Everyone... come out to Bremerton for Round #2 of the Showdown. We are doing 3 rounds of qualifying with 2 out of 3 Qual points and Double A mains. Jim Dunlap ran a great show at Portland for Round 1 and will be the RD for the next round at Bremerton. The vibe in the pits at the first race was awesome. Everyone had a great time and the season is off to a good start!

I hope you guys are ready for this race!!! It's going to be awesome. I think most of the traveling Portland crew will be there to battle in Bremerton.

I'm really excited to attend this race as well as doing the race coverage. Round 1 was awesome and had a great time and very stoked to promote racers and racing in the NW with the Pacific NW Showdown Series.

Here is Round 1 WITH VIDEO!!! Stock and Mod Buggy A1 and A2.

The new track is in.. Its going to be a great showdown track..
The track will be open to run on by 2pm Monday.. just a little bit of packing and than some painting still to do......

Only 6 days till round 2 of the best r/c race series in the NW...

Sounds like we are going to have the biggest turnout of local BRCR racers coming out to run this year.

We are known as a great beginner and low stress track for the average racer.
So sometimes are local racers are a little intimidated by the big race. But this year we are going to have a very good local turnout..

Cant wait..
