| JConcepts Ellipse stadium truck tyres Posted: 11 Sep 2019 10:40 AM PDT JConcepts have announced the release of the Ellipse stadium truck tyres in Aqua and Silver compound. The Ellipse, named after the center bar built into the tread, is a compliment to successful tires such as the Dirt Webs and Space Bars. The “web” style tire was built to compete on smooth high-grip indoor and outdoor surfaces which require a finely detailed connected bar pattern. The center section of the tire is a home run utilizing a diamond “home plate” footprint to provide massive forward bite and increased longevity. The web of extensions are unique and have a directional touch giving the racer the ultimate tune-ability. The Ellipse has already won a Stock National title in the hands of Matthew Gonzalez at the 2019 JConcepts Stock Nationals at OCRC Raceway. The compound of choice for most indoor events, the exclusive gold compound, has shown to produce consistent results for racers week after week. Now, the Ellipse is also available in aqua and silver compound. Included in each package are the Dirt-Tech closed cell inserts.

| Danish 1/8th Off-road Nationals Rd7 – Report Posted: 11 Sep 2019 04:38 AM PDT The 7th and final round of the Danish 1/8th Off-road Nationals was held at the Greve RC Center last weekend. Due to heavy rain the E-Buggy and Nitro Truggy portion of the event had to be cancelled but luckily the track dried up for Sunday so the Nitro Buggy race would be held at planned. After some entertaining qualifiers it was Daniel Bubel with the overall TQ and after the semis it was again Daniel on top with Peter Harder starting from P2. At the start of the main final there was some tight racing between the top 3. Some minutes into the race Peter was able to take the lead from Daniel and get away from the pack in a dominating and consistent matter. Behind him, Daniel Bubel and Nikolai Lamberts would switch back and forth leading and defending. But a flameout from Daniel would see Nikolai move up to 2nd place and this is how the race ended with Daniel in 3rd. As it was the final race of the season, also the national champions would be crowned with Daniel Bubel taking the Nitro Buggy crown from Nikolai Lamberts and Peter Harder. E-Buggy would see Daniel Bubel taking another Danish championship as Mads Puggard took the vice-championship and Mikkel Vesterled completed the overall top 3.

In qualifying it was a fight between Peter Pinisch and Hupo Hönigl in both classes with Hupo holding the upper hand to take the overall TQ in both classes. In the finals Lukas Grainer joined the club which made it a tight 3-way battle.
