In the Pro-stock class, run with 13.5T motor and ESC combo kit and same gear ratio, it was Soeren Boy Holst who took the overall win after some really close racing. The battle in top was on between three drivers, Caspar Morgen who dominated the practice on Saturday, Nicolai Nielsen and Soeren Boy Holst. Saturday evening was full of showers, so the track was quite damp Sunday morning, but got better during the day. Nicolai won the first round of qualifying with Caspar on 2nd place and Soeren on 3rd.

Perfect TLR debut for Maifield

Ryan Maifield completed the perfect debut with Team Losi Racing as he took all three of his new TLR cars to victory at the JConcepts Indoor Summer Nationals at Outback Raceway in Chico, California. Having dominated the same event last year with Team Associated, the Arizona ace’s much anticipated first outing with his new team again produced an all concequering performance. Top Qualifier for each of his A-Mains, in the series’ two big classes, 2wD & 4WD buggy, he would wrap things up early repeating his A1 performances in A2 to claim overall victory. Also debuting TLR’s new 22 SCT 2.0 at the A-Main Hobbies owned track he made it a hat trick as he took the win of that class’ single A-Main.

Maifield takes A1 clean sweep

Ryan Maifield took a clean sweep of the opening buggy A-Mains at the JConcepts Summer Indoor Nationals at Outback Raceway, Chico, this morning winning 4WD with ease from Brian Strange but having to work a little hard for the 2WD win which he took from his protege Spencer Rivkin. Top Qualifier for both finals, in 4WD the new Team Losi Racing signing was able to pull clear as up to five cars battled over second with Strange’s Associated coming out on top of that battle from early lead challenger Drew Moller and Eric Albano. Run directly after 4WD, A1 of 2WD saw a mistake on lap 1 from Maifield allowing Rivkin to go to the front until he made a mistake at the same section of track a lap later. Dropping to third after further mistakes Rivkin would benefit from a mistake by team-mate Damion Borkowicz on the last lap which dropped the number seven starter back to 3rd.

Moller tops Q3, Maifield takes overall TQ

Drew Moller TQ’d a very exciting final 4WD Buggy qualifier at the JConcepts Summer Indoor Nationals in Chico but overall the day belonged to Ryan Maifield as he completed a perfect qualifying to secure his third overall TQ of the event on his TLR debut. The first time for Moller to top the time sheets having been the top seed for qualifying, the result will see the A-Main Hobbies driver start second on the grid with Q2 pace setter Tyler Vik having to settle for third after literally driving the wheels off his Xray in the final heat. Despite retiring from Q3 following his rear hub tower coming loose, Daimon Borkowicz will start as the top Team Associated driver when he lines up fourth.

Maifield 2WD Top Qualifier at Summer Indoor Nats

Ryan Maifield’s debut with Team Losi Racing is proving fruitful with him securing the overall TQ in offroad racing’s premiere class 2WD Buggy at the JConcepts Summer Indoor Nationals, the result adding to the overall 2WD Short Course TQ he took earlier with the all new TLR22 SCT 2.0. Having taken the opening round of qualifying, Maifield claimed the honour of Top Qualifier by again topping the times in Q2, this time round from the Associated of his young protege Spencer Rivkin. Surprising the field with his pace in Q1, Mark Pavidis showed it was on merit as he again completed the Top 3 with his TLR22.
