Phil Atondo Dominates the BRP Epic Freeze !

This past weekend B.R.P. in Lakeport CA which is near the Northwestern coastline held their first Annual Epic Freeze. It’s called the Epic Freeze for a good reason as it’s outdoor with the track under a cover and in the mornings it was 20-28 degrees out! The event was a blast and track was awesome with a very technical layout and high bite on smoothie tires. Tire of choice for this event were Panther Slicks in clay compound. TLR’s Phillip Atondo showed for the event and a lot of fast racers from the Nor-Cal area. Atondo TQ’ed and won the first 2 A mains in exp 2wd mod buggy with his Tekin powered TLR 22 with a Redline 8.5 and also went on to win the first 2 A mains with his Tekin Rx8 Pro 4 powered Losi Ten-SCTE which were all powered by Xcelorin batteries riding on Panther Tires.
