The Race for the VETTS was hosted by the T&T Speedway indoor facility in Shreveport, LA with the event attracting drivers from the Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana region. With 23 entries the 2WD Modified Buggy was the largest class in the field of almost 80 total entries. Qualifying was based on your one fastest of three runs. Eric Hodge TQ’d 2WD Mod Buggy, being the only buggy driver to put in a 20 lap run. The 8 minute, 10 car A-final was pretty stacked with names like Larry Pryor and Mugen Seiki driver Drew Spurgeon. Overall the main was pretty uneventful and “a racers dream” for Eric as he put in a near flawless run to take an unchallenged tone to tone victory.

JConcepts 22 2.0 Finnisher mid motor bodyshell

JConcepts introduce the Finnisher bodyshell specially designed for the TLR 22 2.0 2WD buggy in mid motor configuration. Development with the help of Ryan Maifield, the Finnisher for the 22 is a completely tightened design, slimming the overall look of the vehicle. The body sports a smoother high-speed transition with increased flow past the side-pods that lends itself perfect to high-speed circuits. A single angle starting near the steering assembly ending at the widest point in the middle of the chassis adds driving consistency and improved “at-speed” handling. As track conditions have advanced through additives, treatments and maintenance, the ultimate aero package flows through the turns, produces traction and jumps with consistency. Included with the body come two 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance wings.

JConcepts Smoothies 1/10th buggy slick tyres

JConcepts introduce the Smoothies 1/10th buggy slick tyres. In some conditions in off-road racing slick tyres are the fastest way around the track. In damp weather, indoor clay surfaces become so tacky that the lower the tread or to the point of zero tread is an advantage. For years drivers have sanded, ground and hand sculpted tires in search of that elusive slick carcass for racing. Released as a 60mm bead mounting diameter, the JConcepts Smoothies mount straight to the latest generation wheels for that all important reactive feel. The carefully profiled tyre carcass rolls through the turns with efficiency while the maximum smooth surface area grips the surface. The tyres include Dirt-Tech 60mm inserts and they are available as 2WD front end 2WD/4WD rear tyre in Gold compound.
