Psycho Nitro Blast

The Psycho Nitro Blast brings new meaning to the nitro racing community and its name describes just that. The track is built inside of a huge Horse arena. They typically lay out the track and let the drivers loose for over 32 hours of practice. That’s right 32 hours or more of practice. Do they maintenance the track some will ask… The answer is no…. well kind of.. They only fix the connection point between the wooden ramps and dirt to make sure the jumps are not damaged. The remainder of the track is left un-repaired. What does this really mean…. It means...

USA: Easton with Cobra wins Psycho Nitro Blast (12/03/2012)

From liverc.com
Pro buggy was a four-way race between Billy Easton, Reno Savoya, Adam Drake, and Jeremy Kortz with nobody else ever in serious contention.
Early on, Easton broke away and left Reno, Drake, and Kortz to fight for second. In the end, you could say Easton pretty much crushed everyone in the final. His car was by far the best on the track.
A well deserved victory for Billy with his NR powered Serpent Cobra buggy.
