Headed back west after a successful week at the 1:10th ROAR Carpet Offroad Nationals. The event was hosted by Maximus RC Raceway in Seabrook, New Hampshire.

It was certainly the toughest carpet racing weekend for me in quite some time. Lots of wrenching, lots of big steps back and baby steps forward, but by the end, things were coming back around. I feel like I sort of found my footing in 2wd but lost out on the podium in the last main to a tie breaker. I made a setup tweak to attempt for an even higher finishing position but it just didn’t work out well. It was a good learning experience. Congrats to Chase on his first title.

As for the 4wd division, I’d go on to win what’s now my 6th national title. All week long I was trying stuff with the car and not running what was comfortable for me but come main time, I had the car back how I liked it and that showed. I lined up 3rd for the mains on Sunday. A1, the leader gapped out while I was trying to get into 2nd, I got there and just ran out of time. A2, the battle between the front runners heated up, I made a good pass and then got into the lead after a mistake from the leader. A3, I got to 2nd quite quickly but wasn’t driving my best, made a mistake and then everything came together. I was shredding and came from a ways back, stuck a pass, and won.

I can’t thank my sponsors enough for their continuous support and ongoing passion for not just my program but the industry as a whole. I truly have the best sponsors giving me the best equipment for each and every event.

I always hold the losses greater than the wins so I’m still a bit bummed out. The cool thing is, I race again this week at the April Fools Classic @ Rocky Mountain RC Raceway and then I’m back on carpet the following week @ RC ONE for the INS. Im really looking forward to these races. Back to work.
