Horizon Hobby was onsite for the 2012 Shortcourse Nationals hosted by R/C Madness in Enfield, CT. This event featured shortcourse racing all of shapes and sizes! Check out the 1/5 scale A-Main video courtesy of Horizon Hobby!
 
Horizon Hobby Race Report:
 
For the fourth consecutive year the folks at RC Madness hosted the Short Course Nationals. The Short Course Nationals has grown each and every year to bring in racers from all around the country, and this year was no different. The 2012 rendition of this classic race marked the largest turnout ever with nearly 340 total entrants. With new classes, a second track and lots of great battles this was certainly one to remember.

In this video... A big race deserves to have big trucks and it doesn't get much bigger than the 1/5-scale class! Making their debut at the Short Course Nationals the 1/5-scale trucks ran the last race of the event. Before their main, however, thunderstorms rolled through the area and made the track quite muddy. That didn't shake the 1/5-scale drivers as this hearty crew saw a majority of those who ran in the qualifiers run the mains. Josh Howell put his Losi 5IVE-T on the pole in qualifying with the only 12-lap run of the event. This was on a much different track than what the main would be run on, thanks to the rain. Come and check out the 15-minute A-Main of the 1/5-scale class!
