We’re about wrapped up with our post RCQ photos. There may be one more hiding in the queue for tomorrow, but as it stands we managed to find just about a dozen “real camera” shots decent enough to post outside of our Live! coverage albumn. If you missed these shots as they were published, you can check them out in full resolution on Flickr and 500px. Just a reminder, all photos are licensed under Creative Commons, so feel free to share with your friends.
Also, be sure to check out the latest video creation from HeavyMetalConcepts, showcasing all the action from last weekends RCQ competition. Next weekend, we’ll be heading out to The Big House, where Ultra4 racers will take on Crandon International Speedway. Stay tuned next week for details!
Devils Den was certainly one of the rock crawling highlights of Rausch Creek, and it’s obsitcles like this that make Ultra4 racing so unique. Your flying through the fast sections, pumped to keep speed, and then you’re forced to carefully navigate through a land mine of rocks. As shown here, sometimes the fastest way is keeping your cool, pulling out the old winch, and taking a line that is open. And that’s how it’s done.
Photos continue to be posted throughout the week. You can find all of our latest ones over on 500px.
We’re excited to release yet another new Jeep Wheel Spacer to the product line. Say hello to the 1-1/2″ thick TJ Wheel Spacer Kit. But why stop there? Effective today, we’re also lowing the price of our original 1-1/4″ thick TJ Wheel Spacer Kit to $89.95 a pair. Happy Wednesday!
We were so busy with Live! updates, we came back to HQ with only a few “real camera” photos. We’ll be posting a photo or two a day throughout this week to build up a small set, and we’ll post an update when they’re all uploaded. In the meantime, if you’re interested in seeing the photos sooner best place to watch out for is this set on Facebook. If you’re not on Facebook, no worries because the set is public (no login needed). Alright then, back to work.
Wow, what an event. From start to finish, the action was absolutely unmatched as teams battled the coal and mud fields of Rausch Creek Off-Road Park. While it was certainly anyones game, qualifying put all eyes on Erik Miller, Derek West, Jason Scherer, and Bill Baird . As Ultra4 races sometimes go, gremlins got the best of the top three qualifiers, paving the way for Bill Baird, who claimed his first Ultra4 victory this past weekend. A huge congratulations to Bill for running an amazing race.
