Kyle Layton running a B44.2 powered by a Tekin RS Pro and Gen2 17.5 Redline motor would take the win in the 4wd buggy class, one of the toughest classes to manage at the race. Layton would run 30/75 gearing for the 10 minute A-main, coming off at a cool 165 degrees!

The winter months are over and that means the end of the indoor offroad season for many midwest racers, as they prepare to go outdoors. Finishing off the indoor offroad season is the annual “Spring Classic” event hosted by 80/35 Raceway in Grimes, Iowa.

This year’s event attracted 160+ entries consisting of racers from all across the midwest including Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, and more!

Team Tekin driver Mike Garrison made the trip for the “2014 Spring Classic” to race in the 4wd Modified SCT class. The technical track layout made for some very close racing in all classes. Garrison would capture the overall TQ spot in Saturday’s qualifying, leading up to Sunday’s triple A-Mains.

As the tone sounded for A1 on Sunday morning, the field stayed close several minutes into the race. Eventually the Tekin Rx8 Pro4 powered TLR SCTE 2.0 of Garrison began to stretch out on the field, crossing the line for the win. A2 would be a mirror image of A1, as once again the field was tight. Garrison would once again take the win start to finish, crowning him the 2014 Spring Classic 4wd SCT Champion!

Sunday March 16th was the first round of the CMA Paraguayan Championship… Jorge Vera (PY) got the first place on the 1/8 Electric Buggy race with his Tekin Gen2 powered HotBodies D812-E!

The Paraguayan Championship takes place at the CMA (Club de Modelismo de Asuncion) at Limpio City near Asuncion and receives a lot of Drivers from cities around the country.
