Overall MIP couldn't have asked for a better weekend from the awesome crew at GLT Hobbies and raceway. With their largest event to date hitting a 120 entries the event as well as MIP product presence has increased by 40 percent from years past. The track held up awesome and a special thanks to the crowd and racers for letting us demo the 1/5 scale class with the 1/8 buggies. Though on a small track the Hostilefest winning MIP 5th scale was able to finagle around the track and give the crowd a show up at the top of the main for the win.

Special thanks to Kevin Purnell II and GLT hobbies for making it possible for Matt and MIP to attend this event and making the entire weekend run smooth. GLT hobbies in Oakland Maine is fully stocked with MIP products along with just blut everything our hobby has to offer, check out their awesome shop and facility or all your RC needs. Also a shout out to MIP driver Stove Hanson for the Gas for the 1/5 scale!

Great Job to all MIP drivers on the stellar performance, professionalism, and great sportsmanship. Couldn't ask for a better group of guys representing MIP on the East coast. Can't wait to make it back next year.
