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

Top drivers from Washington and Oregon came to support this great cause and helped raise a lot of gifts for underprivileged children. At the end of the one-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 team-mate 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 second with Team Orion/Kyosho driver Roger Seim in third. This making it a Team Orion/Kyosho one-two-three sweep in the 2wd Modified Class!
