2015 Horizon Hobby Off-Road Championships
Having executed another complete cycle around the sun we find ourselves staring blindly at September on the calendar. Last year we were already discussing changing trees, new Trackside sweatshirt selections and what type of Inuit-inspired winter clothing would be required once October showed up… This year however, Mother Nature has decided to welcome meteorological fall with the fanfare of 40-year temperature highs and the foggy remnants of western forest fires!
As we barrel headlong into the glisten-causing fall weather we longingly gaze towards cooler weather, freshly built layouts, perfectly spaced jumps, fast sweepers, challenging rhythm sections and glacier-touched rollers… all in preparation for that rite of passage at Trackside Raceway.
As has been the case for many years, Trackside will host the best of the best in off-road racing for the first weekend of November, 2015. This year we welcome a new title sponsor and name to the event, Horizon Hobby!
Please help us to make the 2015 Horizon Hobby Off-Road Championships the very best event yet! Continued team changes, new chassis releases and reconfigurations will continue to test the mettle of all racers as they strive to stand atop the podium!
