Posted:
9/4/2006
 The competition was hot at Race Rock in Orlando Florida this past
Labor Day weekend and it was hot literally, even in the shade! There was no need
to warm up your truck, just set it out in the sun for a minute and it was ready
to go! There were about 40 R/C Monster trucks at the second race in our Chase
for the Championship points series sponsored by
Bear Foot and
Amsoil After
Shock Monster truck racing teams. There was a mix of new and old faces at
the drivers meeting. The Morgan family, newcomers from Melbourne Florida made
the drive and had a good showing. It was father against daughter in one race.
Check out Tim’s (the Father) hopped up Tundra Power Traxxas Sport Maxx in our
Truck gallery.
JC Espinet sponsored by XTM Racing created all new bodies for his trucks and
keeping with the monster truck theme renamed his trucks. No more NASCAR we now
have the Terminator, Iron Horse, Sabertooth, White Fang and Mammoth. Team
Syndicate unleashed their power monster trucks headed by Mike “The Hulk”
Herndon’s Incredible Hulk which took first in the Unlimited Truck Pulling class.
Steve Tash’s Byron sponsored Ford Thunder Losi LST took first in concourse.

photos of these awesome trucks!
Bari Musawwir's Losi LST Monster Mutt blasted past Biff Fowler’s Biffilious in
the Big Block finals to capture his second straight Big Block class win in the
Chase for the Championship points series. Bari also set a new track record with
a time of 7.15 seconds. Kaos driven by Dustin Kelly took top honors in the Tuff
Truck competition. Tommy Feichtel driving his Traxxas Grave Digger out dueled JC
Espinet’s White Fang to win the Small Block class. See the
video clips for race
highlights.

forward to seeing all of you on September 16-17 for our Summer Nationals hosted
