When Friday evening rolled around, loads of Rallycross drivers
started showing up to have a go and pit their skills against each
other - but on the RC track! The full-size action would
be kicking off on Saturday morning but now it was time to
drive the Baja 5SC!

For many of the drivers it was their first time driving an RC
vehicle, and no one was quite prepared for a RWD large scale
truck...but that's what the training laps were for! Every driver
had a handful of laps before getting 3 running hot laps - the
fastest time would go on the board to compare with the times of
every other driver that would take to the track!

With over 20 drivers on the board (over half the entire World
Rallycross field!), at the end of the evening it was Hoonigan
Racing Division's Andreas Bakkerud who would have the overall
fastest lap time!

Of course, racers being racers...everyone wanted to be Andreas'
top time - including local hotshot Reinis Nittis and Andreas
himself!

The following day, between demonstration runs of the Baja 5SC,
specially-liveried WR8 Flux cars found time to get themselves on
the track:

Over the weekend, scores of Golden Tickets were handed out at
the Monster Rig Riot and afterwards for anyone who wanted to have a
go with the Baja 5SC! The Monster Rig Riot is held at the huge
Monster Rig, where the Monster Girls and Monster rallycross drivers
threw out tons of Monster stickers, driver posters and hard-to-find
Monster World RX shirts!

With the Monster Rig Riot finished, we started to get loads of
drivers coming over to the track, Golden Tickets in hand, all
competing to see who would have the fastest time!

This was a unique way to actually race against
real FIA World Rallycross stars on a
real racetrack!

Of course, everyone was there to see the full-size cars, so we
had to head over to the Hoonigan Racing Division garage to check
out the actual race cars driven by Ken and Andreas around the
world!

And at the end of the weekend...tired, sore and more than a
little bit wet...we were happy to say that it was a really great
event for us - and thanks to the FIA World Rallycross team and
Monster Energy all of us were #BakkerudBLUE
