Austin Blair wins at Tekin Shootout

Amain’s Silver Dollar Raceway recently played host to the 2017 Tekin Shootout. In the Pro Nitro Buggy class the 20-minute A-main saw a close fight between Austin Blair (SWorkz) and CJ Jelin (Xray) who constantly swapped positions due to being on different fuel strategies. In the closing stages and after the final fuel stop, Austin got into the lead again and even after a hard chase CJ was not able to catch him again meaning Austin would take the win a narrow 0.132 seconds in front of CJ while Mason Eppley (Tekno) rounded out the top 3.

The Finnish Winter Jumps Offroad Indoor Championship concluded this past weekend with the final round being held at the Model Expo Toy Fair in front of thousands of spectators. Due to the unfortunate clash with the EOS finale in Austria some of the Finnish frontrunners such as Haatanen, Salmela and Valander would be absent from the meeting. This made way for young and talented Konsta Saarinen who had a shot at both the 2WD and 4WD titles. Ultimately he would clearly dominate the weekend, taking the TQs and wins in both classes and with him the double title.
