Oh man! Willow is a great race, no bs, roll in anytime on Friday, test and tune till dark, camp both nites. These guy's run an awesome event.
It was really fun to finally meet Nitroking, we hung out and he helped tune the sleds, and get us to the line.
Congrats to OBJ, and his crew, they won the 2 biggest and toughest classes - D Stock, and 440 Modified Fan. Bubbanose and Al won the 71 and older, and either took first or placed in a bunch of other classes. The Nelson crew was tougher than hell as usual, and they were in all sorts of finals, and took first place in at least one class.
There was at least 5 or 6 all Scorpion race teams there, maybe 50 Scorps total.
The E Stock final was all Scorpion. D Stock final had 2 Scorps and 2 Mercs, those damm Mercs are fast, but Scorp is still king on the grass!
My polished up 400 Sting still has not come full circle, and it did not make it to any finals. The 75 Super Stinger ( Rusty Racer ) worked good. There is something about those tunnel mount Stingers, they work great on the grass.
Thanks again Nitro man, we had a great time!

obj1,I talked with your wife throughout the races,she said this was the first race event you had entered?  I usually don't go to the races,so I guess I don't know when the season started. If it was,it isn't the way you want to start the short season.Anyway,ALL the Scorps looked great!! |

yes your right nitro tough way to start with a accident. however, no one was hurt and the sled can always be fixed. havent decided what to do yet as far as fixing it, selling it or just letting it sit for a while. all in all it was a great day for the scorpions. total domination in G,H,E,F,D and a 4th place in "C". Also 71 and older stock and mod went to scorpions as well as fan mod. They knew for sure the Scorpions were in town!!

Well # 1 I am glad Roger was ok. But in hind site, it did win the heat race, and you probably could have run it in the final with out the skis!
That thing really runs.

Who all got to ride in the 4 seat RZR sat night?? Against my better judgment, I went with Shaina Kirchof and Sue Fellbaum with Bradee driving. holy crap what a ride! I have no idea how fast we went, how far we flew or how high we were, but that woods course in the dark at WFO was insane!!

Missed out on that. When I got there Friday,I took the dirt bike back on the trails,something like 2 1/2 miles of trails? I went back to the cabin & lake,quite a setup they have.That would really be beautiful when the leaves start to change in Sept or Oct.
