a lot of fun, and both of my cars were dialed in. In the 4wd mod class I had some bad luck, but I could have made the A-main although it wouldn't have mannered as the ESC went out. :( With the truck I didn't run any pratice laps on friday or the day of the event due to rain so my pratice for the day with the truck was in the first round of heats. I think if I had more track time I could have made the A-main (the guy that got TQ was only about .4sec or 4 tenths faster based on our fastest laps). The racing was really close, and I still had a blast out there and with 200+ entries it made for a long day. Also that series is an electric only series.

so it looks pretty flat was it just electric? still looks like fun

Yes it was electric only, which is the way that series has been for years. The track was flat if you compare it to a 8th scale sytle track, but really some of the jumps were quite big, but with the way the pic's are it makes them look smaller. Also you had to drive the track, as if you just point and shoot then you would be really slow around the track. That also ment there was some really slow sections in the "s" turns.

Nitro; it was a blast, and is one of 5 races in the series that I get to play on.

Also here are a few vids from that weekend.
