The days are starting to get longer and the rain is going away which means it’s almost time to go racing! The 2021 JConcepts Points Series kicks off in May, but first the Nor Cal R/C Monster Truck Showdown will be hosting a Preseason Shakedown and Open House at a new venue for the 2021 season: Rescue Community Center R/C Track! This is your opportunity to dial in your new builds or make sure your old ones still work while getting some practice on race course layouts that will be used during the Points Series. Come out and meet fellow racers, race officials, and size up the competition in a laid back, fun afternoon to get the season kicked off.
In addition to getting your trucks dialed in, you can get your trucks tech inspected prior to the season which will save time before the first event in May and give you peace of mind that your rig is legal to run. We will also be getting footage and doing some driver interviews to feature in the upcoming season’s video coverage. Jake from Black Market RC and Kenny from Bitchin’ Bodies will have booths set up featuring their latest offerings and Eric Myers Photography will be on hand capturing the event. You can also purchase a Season Pass for the 2021 Points Series at this event or try your luck and win one as there will be a raffle with the grand prize being a 1 Truck Season Pass.
Please note that the event will be held at the dirt oval. There is plenty of room to park at the Community Center lot. There are a limited number of outlets to use but no tables and minimal shade, so come prepared with tables, canopies, food, water, etc.
