This last weekend Tekin teammates Ryan Lutz and Joe Bornhorst continued to build on their teammate status by both signing recently with Tekno RC. Tekno long known for their innovative electric buggy and electric truggy designs have picked up two of Tekin’s top drivers to build upon their already great team going into 2015. This was the first big race for Lutz having joined Tekno and the results speak for themselves.
Joe Bornhorst has been making a name for himself all 2014. Team manager Randy Pike said “he’s one to watch” earlier this year and nothing could be further from the truth. Joe went out and Tq’d over some of the fastest drivers in the world in the 1/8 E buggy division.
Bornhost would take A-1 with a tone to tone victory over Tekin/Tekno teammate Ryan Lutz who took P2. A-2 Joe would make a mistake in the first corner to give Lutz the lead. For the next few minutes the entire field would battle it out. Lutz would get the lead back and hold onto to take the win in A-2, Joe taking P2. A-3 would have the teammates swapping the lead countless times. Side by side for nearly 5 minutes it would come down to Bornhorst making a mistake giving Lutz gap he wouldn’t relinquish taking the overall win. Bornhorst would take P2 overall, Cody King taking 3rd. Both Joe and Ryan chose the award winning Tekin Rx8 Gen2 and T8 Gen2 motors to power their Tekno rides to the top positions in the field.
