Northwest Short Course Nationals

by Rich on June 19, 2013

JConcepts wins all 3 modified classes at Northwest Short Course Nationals.

The 2013 Northwest Short Course Nationals were held for the fourth year in Pasco, WA. Many of the region’s best short course drivers make their way to this event every year to do battle. This year’s layout was fast and with plenty of technical features on the all clay racing surface.

Team driver Chris Bridgewater would insert his early dominance in both the Modified 2WD SC Truck class and the SC Buggy classes, taking TQ in both classes after just two rounds using the qual points system with JConcepts teammates Justin Wilde, John Walentia, and Mike Hudson joining the highly competitive Modified 2wd SC Truck A Main. Meanwhile Mike Hudson was showing his speed in the 4×4 SC class, nipping at the heels of the TQ but having to settle for the 2 spot on the grid.

JConcepts Hazard wheel in narrow width now available for the SC10B front.

Short Course buggies are high-performance racing vehicles and adjustability is always the key to success. Introducing the Hazard 12mm hex wheel for the front of the SC10B by JConcepts.
