The No Limit RC of Florida crew made their 2nd stop of the 2010 Advance Auto Parts Florida Monster Jam tour on January 23rd at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. With a great sunny Florida day ahead of them, they set up a Las Vegas style obstacle course at the Built Ford Tough Party in the pits. With 24 replica RC monster trucks in attendance, the Tampa Monster Jam fans were sure in for a great day of elimination bracket racing and Freestyle. After Driver introductions it was 2007 RC Monster Truck World Finals Racing Champion Justin Heard setting the pace as he qualified number 1 with his HPI Savage XL Batman. In true World Finals style, the fastest 8 qualifiers automatically earned a seed in the 2nd round. The upset of the day would come in that 2nd round when 11 year old Chris Dixon and his Nitro Circus Savage X took out the number 1 qualifier Justin Heard. Chris would go on to defeat Michael Hartsock (son of Scott Hartsock) and the Gunslinger to earn a race against the always consistently fast Bari Musawwir with his Savage X Grave Digger. Chris gave Bari all he wanted as the trucks soared over the finish line jump with Bari barley edging out Chris in 1 of the better races of the day. On the other side of the bracket Bari's Advance Auto Parts Grinder Savage X Narrowly escaped a round 1 defeat at the hands of Charles Beaman and his Monster Mutt. Bari would move through rounds 2 and 3 to take down the number 2 qualifier Billy Dunleavy and his Savage X Escalade in the other semi final race. When the dust settled Bari saw himself matched up against him-self in the finals. Bari gave the driving duties of his Grave Digger Savage X over to Justin Heard to give the huge crowd a great final race. When light changed to green on the Christmas tree timing system, both trucks thundered off the starting line with nearly identical reaction times. As they approached the critical turn, the Grinder carried more momentum and throttled it home for the win, launching off the final jump. With his second win in as many races Bari was amped to put on an awesome freestyle show with his HPI Baja 5T and boy did he. Check out the photos below if you need visual proof!
