BWS Race at HobbyTown USA, Santee

The other weekend I checked out the mobile carpet track race at HobbyTown USA in Santee, put on by BWS Raceway.  This was the first off-road carpet race I've seen in person.  The layout itself was fine, but the jumps were oddly shaped with steep takeoff and short and steep landing jumps.  This caused the cars to shoot high into the air then flat land on the hard carpet surface, since the landing area was so small.  The takeoff for the triple must've been sending the cars 15 ft high into the air!  Then the cars sometimes flat landed!  OUCH!

Track setup

Massive triple!

I'll probably check out the next close by race again.  Hopefully the jumps are shaped better, then I might try it out!
