2013 JConcepts Fall Indoor Nationals – Report

JConceptsFallIndoorTrack

A record turnout of 430 entries showed for the JConcepts 2013 Fall Indoor Nationals at R/C Excitement in Fitchburg, MA. The race energy was electric inside the building at R/C Excitement and racers came in from as many as 14 states to compete against the likes of Ryan Maifield, Dustin Evans and newly crowned IFMAR World Champion, Steven Hartson. Todd Anderson designed and built a fresh layout for the event which contained step-ups, dual pizza shaped table tops, step-downs and rhythm jump sections along the back wall. The layout was extremely challenging to say the least and with a track packed with 10 drivers, racing was as intense as it gets. As the weather turns to the Fall season these drivers are ready to race, and judging from the turnout, the Fall Indoor Nationals is the can’t miss event on the east coast.

Martin Bayer wins Czech nats Rd6

The 6th round of the Czech 1/8th buggy nationals took place in Dolni Bukovsko. Although missing one round of the championship Xray’s Martin Bayer had good chances to win the overall championship on home soil after wrapping up this year’s German championship. The practice rounds had to be cancelled due to a water soaked track so everyone had to jump directly into qualifying and at the end it was Martin Bayer who took the overall TQ. At the start of the final Martin went out in front but soon got hit by backmarkers which cost him around half a lap and he was down to third position. He then soon recovered and was able to take the lead again. At he end he not only took the win in front of Xray teammates David Kukla and Jiří Mára but also the overall 2013 championship title.
