Big Kahuna Shootout - 2010


This is the Michigan / Great Lakes Region's RC Racing community at its best.

The Big Kahuna Shootout is a long standing tribute race put on by the friends of a fellow RC racer.




I don't want to say too much, or try and tell the story, rather let the event speak for itself.




Folks traveled from a far to visit and take part in this annual event.  Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, even Canada.  The racing community honored the man's legacy in the best way I can imagine...

25 heats of racing, 244 entries...

On the track.

(4WD SCT A-Main was filmed, but not yet posted)





























We filmed the Stock SCT Main, but the video cam battery died just as the race was ending.  I'm very sorry to Kyle Munson and the rest of the racers, it was one heck of a race with a great finish.

Special thanks to Chris Peterson for helping with the HD production and post-processing.
