The 2nd Annual Northwest Stock Championships were held this past weekend at PDX RC Underground in Portland, Oregon. This is the home track of our Muchmore USA Team Manager Joe Pillars, who also helped put on this event for the second straight year with track owner Kevin Focht. After nearly doubling the total race entries from just one year ago, the stage was set for a great day of racing!

In the Pro 17.5 2wd Stock Buggy class, Muchmore USA Team Manager Joe Pillars took the TQ's in Rounds #1 & 2 with his Muchmore powered Yokomo YZ-2 CA L2! Muchmore Factory Driver Harley Yoshii then went onto reset the overall TQ in Round #3 with his Muchmore powered Yokomo YZ-2 CA L2, to start on the pole for the triple A-Mains!
