The Beast of the East has become a fun annual event hosted by World of RC Parts in Lucama, North Carolina. The rough weather kept some people from attending but those that attended were treated to a wild track layout and some awesome racing.
The race was shortened to a 1 day Friday program to allow everyone to get home ideally before the impending weather. This meant there would be 2 qualifiers and single mains to cap the event off.
The JConcepts team would have the following results in qualifying:
2wd Mod: 1st Ryan Caudle, 2nd Brennan Schimmel
4wd Mod: 1st Brennan Schimmel, 2nd Colton Furnari, 3rd Josh Parrish
Pro Buggy: 2nd Maddy Long
Pro Ebuggy: 1st Colton Furnari, 3rd Maddy Long
17.5 Expert 2wd: 1st Daigan Bledsoe
13.5 Expert 4wd: 2nd Daigan Bledsoe
