Aaron Stringer wins at 15th annual Rocky Cup

Aaron Stringer wins at 15th annual Rocky Cup

The 15th annual Rocky Cup in Australia attracted nearly 110 drivers and in the Nitro Buggy class it was Aaron Stringer who dominated the qualifying although being chased by Jason Dyckhoff but at the end Aaron took the overall TQ by winning four out of the four qualifiers. Aaron also grabbed the TQ in the Truggy class but a mechanical failure in the final meant an early end of his truck ambitions. After the disappointment of the Truggy final Aaron and his team were keen to make amends and he got a great start in the Buggy final and was followed closely by Jason Dyckhoff. The two drivers battled for 10 minutes with less than 10 seconds between them. However, Dyckhoff made a big mistake that gave Aaron another 7 seconds. After that Aaron started to drive away and he took a comfortable win 1 lap on Jason Dyckhoff in second.

JConcepts INS Rd2 – Qualifying Rd4

JConcepts INS Rd2 – Qualifying Rd4

The final round of qualifying at the second round of the JConcepts Indoor National Series was a barn burner. AE/JConcepts’ Spencer Rivkin stepped up to the plate in Modified Truck with another convincing win in Q4 that earned him the overall TQ for the class. Taking another 2nd place in qualifying and securing the 2nd spot on the grid was Kyosho/JConcepts’ Ryan Matesa putting in solid runs all rounds of qualifying. Brent Thielke would make the top 3 in the final round of qualifying and ties Harely Yoshii on qual points, but with a faster tie-breaker Yoshii will start 3rd on the grid for the main event.

BRCA 1/8th Circuit National Champs Rd2 – Report

The second round of this year’s BRCA 1/8th Circuit National Championship was hosted by the Wombwell circuit in South Yorkshire. This track is part of a big national karting circuit of which we use the last corner and half of the long main straight. The infield is tight in configuration with a series of 180 degree hairpins followed by flowing mid speed curves. What makes this circuit unique is various elevation changes which tests even the best drivers in maintaining a consistent average lap time.

JConcepts INS Rd2 – Qualifying Rd3

JConcepts INS Rd2 – Qualifying Rd3

Saturday came to a close with an exciting, action packed round 3 of qualifying. The track is becoming tricky abrasive and the tire choice is now more crucial than ever. Making all the right moves, round 3 saw the rise of Rivkin as he has found speed in truck and 4WD and letting the locals know why he’s one of the nation’s elite drivers. Unfortunately, most of the audience and perhaps some racers were all gathered around the TV to watch a little boxing history.

JConcepts INS Rd2 – Qualifying Rd2

JConcepts INS Rd2 – Qualifying Rd2

The 2nd round of qualifying at the JConcepts Spring Indoor National Series has proven to be just as exciting as the first. With one less qualifier to work with, the intensity seems to rise as we approach the day’s end. Racers have 4 qualifiers and only need to keep their best 2 to set them up for Sunday’s A-mains. In 4WD Modified, the crowd was treated to a spectacular show with another head to head battle between Ryan Maifield, Michael Schoettler, and Spencer Rivkin. All three drivers would trade tenths and laps for the entire 5 minute run showcasing their amazing talent. As the tone went off, Maifield would take another round to almost completely seal the deal in 4WD. The only chance left for his competitors is to take back-to-back TQs in rounds 3 and 4 and settle it in a tie-breaker. Schoettler would again finish 2nd with a 19 5:05.89 and 1.6 seconds back of Maifield. Taking 3rd would be AE/JConcepts’ Spencer Rivkin with a 19 lap 5:07.37 who seemed to have found his groove with his B44.3.
