JR Mitch does double at FSS season opener

This year’s Florida State Series started off at the historic Lake Park in Lutz, Florida (Tampa) recently. Over one hundred of the fastest racers in Florida, came out to start the quest of being crowned this year’s Florida State Champion. JConcepts Team driver JR Mitch was in attendance and was surely one of the favorites this year. You wouldn’t be able to find better weather or track conditions anywhere in the country. With the hot Florida sun beating down on the track, a black groove quickly formed on the track, with more traction then you could ask for. The track crew at Lake Park threw a few curve balls at the drivers, with some tight off camber turns and a huge table top in front of the drivers stand.

Maifield takes truggy victory at Sidewinder Nitro Explosion

Racing in Southern California always provides a solid test of equipment and driver, with intense competition from some of the nation’s best, the Sidewinder Nitro Explosion is always a racers end of year measuring stick. This year the crew from Thunder Alley ran a dry surface condition which produced slightly more tire wear but allowed the best of the best to stretch their legs a little extra with the IFMAR Worlds approaching. Ryan Maifield driving his Associated RC8T-CE truck kit was a Punishing force all weekend. Mounting up a set of the trusty yellow compound Cross Hairs for the 45-minute A-main proved to once again be the ticket. As usual, Maifield was spot on with his driving as he took the lead near the middle of the race and proceeded to drive away from the field taking another win with JConcepts. Ryan’s RC8T-CE topped off with Punisher body and Illuzion HD wing are back on top in Southern California. The marquee event of the weekend in the 1/8th buggy class, Ryan drove the RC8b once again to the top taking a well deserved TQ. Going to his go-to tires, the yellow compound Crossbows were perfect for the Thunder Alley dry track conditions. At or around the 10 minute mark with Maifield leading, a mechanical problem sidelined him, forcing him out of contention. Although a bad break, the ace driver from sunny Arizona will race another day.
