JC Super Cup Championship Series Rd3 – Report

JC Super Cup Championship Series Rd3 – Report

Florida’s top racers celebrated Thanksgiving weekend at Jeff’s RC Studio in Fort Myers for stop number 3 of JConcepts’ Super Cup Fall Session. Jeff, Sam and crew worked long and hard to prepare for the record setting entries that began to arrive early Friday morning. With a recent move and expansion, the outdoor off-road track was still in its infancy having been built only a month earlier. The layout was perfect along with the preparation of the track surface, it was set to groove in for maximum traction. Mother Nature kept all racers on their toes throughout the day as a heavy cloud cover kept the sun at bay until almost 11 AM. The sun was working its magic drying the track surface and it was showing on the lap times as they rapidly dropped. Unfortunately a heavy mist moved into the area for about an hour and made this very interesting for all the racers. It made for some of the best, closest racing yet.


A very exciting Modified Buggy had JConcepts JR Mitch’s TLR 22 2.0 TQ the 16 car field of star racers. Paul Wynn and Jader Lopez mastered the B-Main for a chance at podiums. JR’s 13/5:03.518 time put him out front of the 10 car field. At the start, JConcepts Team drivers JR Mitch and Daimon Borkowicz took off with the entire field hot on their heels, Daimon and his Team Associated B4.2 took the lead on lap 5 with Ryan Eckert’s Kysoho RB6 following his every move. Ryan pushed hard looking for a way past Daimon for 7 laps putting lots of pressure on Daimon. On the last lap Ryan had a run on Daimon and jumped a roller into the lead, Daimon wasn’t done and made many chargers at Ryan for the lead, but Ryan was able to hold him off and back to the line by 0.881 of a second. JR Mitch came in 3rd, Billy Easton 4th and Chris Viesins 5th.

Modified 4WD Buggy B-Main winner Erik Everett and runner up Chris Richmond bump into the talented A-Main stacked final race of the day.

Daimon Borkowicz made his pass for 2nd on lap 9 as Ryan worked to get around for the remaining 4 laps unable to find room for a pass. JR Mitch ended 1st, Daimon Borkowicz 2nd, Ryan Eckert 3rd, Felix Law 4th and Brett Kingsbury 5th.

JConcepts team driver Billy Bruce paced the field of 27 in Stock Buggy with his Kyosho RB6 at 12 laps/5:04.782. Ryan Rios and Matt Bradford Jr. traded places for 5 minutes in the C-Main with a last lap pass by Ryan winning and Matt with the final bump into the B main. Peyton MacDonald led every lap of the B-Main as Robert Molina and Kevin Abbott went back and forth for the final spot into the A-Main. Robert made his final pass with 2 laps left and raced for the show. Slick track conditions were no match for Billy Bruce’s JConcepts equipped Kyosho as he led from tone to tone. All the great action took place in the mid pack. Charles Parsons from the 6th staring position made his way through to finish in the runner-up spot. Joe Sumasky was clean and consistent in P3. Bump up Peyton MacDonald was 4th and Riker Gatenby 5th.

40 and over Modified Buggy B-Main winner Joe Barbera and runner-up Jeff Lynn raced into the A-Main. Bobby Horan and his TLR completed 12 laps in 5:06.645 for the Top Qualifier spot. Bobby raced the track for 5 laps until Billy Bruce took the race lead. Billy had a nice lead as he began his final lap, when a lap car lost control in front of Billy and broke the shock tower of Billy’s Kyosho. After the tangle Bobby had moved up right to the back of his and the race looked to be over with an easy win for Bobby and his TLR 22 2.0. Billy was determined for a second win as he and Bobby made their way back to the line side by side with Billy finding the traction needed to hold on to the win. Bobby Horan finished 2nd, Tracey Proctor in 3rd, Rich Scafer 4th and Joe Barbera rounding out the top 5.
