Hefler takes SC Mod at RC Chili Bowl 10th edition

Running along side the famous 1:1 scale Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Midget Nationals held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, it was JConcepts/Team GFRP driver Jordan Hefler who came away with the SC Modified win at the tenth edition of the RC Chili Bowl.  Attracting just shy of 600 entries, the Scotty Ernst organised event is one of the biggest in the industry with its tented indoor pit area packed with manufacturers involved in the R/C oval racing scene. Concluding this year’s event it was again the final of SC Modified presented by Fusion Motorsports.  Being the favourite and actually taking a win were two different things and as it would turn out, the three front runners late in the race left the rest of the field behind by two laps. The trio of Hefler, Zac Rose and Kevin McNatt were steam rolling through traffic fighting for a pass.  With a couple of consecutive lead changes and the remaining laps running down, Hefler would have the lead at the right time to take the win. Rose would finish in the second spot, going one better than in 2023, just 1-second behind with McNatt completing the podium a further 6/10ths back.
