Barry talks about this past weekend: “What a wet weekend on the East Coast! Our original plans to race at the Colonel’s Classic in Savannah, Ga., were cancelled due to a gloomy forecast of rain for the entire southeast. We were fortunate to be able to travel to Knoxville, Tn. to a track that is located in a Knoxville Zoo pavillion, which means it is fully covered!<\/p>\n

This was our first trip to this track and we were pleasantly surprised. The name of the track and the RC club is ROCCK Racing<\/span><\/a> and they are a great bunch of guys. Although this was a regular scheduled club race, the attendance was high due to the rain and the race in Savannah being cancelled. I ran two classes, Nitro and Electric Buggy. I went on to TQ and win E-Buggy with my Tekin Rx8 Gen2<\/a> T8 Gen2<\/a> powered Mugen Mbx Eco buggy.<\/p>\n

I look forward to going back in a couple of weeks to a featured race at the ROCCK<\/span><\/a>.”<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
