Wagonhill Hobbies, Butler, Pennsylvania. 1:10 electric 2WD buggy, truck. Includes Jason Ruona, Mark Pavidis, Curtis Husting, Mike Reedy, Greg Hodapp, Brian Kinwald, Scott Hughes.
Loved this race. Remember when Kinwald brought out the XX4 2 weeks before during the warm up race and everyone lost their mind. It was still in the R&D stages back then.
This was an interesting race because the track surface was a lot different than what the California drivers were used to. The locals knew what tire to use and it took a couple days for the west coast drivers to realize that Losi step pins worked on this cracked surface. Hughes would have won on points if it wasn't for Hodapp's hacking, as seen near the end of this race.

I still remember the crowd of people around the track the first time he drove it
One of the only Pro level races I have seen where a non-sponsored local driver not only TQ's but wins the A-main. Pretty much unheard of today.

I was there watching this in person when I was 14 yrs old.
So much difference between this and racing today.
Only complaint is I wish that wasnt packed so hard that it cracks. Miss seeing those awesome rooster tails and loose track conditions.
Fantastic !!
I remember it like it was yesterday....
Our memories have this strange ability to collapse time! Thank you for posting.
