Race Report for the Chilliwack Big Barn Shootout 2024



First off, I want to thank the event organizers and track crew for making an epic layout and hosting by far the best RC trophy race in Western Canada!!! Big shout out to Justin Wilde for the on-point race directing all weekend and keeping everyone on schedule to finish things up in a timely manner.

This was my first big trophy race in about 4 years. With 300+ entries I knew I would have my work cut out for me to try get on any podiums for the weekend. Definitely had some rust to shake off as I noticed on practice day it was kind of tough to get around with the old 2wd Buggy on this big track. Classes I ran were 2wd Buggy, 4wd Buggy, and Expert E-Buggy.



Saturday qualifying went quite well as I was able to TQ 2wd and 4wd Buggy. It took me a little bit to figure out how to make the triple with my 2wd Buggy that jump was huge, but once I had that in the bag I was sending it over the competition. My 4wd Buggy was feeling dialed and I just tried my best to run clean laps and be consistent and it paid off! E-Buggy on the other hand was lacking a bit of pace with the leaders and I was only able to qualify in 8th place on the grid. There were a lot of fast guys in this class and one mistake could really cost you. I could have been a bit better prepared with my tire selection, but I had to try make it work with what I had.

Sunday mains were electric to say the least!

2wd Buggy I would have bad starts in my first 2 heats. Mark Levy and Jason Mardon didn't hesitate to take the top positions with my mistakes, but in the end I would regain my composure started to send it over that triple and take home the win in A1 and A2! Pretty sure I was the only TLR car in a stacked field of AE buggies.

4wd buggy turned out to be one of the craziest classes this weekend for me. Even though I was starting out front I also didn't have the greatest starts in this class. With some tough battles between Robert Sorjonen and my buddy Mark Frauley they weren't going to make it easy for me to try take home a win. A3 was the only chance I had to get a clutch win to go to a tie breaker, seeing how Mark and Rob both broke out in this heat. I landed hard off the triple jump after about the second lap and for some reason my steering was turning hard left and made it very difficult to drive. Congrats to Paul Parks for taking that A3 win!! I was barely able to finish the race and wrap up third place overall for the weekend.

Expert E-buggy I would manage to have better starts, but didnt have the pace to hang with the top guys. Me and Elijah Hill seemed to be battling each other all day, but with a couple of mistakes here and there it would cost me being able to place higher in this class. I did however manage to pick up a couple spots and finished 6th overall for the weekend.

What an amazing weekend was had with the boys from CMRC and to see some old faces and meet some new ones! The Big Barn Shootout did not disappoint and this is a race I will be attending annually in the future!

Big thanks to my Sponsors for supporting me to enjoy this awesome hobby and take there products to the top!!!
