Race Report by Tommy Hinz (XRAY) :

This past week I was able to attend the 2019 Reedy Race of Champions held at world famous OCRC Raceway. The track crew and shop once again outdid themselves on this historic event remembering the legend Mike Reedy. Wednesday was my travel/ open practice day. I left early morning and arrived at the track around noon time. I was able to line my bags up at the door and was first in line! I walked inside and was able to help with a few finishing touches for the event, and check out the track surface and layout. At 3pm the doors opened and we all scrambled in to set up our pits and anxiously get onto the green track. I went out for practice first with my XB219D and it felt pretty solid. As practice went on I threw my XB419 out for a test drive and she was ripping some fast laptimes from the start. We had open practice for 5 hours, 3pm-8pm. I ran my 4wd for 2 practice runs and felt it was on pace with setup to be fast. As the track progressed the front step on step off gained some character, and I needed to make a few changes to my 2wd to manage the jump better. After 4 practice runs with my 2wd I felt comfortable and was able to clean my cars and prep them for the seeding runs on Thursday. At 8pm at the conclusion of practice the open class got their handout tires and was able to mount them at the hotel that night. I also bought an extra set so I was prepared for later in the event.

Thank you, racers! The pre-entries for the 25th running of the Reedy Race have been concluded. It is truly unfortunate that we are not able to accommodate all the entrants who want to participate. But to provide a quality event with a reasonable time table, entries must be limited. The lottery entry list includes pre-qualified drivers who made the A mains last year, minimal sponsor exceptions, and the randomly drawn entrants, and is published here:

Race report by Ty Tessmann:

“This past weekend I race the Offroad Reedy Race of Champions, at OCRC in Huntington Beach, CA. The top drivers in the world are invited to participate in the Invite portion of the event which is comprised of 6 rounds of heads up racing for each 2WD and 4WD, your top 5 finishes from each class are counted for the combined total and that is how the winner is determined. The track layout was very challenging, there were 2 very demanding triples along a rythym section and a whoops section all these parts combined made it very hard to clean consistent laps. Everyone in the invite class was limited to 3 practice runs for each car.
