Florida State Off-Road Series 2008 | Round 1

As always, another great report coming from our friend, Gene “The Machine” Hickerson. Enjoy his report but sadly, he did not join the 1/8 Truck aka RC Truggy class for he surely has the chance of going hat-trick on the championship points. However knowing Gene as humble person, we think he made the right decision to let others get the hands on the truggy class he won for consecutive 2 years in a row. Good for you Gene :D

Gene The Machine Hickerson on RC Pro East Series final round at Phil Hurd Raceway

Thursday, October 4th, 2007 | 554 views

Gene “The Machine” Hickerson report on the final of 2007 RC Pro East Series that was held at Phil Hurd Raceway.

RC Pro East Series champions picture

The 3rd and final round of the 2007 RC Pro East Series was held last weekend in Savannah Georgia at Phil Hurd Raceway. It was a good turnout of about 140 entries as the best of the East battle for the title of RC Pro East Champion. The track was a good combination of fast sections and really slow sections with tons of small double jumps and 1 huge double jump in the middle. There was no place to make up any time on the layout, but many places where you could easily loose time; so the racing was very close as everyone had about the same lap times.
