Pics from the Bash 2007 (~4mb)

Awesome pics man. Thanks for sharing. That's a really nice dirt track.

Very good pictures. Track looks so much fun as well. I heard someone got video... do you know who it was?

Great pics :) It was such an awesome time. Tons of great trucks, action, and a set of cool guys. They redid the track Fri afternoon for the wkend events, and it was killer. Very fast, big jumps, and very brutal. Lots of casualties too. :) Some of the mains got pretty sparse at the end. lol

FYI: That's me in the last pic in post #3 on the right, Arct1k on the left. Post #5, last pic, RtoL: Serum (Rene), Jhautz, Dafni (i think), then the tall guy a couple down is Smertzhog (Shaun) I believe. That Savage is Jaime's from Fast Lane Machine (he is FLM) and was a piece of artwork. Lots of other amazing trucks as well (including an army of Mike's craftwork.)

Nice thing about it too was everyone showed up to have a great time. There were some awesome, experienced drivers there, like RC Mike (of course), MacII, Batfish (Joe Y.), HnC (Walter), and several others (no offense if I left you off the mention) but then there were others (like myself) who were new to racing and just wanted to have fun and tear up a track. It was fun for everyone regardless of skill level and everyone was very welcoming.

Big hats off to RCMike for working so hard to put all this together for us and really personally driving so much of the BL community, can't thank him enough, Barnstormers for hosting such a cool event and doing such a great job w/ the track, and to all the other people here who work hard to develop, test, and share knowledge of the dark art of the BL conversion world. Hope to see all of you again (and even a few more) next year. Beware, I will be practicing... :)

There were several people taping. I got a few of the mains. The big one being the truggies and buggies. Shaun's friend (super nice guys) did me a favor and filmed me in the MT class main. Its mostly me looking ugly, but was a pretty good race w/ Jaime's savage, until I just crashed the triple too many times and got behind. Had a few issues, but I survived all the raced until the end and took 3rd in MT (tho of 3 at the end) and 2nd in BL open class. I mostly credit my wins to attrition (as the vids will show) and being able to keep the truck together for two days of brutal track action.

Here is the first of the vids (and the best.) Mains were 10mins, vids ran ~11, so had to cut into 2 parts to upload onto Youtube.

Be sure to visit YouTube to rate the vids and put them up on the charts. Spread the BL message to all :)

Nice... there must have been some serious carnage on that big air triple. The vid shows quite a few nasty landings... yard darts, even flat on the roof, LOL!!! The track looks like it was fun. Next time keep them dang gas cars shut off until your race is over. :) ha ha

I wish I could have been there, but the poor Gmaxx wouldnt have lasted a single lap with those jumps! That was some pretty nice driving going on .

That was so amazing--Will definately have to try to make this event next year. Congrats to all the guys that made the trip--looks like it was a blast. The track looked really good--The triple of death was killer:gasp:and the track looked in really good condition.

Who cares, I got a Gmaxx with plastic bulks and towers and i would've hit that. I nearly destroyed all my RC's trying to get a quad similar to that at our track

Good lord! Mike IS flying!!!

My shiny supermaxx would not like such a race.

I should get a good truggy.

It seems that Mike likes the 8IGHT T pretty much.

I might get that...

Great pics and awesome track!

Great video's!! Looks like such a fun track.

Great pics and vids. Thanks for posting. Wish I could have gone.

Cool pics, I have some and video also, just have to load them up! Big props to RC-M Mike and Barnstormers for hosting the event! I'll go again next year! Also, you guys see the big triple in the vids, I cleared it with my crt.5ext:yipi: and landed great too! I got it on video also:yes:.

Also, thanks to JHautz and others for parts to rebuild my revo before the 2nd qualifier! Hope to see you all next year!

Bye:mdr:

Also the Monster Truck Main:
Only Jaime of FLM and his awesome custom Savage X and I were the only ones left standing to rep the BL crowd in the Main. When you see our driving, you'll admit that's an accomplishment in itself, hehehe. We had a good battle going for a bit, but my setup was jacked (horrible steering and lousy dampening) and he pulled away on my constant wrecking on the trip. We had some pretty terrible marshalling too lol. :oops: One stinky nitro was left as well.

Bad marshalling? Zombies would have been better I reckon.... Some of those landings were really nasty, but the things just kept going!

Dude, that tripple is awesome! I wish we had that at our local track! Thanks for posting those videos.

Looks fun!

What power combo is Mike running in his 8ight-T?
