After two days of short course racing, one things for certain. Ultra4s are crowd pleasers. Both days of racing were intense, but without question the final day of Ultra4 racing was easily one of the hottest races, for all classes, of the weekend. We’d be surprised if Ultra4s weren’t invited back again, and we’d be equally surprised if Ultra4s didn’t accept :) .

We grabbed this shot of Will Carter at last weekend’s TORC Traxxas Cup race, who finished 2nd on day two in the Ultra4 class.

From rock crawling to short course racing, the Lovells have proven time and again they have what it takes to conquer any off-road terrain. While Brad was busy winning the TORC Pro Light series championship, his brother Roger (pictured here) was grabbing himself a 3rd place finish in the 2nd Ultra4 race this past weekend. Guess it runs in the family.

What short course action would be complete without a shot of The Big Ugly. Normally, you’d see Kevin Sacalas and his Big Ugly Ultra4 on the podium, unfortunately motor problems got the best of Kevin last weekend. Still a blast to watch Kevin race though.

One things for certain, Brad’s Pro Light can fly. Just another shot from last weekends 2012 TORC Round 13 competition.

Erik Miller is fast, so fast in fact he typically has one or two tires in the air when navigating the course. Here’s evidence of the latter.  Day one of Ultra4 short course racing which took place last weekend went very well for Erik, finishing the day with a 2nd place podium finish. Day two was going just about as well, until Erik hit a rut coming into the final stretch of his lap, causing him to roll. The officials flipped him back, and Erik continued on. He managed to pull ahead to 3rd, but right before crossing the finish the same rut from earlier got him again, this time for good. His rig is a bit banged up, and the motor didn’t sound too happy either, but we suspect his team Miller Motorsports will be back in action in time for the Ultra4 Nationals in November.
