Dakotah Phend double at JConcepts Turf Nationals

Last weekend saw the JConcepts Turf Nationals held at RC Madness in Enfield, Connecticut. Held on their very nicely presented astro turf track, the event attracted a quality field. Qualifying saw TLR/JConcepts driver Dakotah Phend take the top spot in both mod 4wd and 2wd, with the Team Associated pairing of Alex Kosciuszek and Dustin Evans completing the top 3 of the grid in 2wd, while in 4wd it was Alex K and TLR driver Aaaron Kothman. In the most popular class 17.5 2wd, Andrew Bishop came out on top from John Cravotta and Kaiden Voss, and in 13.5 4wd it was again Bishop on top, this time with Mike Rowley completing qualifying in 2nd and John Cravotta in 3rd. With the mod classes getting triple mains, Dakotah Phend was unchallenged and could take the overall win early with victories in both classes in the first 2 mains. In 2wd it was Alex K that took the runner up spot with Aaron Kothman completing the podium in 3rd, while in 2wd Kothman could go one better and get 2nd place behind his TLR team mate, with Dustin Evans in 3rd. The 17.5 2wd class was a single main that was won from 4th on the grid by Robert Smith, ahead of 9th placed starter Tom Bishop and 8th placed starter Aaron Rowley in 2nd and 3rd respectively as the top 3 starters ended the race in the final 3 positions. 4wd 13.5 was better for pole man Andrew Bishop as he won from Mike Rowley, with Brandon Campbell a man on the move to come from 6th to take 3rd at the flag.
