The 1st Annual Psycho Nitro Blast was held at Henderson Arena in Atlanta, Ga. The race drew 346 racers despite it being the inaugural race. Carolina’s R/C, ModHobby.com, CEN Racing and OCM were the main sponsors. Production Monster Truck, Sportsman’s Buggy, Pro Buggy and Pro Truggy were the classes racers could compete in. Pro Buggy was the biggest class, and Trinity’s Chad Phillips took the win with his Team Losi 8IGHT buggy powered by Trinity’s new nitro engine and Platinum fuel. Other winners included Mark Holloway in Production Monster Truck, Trey Cook in Sportsman’s Buggy, and Dustin Bunch in Pro Truggy. According to racers, the track was very challenging with sections called Shock Therapy, the Dragon’s Tail and the dreaded Leap of Faith. These sections made for exciting racing and some major air time. For a video of the event click here for RCViewTube on rccaraction.com.
