Tony Bacon Kicks Cancer's Butt with his RC8T3 and RC8B3!

This weekend we attended the Team Associated-sponsored Karsyn's Krusader's Race in Evansdale, IA. It is a cancer benefit race where we are kicking cancer's butt one lap at a time. This year's event brought some of the fastest guys in the Midwest to hammer it out at LRT Raceways, a high-bite, fast and technical track.

Three rounds of qualifying and A Mains led to exciting racing action in all classes.

First main up was the Nitro Truggy A Main. Starting third on the grid, I was able to take the lead on the first pit stop and they never caught up. My RC8T3 had all the goods right out of the box, enabling me to put several laps on the field. Third place Kevin Bronner also ran the new RC8T3.

In the Pro Nitro Buggy A Main, I was able to TQ qualifying and take advantage of the pole to break away from the pack and just settle in to clean, consistent laps. My RC8B3 was flawless and one of the easiest vehicles to drive consistently lap after lap. Team Associated driver Danny Bartholomew took second place.

Thanks for the support and looking forward to next weekends race at AMS 7.0.
