King of the Hill Point Series is up next! 👑🏁

Round 2 is September 26th, and the rest of the series will be raced on the Mid-West Nitro Challenge layout. One of the toughest features is the nasty off-camber section that wraps around a massive hill — a pretty fitting challenge for a series where everyone is battling to climb to the top and become King of the Hill!

After Round 1, Braden Bruce is sitting on top in both Nitro Buggy and E-Buggy, but there’s still plenty of racing left.

Missed Round 1? You’re still in the hunt! Make the next three races, and with bonus points available at the Finals, there’s still plenty of opportunity to make a championship run.

While we’re battling for the hill here at Dirtburners, many of the top pros will be in Texas battling for the IFMAR World Championship. Good luck to Mason Fuller, Braden Bruce and Jared Tebo, who raced with us last weekend at the Nitro Challenge as they prepared for Worlds!

Huge thanks to Send It-RC, AKA, Trinity, Dillicious Designs, and Blaze RC for supporting the King of the Hill Point Series.

Round 2 — September 26th. Who’s ready

Racing Cancelled for Tomorrow Night

Unfortunately, we are cancelling racing tomorrow night due to the expected low turnout and the forecasted heat.

We hate to cancel, but with the temperatures expected and a lighter crowd anticipated, we feel it’s the best decision.

Thanks for understanding, and we’ll see everyone at the next weekend's point series race!
