2016 JConcepts Factory Tracks Invitational

JConcepts’ Austin Horne, Mason Fuller and Matt Olson Win Big!

The 3rd annual JConcepts Factory Tracks Invitational was hosted by RC Clubhouse and attracted 360+ entries. RC Clubhouse and Al Horne’s Factory Tracks crew put together an amazing track that worked very well for the heads-up Invitational racing. For the Invite class, they would run the Reedy format with 2 Wheel on Saturday and 4 Wheel on Sunday, with 5 rounds each day and 1 throw out. Control tires were in effect using JConcepts Dirt Webs in Gold compound, and nightly impound to prevent extra work being done to the tires, making every effort to ensure a level playing field.
