If first place bumps up then and 2nd place doesn't then first place goes to the 2nd place guy who didn't bump up. If first and 2nd bump, then 3rd place becomes first place, 4th becomes 2nd, 5th becomes 3rd for trophies.
Otherwise I would have a 1st place and 2nd place trophy for 2 races of mod buggy from Sunday but really I finished 12th overall. Get it?

I would like to send out a huge Thank You to everyone that attended this year’s Team Checkpoint Chi-Town Shootout…this years event was one for the record books!
Bernie did an awesome job on the track…I don’t think I heard one complaint. It was very fast and flowed very well and you had to hit your marks every lap to be fast.
John did a great job running the races and I don’t think there was one single glitch the entire weekend. He will be missed at the races…good luck in school!
Mike Nelson and Jimbo Kvidera did a great job taking time out of their own practice time to run organized practice…that helped save a lot of broken parts.
Thanks to Scott Hill for building one of the best facilities in the world for r/c racing.
A big thanks to all of our sponsors: Team Checkpoint, Leisure Hours, R/C Car Magazine, UpGrade RC, Futaba, Duratrax, Muchmore, Proline, Associated, Hot Bodies, Parama and Spektrum. Without those great companies, it wouldn’t of been possible to raise over $900.00 for the raffle which 100% of the proceeds went to the Dash For Cash Races.
From all of us here at Hobbico, thanks again…we can’t wait until next year!

Team Checkpoint and Futaba Bring Home the Hardware
Team Checkpoint Chi-Town Shootout
Joliet, Illinois
March 5-7
When racers talk about the best facilities in the world, Leisure Hours Raceway always ranks at the top of the list. It saw a record-setting turnout at this past weekend’s Chi-Town Shootout with over 300 entries! The best drivers in the Midwest were in attendance and put on an awesome display of driving talent. Make sure and check out the cool video from the event.

Modified Truck
Team Checkpoint / Futaba driver Johnny LoGiudice came out of the gate flying and took the TQ spot with his Checkpoint batteries. But he had some trouble in the main event, and in the end it was Hobbico-sponsored Corey Crosley taking home the win.
Modified Buggy
Once again, Johnny LoGiudice set the pace to earn TQ honors. But this time he parlayed his front row starting spot and Checkpoint batteries to an early lead in the A main. From there LoGiudice never looked back, taking the win.
Modified 4WD
Hobbico-sponsored Corey Crosley made it look easy on his way to the TQ position but had troubles in the main event. Futaba’s Matt Gosch made a strong charge from mid-pack to finish in second place.
13.5 Truck
What can I say about Hobbico-sponsored Corey Crosley except that he was amazing! He put on a true driving clinic in one of the largest classes of the race. Crosley not only TQed each and every round, but he also went unchallenged in the A main, taking an impressive win.
13.5 Buggy
Team Checkpoint’s Mike Zakowski came out of the box on fire and went straight to the TQ position. In the A main, he checked out from the field and nailed an easy win. “Zippy” also used his Futaba radio to guide him to the front with pure confidence.
Stock Short Course
Short course classes seem to be growing at an alarming rate and so does the competition. In the stock class it comes down to perfect laps and great batteries…and that’s what Team Checkpoint / Futaba driver Chris Arnold had. Chris took the early lead and protected it the entire race.
Modified Short Course
Once again, Chris Arnold used his Team Checkpoint batteries and Futaba 4PK to take the TQ spot. In the main, it was a great battle between the top three drivers. In the end, Arnold made it a clean sweep in the 2WD short course classes.
4WD Short Course
Nitro ace and Futaba team driver Matt Gosch put on an awesome driving display, taking the TQ and putting a lap on the field in the A main. Coming in a strong second place was Team Checkpoint / Futaba driver Brad Brucker.
Electric 1/8
This was the first year for this class at the Chi-Town and the competition was excellent. Dayton Miller used his TQ spot to get a clean start and stay out of trouble for the win. Team Checkpoint / Futaba driver Scott Cramer put on a charge from mid-pack to finish in second place.
Rookie
As always at the Chi-Town race, we had a strong group of rookie racers. This year’s event saw CT Malvitz take the win, with Nick Richards in second and Craig Schlegel placing third.
Dash for Cash
Setting another record, the raffle raised an amazing $915.00 to be divided between the three classes. Taking the win in 13.5 truck was Hobbico-sponsored Corey Crosley. In modified buggy it was Futaba driver Chad Due, and in the modified short course race it was Al Horne.
Short Course Enduro
Another tradition at the Chi-Town race is the short course team enduro race...can you say 30 minutes of pure chaos! Continuing his dominance in the short course classes, Team Checkpoint / Futaba driver Chris Arnold teamed up with Johnny LoGiudice to take the overall win and claim the $150.00 prize.
A special thanks goes out to the entire Leisure Hours crew for an awesome race and all of the event sponsors: Team Checkpoint, Leisure Hours, R/C Car Magazine, UpGrade RC, Futaba, Duratrax, Muchmore, Proline, Associated, Hot Bodies and Parama.

If the bump-up took the trophy, you would have huge sandbagging problems. If someone was a really good driver and had confidence that they could bump up all the way to the a-main, they wouldn't bother qualifying directly into the main. Just "break" every round of qualifying, start in the d, e, f, or whatever main, and bump up all the way to the a. Not only do you get a ton of racing time, you get to take away trophies from all the other guys that are truly d,e,or f main drivers. That's not fair at all, and would be in pretty poor taste.
If you win your main, you can get a trophy, you just give up the bump-up.
Keep in mind that trophies are pieces of plastic and a few bolts, nothing more. This is all about having fun and racing competitively.
