Reliant Stadium

Event recap: Drivers Dave Collard and Jordan Robson came into the event dominating the last few league races the 2 have attended, They proved once again why they are some of the top drivers in MTM2. Collard picked up the huge racing win over Kevin Payne, Robson who finished 3rd, Still has the Points lead by 2 Points over the now revived MJM Star Dave Collard. Collard took out the 2nd fastest qualifier in the finals, Kevin Payne. Reliant saw some exceptional racing but some awesome Freestyles! Robson won the Freestyle, Most known for Racing, Has been picked up his Freestyle's as of late, Even enough to be called the best up coming Freestyler in MTM2, By ironically Dave Collard. Robson got a 29 in the event as he pulled a bunch of wheelies including one in reverse. We saw some awesome freestyles from Kevin Payne, Josh Rhodes, Scotty Bergman the FS Points leader and DC pulled a good one. But Robson won it. All in all the Houston Texas fans were pumped after the event! MJM heads to Free Country Arena on the 10th of January!

MJM Freestyle Review

After racing it was time for Freestyle here in the RCA Dome, For the final time in MJM. And fitting it was a long time vet in MTM2 To win the final MJM event in the RCA Dome. Scotty Bergman dominated Freestyle with a spectacular run. Scott's run started off just as wild as it ended, He pulled a wheelie over the black car, onto the blue stack and rode it out towards the wall, One of the best wheelies of all time in MJM. He went onto to continue the run in Scotty Bergman fashion inside the Destroyer Ford, He took down the rest of the competitors by over 4 points! Bergman wins MJM FS in Indy!

Scott told MJM's Jordan Robson this after the show, "Felt good to win it, first time out with this new Destroyer and to win by over 4 points in the event felt cool!"

After the win Bergman will move into the FS Points lead by a good margin, Bergman has won the only 3 FS Events of the year! Seems like a tale of two storys with Robson and Scotty.

MJM Racing Review

Night started off as expected! The best of the best at the top of the qualifying charts, Jordan Robson had First spot with a 20.56, Followed by Scott Bergman and Tim Smith. Racing night went on as Bergman would fall to Smith in a round 2 game 1 race, Smith and Robson both advanced to the Final game, As did Dan Agosh, Kevin Payne, Auz Grams, and Yomega, All 6 were very fast but went it was down to four it was Jordan Robson, Kevin Payne, Timmy Smith and LJ (Yomega) The first of two final four races had Jordan Robson facing the fast loser, Kevin Payne. Payne got the hole shot and led the first 3/4th's of the race, But Robson snuck it out at the end and advanced to the finals! Tim Smith who was in the top 3 in qualifying made it passed Mega to face Jordan Robson in the MJM RCA Dome Racing Finals! Off they went and Tim had an early edge! But at the 2nd hit they both were even as could be! Smith and Robson were dead even coming to the line and in the closest finish of the night, Robson pulled out the racing win! Propelling him into the MJM Racing Points lead winning the last 2 events!
