2021 Hot August Showdown hosted by Cabinet Mountain Raceway in Libby, MT is in the books.  In the nitro classes they ran 10-minute heads-up qualifiers.  Adam Drake was the overall TQ and went on to win the 25-minute nitro buggy and nitro truck finals.  

The event kicked off on Thursday evening with a clinic hosted by Adam Drake from 6pm – 9pm.  The clinic allowed racers to get additional track time, asking questions and get set-up help.  The local news stopped by Thursday evening to do a special on the event.  The clinic finished Friday morning followed by open practice.  Saturday was three rounds of qualifying and main event were on Sunday.
