Tekin wins big at the 2010 Alabama Manufacturers Shootout!!

  By

Team Drivers Jeremy Potter and Randy Pike were in attendance to offer support, and race of course!  Both Jeremy and Randy were running Electric 1/8 Buggy having solid qualifying and making the A-Main. Randy also entered in the hotly contested Electric Truggy taking the Tq and the overall win.

Jeremy Potter was armed with a Tekin Rx8 2050 in his Hotbodies Ve8. Randy was running an Rx8 1700 equipped Losi 2.0. In Truggy Randy was running the Rx8 and 2000kv T8 motor. Both were running Thunder Power 4s 40c packs.

Both were there to help with driver setups, gearing help and car setup. During all of the mains nearly 30+ Tekin Rx8 systems were running without a single hiccup or failure. The track was in great shape while the Alabama heat made for some great racing on the large indoor track.  It was an overall success.

Special thanks to Alan Burton and the entire AMS crew for hosting a great event.

The First Annual “Clay Pit” Challenge at our track this past weekend. There were over 90+ entries. Ron Atomic managed to TQ both 4wd Mod Buggy and 2wd od Buggy. Ron ran out of tire in the 2wd buggy A1 main to finish second. A2 buggy main did not go as planned as Ron once again had a tough main choosing the wrong tires. In A3 Ron was closer with his tires but had to settle for 2nd overall as the copetition was feirce. In 4wd things were exciting. A1 started well as Ron held the lead for a bit then started making mental errors and swapping it back and forth with Chris Allison(the shop owner). Chris got the better of Ron through traffic and Ron ended up second in A1. In A2 Ron went from 1st to last as he cased the first triple. Ron managed to fight his way back through the cars to end up second. Luckily for Ron there was a different winner than A1. Going into A3 it was a toss up. There were 4 cars with a chance at the overall title. Chris and Ron swapped the lead a couple of times in the first minute or so, then Ron strapped it up and checked out, setting the fasted time of the weekend and Taking the overall win(decided by a tie break).
