Oliveras & Harris win at JConcepts Super Cup Rd2

Posted: 11 Feb 2020 07:26 AM PST

Round 2 of the JConcepts Super Cup was held at Dean’s Discount Hobbies in New Port Richey, Florida this past weekend. With 80 entries and some great weather, the racing atmosphere was very relaxed and fun for all. The track started out a little slick for round 1 of qualifying, but by round 2 the groove was up as racers began to rip the throttle and lay down the rubber. The traction continued to come up as the double A-mains rolled around providing some exciting action in all classes. When the dust had settled and in the 2WD Mod Buggy A-main it was top qualifier, Julien Oliveras with the win from Paul Wynn in 2nd and Ryan Casteline in 3rd.

In the 13.5T Wheeler class it was Ryan Harris with the overall TQ and also the win in both A-mains for the overall from Erik Everett in 2nd and Rob Offutt in 3rd. The latter two would end tie on points with the better end for Erik in the tie-breaker.

Expert 17.5T 2WD Buggy saw again Ryan Harris with the overall TQ and he would also come out on top after the double A-mains, however he had to go through the tie-breaker with Dalton Hashbarger, the latter having to settle for 2nd overall and in front of Dustin Spallone.

Czech Masters Series Rd5 – Report

Posted: 11 Feb 2020 03:40 AM PST

Round 5 of the Czech Masters Series was held in Prague last weekend, attracting a very competitive field of drivers. In the 2WD Buggy class it was Adam Izsay who was able to TQ all three rounds of qualifying with Max Götzl in 2nd and Antonia Kovalzski in 3rd. 4WD Buggy qualifying saw Max taking the overall TQ after coming out on top in Q1 and Q3 as Adam came in 2nd and Jiri Mara putting his car on the 3 spot on the grid. In the Truck class Max made a clean sweep in the qualifiers to take the overall TQ from Frank Hempel in 2nd and Marcel Dostál 3rd.

Max and Adam had some nice battles in the opening two 2WD A-mains with ultimately Adam holder the upper hand to take the overall from Max in 2nd and Antonia in 3rd, making it an all-Xray top 3.

A1 of 4WD saw Max and Adam again in a close battle and Adam was able to grab the win while in return it was Max with the win in A2 following a huge mistake of Adam. The decisive A3 saw Max starting on older tyres which meant a disadvantage on the somewhat low-grip carpet, however Max was able to hold onto his 1st place to take the win from Adam in 2nd and Antonia in 3rd, making it another all-Xray top 3.

In the Truck class Max would be able to take wins in A1 and A2 for an early overall win from Frank Hempel (Team Associated) in 2nd awhile Marcel Dostal (Xray) completed the top 3 podium result.
