HPI Sponsored event....G2R takes em all...

Hey all,
Its been a blast here on Okinawa with my G2R....Last month there was an HPI sponsored Monster Truck event held here...There were 4 events, each event was scored by points and in the end the most points won...Sorta like an olympics....
Events were as follows:
1- Concourse & Customization (best looking and most customized 1st through 5th place points awarded)
2- Monster Drag ( 2 runs in each heat....A down and back format...1st through 5th points awarded for each run)
3- Obstacle Course ( 2 runs each heat....Down and back over various obstacles, 1st through 5th points awarded for each run)
4- Extreme Jump Competition ( 2 runs to anyone who had the balls to do it, 3 judge panel scoring max 20 points from each judge held up by a sign)

What made this unique was that for event number 2 and 3 we had to drive our trucks into a box at the finish line, each box was numbered 1 through 5...
Whichever box you made it into was what place you got for your run...If we did not make it all the way into a box our trucks were reset and we had to try and get in again....If somebody snuck in on you, you had to find another box....it made it interesting to say the least....

3 Japanese R/C magz covered the event...R/C Sports, R/C Magazine, and R/C World.....
Here are some scans from R/C Sports Magazine....
