The Cause: The Marines Toys for Tots Foundation
The Loot: $1,900 in donations were raised to go straight to the foundation along with 17+ large boxes filled with toys for the less fortunate.
The location: TeamChase Compound is in the beautiful Southern California city of Perris (just off the 15 headed to vegas from LA). The compound sits on top of mountain with amazing views and limited neighbors in sight (thats good when you have your own 1/5 scale track..haha).
The Wrap Up:
Several valuable items were donated to the big raffle which raised funds for the Toys for Tots Foundation. The total raised for these items was just over $1,700.00. Here are the items donated and images of the winners.

Grand Prize- HPI Baja 5b decked out with a ton of aftermarket goodies donated by TGN Distributing. Valued over $2,000!

Two Bodies were custom painted by Got Paint, one on a HPI Baja 5T and another on a body donated by Woodster.

TNT donated one of their heavy duty baja stands to the cause. Do you recognize this guy? He was the lucky winner of the HPI Baja donated by TGN last year! Lucky guy!

A new SC Wide Body was donated by RCP which was won by this lucky lady.

TeamFastEddy also held his own side raffle for one of his popular work stands for the HPI Baja. Ironically Gary of Team Losi won the stand but was promised he would get the new Losi top plate soon. Eddies raffle raised an additional $210 for the Toys for Tots Foundation. Thank you Ed!

Both HPI Racing and Losi Racing were present at this event and playing nicely pitted right next to each other. Way to go guys! Thanks for your support!

The turnout was excellent, I believe it was increased by a good amount from last year. Weather was a little iffy across LA so I do believe some may have skipped out on making the trip based off their local weather. Either way it was great to see so many of the regulars as well as some of the new guy and gals out at the Chase Compound.
TONS of item were donated by the event sponsors listed below. We raffled off most of them using the tickets they received when donating a toy. The others we done by people lining up and getting handed items as they passed by the Marine Master Sargent

And this DarkSoul 5IVE-T Billet Clutch Carrier took the abuse of stunt driver Mark Hull.

The big shock of the weekend I think came from Barndog Racing. Check out his new panels he is working on for the TeamChase cage for the HPI Baja. WOW! Coming soon to TGN!
