The 1st Annual Toys for Tots Race was held December 5th at Portland R/C Raceway. PRCR is the newest electric off-road facility in the North-West that opened their doors only 1 short month ago.

Top drivers from Washington and Oregon came to support this great cause and helped raise allot of gifts for underprivileged children. At the end of the 1-day event, over 80 gifts were donated by the racers!

In the 2wd Modified Buggy Class it was Team Orion USA/Kyosho America Team Manager Joe Pillars who set the overall TQ with his Team Orion powered Kyosho RB5-SP. In the main event Pillars and Team Orion/Kyosho teammate Shaun Dunlap quickly pulled way from the field and had good battle for the first half of the race. Pillars never made a mistake and went on to take the win by over half a lap. Dunlap would finish in 2nd with Team Orion/Kyosho driver Roger Seim in 3rd. This making it a Team Orion/Kyosho 1,2,3 sweep in the 2wd Modified Class!
