Keven Hebert double at 2013 IIC

Now in its 9th year, the International Indoor Championships (IIC) has become an unrivaled RC racing extravaganza. Top drivers from around the world gathered at the classic Riviera Hotel & Casino to battle for the newly introduced IIC championship belt. Race organizer Scotty Ernst once again created a challenging layout while Sin City provided plenty of after-hours activities for those that wanted to put the day’s racing activities behind them. Reedy/AE factory driver Keven Hébert won the 1/12 Modified and Super Stock 13.5 TC classes last year and was looking to make it two in a row. After four hard-fought rounds of qualifying, Keven started on the pole position in Super Stock 13.5 and in the third position in 1/12 Modified. Driving his Reedy-powered 12R5.2, Hébert took control of the 1/12 Modified A-final just past the one-minute mark and never looked back. With no serious challenges, he was able to comfortably win the class for the second year in a row and claim the IIC championship belt. The pole position start in Super Stock 13.5 TC allowed Keven to drive his Reedy-powered TC6.1 Factory Team prototype to an early lead. Unchallenged, Keven took the wire-to-wire win to earn his second championship belt of the weekend and second class win in a row.
