R/C Boat National Event

After finishing 3rd in the Nation last year in the "QSAC" R/C Car Sportsman Division, Robby Vaughn, our Spartanburg Store's R/C Mechanic, is trying his hand at R/C Boat racing. Over the weekend Robby and several other R/C boaters from the area went to Atlanta to compete in the "Gas Nats", a Gas powered R/C Boat event. Robby entered two classes and took top honors in both.



"Gee, where can I get one of those nifty Great Escape t-shirts?

The "Pruett"ized E-Maxx

Hobby customer Mike Pruett, took his E-Maxx to the next level! Mike built the framework from scratch to create this two foot long Super Crawler.
And.......... he did it all for about $100.00!

Mr.Glover 2009 US Open Golf Champ / Cyclist

Mr Glover, you just won the US OPEN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP. Where are you going next?

I'm going to The Great Escape to buy bikes for my wife and I so we may exercise together while riding.

Seriously we would like to thank Jennifer and Lucas Glover for choosing The Great Escape for both their cycling purchases. The Great Escape and the people of upstate SC are proud of Lucas's accomplishments and wish him many more in the coming years.
