Day 2 is under way and is the first official day of practice. Things got started off with the 2wd buggy invitational class. Not much to judge right now as this was the first time all the invite drivers hit the track. They basically were just feeling out the layout and scrubbing in new tires. The usual suspects where at the top of the time sheets, but nothing special out of anyone.
Open class was much of the same, racers just getting accustom to the track and scrubbing in tires. We will get a much better idea after round 2 and get into a little more detail.
Stay tuned…

Once again JConcepts is on the road in the early New Year of 2012. This time we are headed to the 2012 Off-Road Reedy Race of Champions held at the world famous West Coast R/C Raceway. Traveling with me this year from FL are several young aces; Zack Genova, Daimon Borkowicz, and Jeremy Harris.
With the increasing resurgence of 1/10th scale off-road, this race is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated races of the year. The Reedy Race is a unique race that has a international field divided into invitational and open class drivers running only 2 classes; 2wd mod and 4wd mod buggies. The invite drivers will race heads up 6 times per class and points are awarded. The fewest points after 12 rounds of racing determines the winner. Open class will use the traditional qualifying and 10 car mains to determine the winner of each class.

SCT Bar Codes, now available in soft blue compound.
The Code of Silence has been broken at JConcepts, and the Bar Codes are out. The Bar Code design is the freshest new SCT tire design from JConcepts racing development and regardless of class and scale the Bar Codes = top notch performance. Like the name suggests the alternating bar design combined with the addition of the Y side bars provide uncompromised support for blue and black groove conditions. Now available in the successful Soft Blue Compound the Bar Codes are a specialty tire that when matched to the appropriate track can provide amazing results.
The Bar Codes are a part of the JConcepts special breed of tire, designed for maximum performance when new or used as the design allows even wear all the way down to the tire body. Bar Codes in new condition excel on hard surfaces that have taken rubber with either dry or wet grooved conditions. Worn Bar Codes excel on indoor or outdoor clay tracks where a minimal dust groove has formed.
The SCT Bar Codes are the current and defending 2-time ROAR National Champion.

Event: Warehouse Raceway 2012 1/8 Winter Slam $10,000 Purse
Track: Warehouse Raceway, Helena Alabama.
Date: January 6-8 2012
JConcepts Team Driver Max Flurer traveled to Warehouse Hobby Raceway in Helena, AL for their 1/8 Winter Slam $10,000 purse. There were 4 classes with money up for grabs: E-Buggy, E-Truggy, Pro Buggy and Pro Truggy with $1200 going to the winner of each class, $600 to 2nd, $400 to 3rd, $200 to 4th and $100 to 5th.
After the 3 rounds of qualifying were over Max was sitting 2nd on the grid for the E-Buggy main missing TQ by .5 seconds to Jason Branham. As the first of the double 15 minute A mains got under way Max wasted little time getting to the point as Jason jumped a little wide over the double on the first lap and Max was able to get to the inside and make the pass stick. From there Max was being pressed by Billy Easton who started 3rd on the grid for the first 6 to 7 minute until Billy had a mechanical issue and dropped out of the race. After that, Max had very little pressure for the lead until he got caught up in a wreck with some lapped cars and Jason was able to catch back up with about 2 minutes to go. Max was able to hold on for the win in A1.
