Fun and spirited competition at the JConcepts Rage as the JConcepts crew took a trip north to the beautiful state of North Carolina for the 1st Annual JConcepts Rage.  Jason Ruona and Rob Meyer take home the wins in the modified classes.  The big news at the JConcepts Rage was the spectacular Carolina‘s R/C indoor track and racing surface.  JConcepts Events race director Fred Reep put on a flawless high energy program with 5 rounds of qualifying and triple A-mains in the modified classes and 10 minute A-mains in all other classes.  Several local drivers put on great driving performances while TQ’ing and winning many classes.  Jason Ruona, Rob Meyer, Max Fluer, Jon Noon and Zach Mote continually turned the quickest lap times and qualifying runs in the modified classes.  Jason Ruona with his JConcepts outfitted Associated B4 and B44 reigned supreme in qualifying by TQ’ing 7 out of the 10 rounds of qualifying and winning the first 2 A-mains in both classes. 

Rob Meyer with his JConcepts outfitted Associated T4 TQ’ed and won the 10 minute A-main event in the modified truck class. Carolina R/C’s own Alex Birmingham won the Stock Truck class while Steve Woody won the Short Course Stock class and Todd Walters won the Short Course Modified class.  Brandon Ouellette took his freshly prepared Losi 8ight-e to a well deserved 1st place in the electric 1/8th buggy class. The awards presentation made for a complete event with local model Heather handing out the awards in each class.Gold compound Bar Codes and Sevens was the tire of choice for the indoor surface in the 1/10th and 1/8th scale classes.  In addition to the Rage awards the appropriate winners were awarded a new set of the popular Gold Compound JConcepts tires during the awards presentation.
