Clean sweep for Maifield in A1 at JConcepts Finals

Clean sweep for Maifield in A1 at JConcepts Finals

Team Associated’s Ryan Maifield completed a clean sweep in the opening round of Mains at the JConcepts Indoor National Series Finals, winning A1 in all three classes he is contesting at the Omaha, Nebraska event. First up for the Arizona ace was 4WD Buggy in which the Top Qualifier took the win over TLR’s JR Mitch, but only after his team-mate made a mistake on lap 8 rolling at the end of the straight and braking a front arm. There was little time to think about the win as up immediately after was the one class for which the overall title is still to be decided 2WD Short Course. Again starting from the pole, Maifield lead this entertaining encounter from start to finish seeing off very close attention from title rivals Harston and TLR’s Dustin Evans. Evans, who didn’t start the 4WD Main after stripping a spur gear in the warm-up, would finish second with Hartson claiming third from 5th on the gird.
