Default Real Staduim Truck racing!!!

If you turn to NBC you can see some real staduim trucks racing. They even have a traxxas logo on the top right hand corner of the screen. (ends about 4:30 Sun)

Have to say i have never seen ST racing before. But it is awsome. The trucks just slide around the corners bumping in to eachother and going on two wheels. Not to mention the jumps either. I would say it is very simialr to actual rc racing with a little less crashing. The race i saw the leader got a flat tire on the finial lap and still held everyone off to get the win.

Traxxas must have a lot of money to sponsor 2 CORR trucks if not more.

Yeah i saw that. It was also awsome when Rendez....(dont rember how to sp it) blew out a tire and then went on to still finish first. Then in the next race he jumped one of those mini portable cement barriers they use for traffic and got stuck. Thought it was funny how he tried to back off it.

Wow, I been watching full scale stadium truck racing for some 20 years. AE also joined with, Barlow Motorsports/Red Bull/Bosch team for the 2008 CORR season.

Good stuff...

I was watching one of these a while back; I think it might have been the Las Vegas one. There was a truck going through a rhythm section, and when he lost his rhythm, he ended up doing a double front flip before slamming back down on the front shocks. Does anyone remember that? It was awesome. He was barely in the camera shot, so everyone thought he did one flip. After watching the replay, everyone was thinking- holy crap!
