The Cabin Fever in Lewiston, ID never fails to provide a challenging indoor supercross experience for all racers who attend. With close to 300 entries, the Fever is one of the largest RC events in Idaho and provides an awesome event during the dead months of RC for racers to break out the cars and get ready for spring!
E-buggy was the largest class at the Fever this year and definitely one of the most competitive over the weekend. Tekin Drivers Jeremy Potter, Ty Campbell, Nick Buechler, Jayson Tjepkema and Lee Hackney were in attendance and representing with great performances. Potter layed down great runs in qualifying with his Tekin Rx8/T8 powered HB D812 Tekno and earned the TQ and first starting place on the grid. Mains were 12 cars deep and full of battles. Potter wrapped up the win after A2 and sat back to watch the battle ensue for the A3. Nick Buechler took the A3 win and claimed 2nd overall with his Tekin powered Associated RC8.2e with Ty Campbell right behind in the points for a 3rd place finish with his Tekin powered TLR 8-E 2.0, Jayson Tjepkema in 6th, and Lee Hackney in 9th.
Pro4 Short Course was another big class filled with battles and after a three way battle for TQ between three drivers, Ty Campbell came out with the TQ spot with his Tekin RX8 / Pro4HD MIP Pro4mance TLR SCTE, and Jayson Tjepkema in the 3rd, also running an Rx8/ Pro4 powered MIP TLR SCTE. A1 started off a little rough and Ty had to fight back for a 3rdplace finish and Jayson in the 2. A2 consisted of a very close battle between Ty and A1 winner Tim Hethcox. On the very last lap a small but costly bobble by Ty let Tim get a little breathing room and it was over after A2. Ty went on to win A3 and secure the 2nd spot on the podium with Jayson taking 3rd.
Mod Truck seems to be making a comeback in the northwest and there was a pretty good turnout at the Fever. Tekin/TLR Driver Shane Preugschat came out with a win for the weekend with his Tekin powered TLR 22T.
Tekin/XRay Driver Taylor Petersen debuted in 4WD Mod Buggy this weekend with the new Xray XB4 buggy. 4Mod was a challenge at the Fever but TP wheeled great all weekend and ended up 2nd overall. Taylor also TQ’d and won Pro Nitro Buggy.
It was a great weekend for Tekin at the 2013 Cabin Fever and a great weekend of racing!
