Held at ARC Raceway, the 9th Annual Sidewinder Nitro Explosion was filled with factory drivers all prepping for worlds. Electric 1/8 has become a heavily contested class with entries from nearly all factory teams contending for the top positions.
Team Tekin powered Adam Drake would Tq the class with his Tekin Rx8/1900 powered TLR 8ight 2.0e . Behind him was his Tekin/TLR Teammate Jacob Haas. Jacob is a young up and comer and he should be watched as his skill and consistency is getting better and better each race. Jacob chose the Tekin Rx8/2050 combo while Jeremy Kortz ran the Tekin Rx8/1900 combo.
Two 10 minute mains would be run in this class. Adam would take the win in A1 followed by Tekin teammate Jeremy Kortz 2nd and Jacob Haas 3rd. A2 would again have Adam out front followed this time by Jacob Haas 2nd and Jeremy Kortz 5th. This would give Adam Drake the overall Tq and win, Jacob Haas 2nd and Jeremy Kortz 3rd for a complete Tekin powered podium! Great job guys!
