Smolnik wins 2wd Open SC at 2011 AMS

On one of the largest tracks a 1/10 Short Course truck will ever see, Andrew Smolnik won the 2wd Open SC class with his Viper powered TQ SX10 SC at the 2011 AMS in Alabama. Only running a 10.5 motor on a track large enough to run the best 1/8 racers in the world, the steady consistently handling of the SX10 SC let Smolnik drive to the win in the two final race combined format.

Ryan Lutz wins SC class at Manufacturers Shootout

The Alabama Manufacturers Shootout took place last weekend in Cullman, Alabama. Team Durango’s Ryan Lutz took an impressive victory in the intense heat with his DESC410R Short Course truck. After taking the opening round of qualifying with his DESC410R Ryan was unlucky with wiring problems in rounds 2 & 3 to see him miss out on directly qualifying into the A-Main – however with bump ups, it was still possible and Ryan didn’t disappoint as he dominated the B-main to go 13th on the grid for the A. After winning the opening leg of the A-main in dominant style, Ryan didn’t hold back in leg 2, launching his Tekin powered DESC410R from the line to pass 8 cars over the first jump on his way to take another leg win and with it the overall victory.
