The Wicked Weekend 2016

Racers from all over the US gathered at the Chicopee Wood Agricultural Center in Gainesville, GA for one of the fastest growing events put on by RaceTime Entertainment, The Wicked Weekend. With an unexpected entry count of 643 total entries this race would definitely live up to its name and be a Wicked long race. Because of the large entry count the race organizers decided to change up the race format from (3) 5 minute qualifiers to (2) 7 minute qualifiers to save on time. With many racers unsure about the sudden change it would prove to be a very wise decision in the end.

JConcepts drivers and supporters were on hand in full force and ended up with some outstanding results.

Alex Mueller took the win running JConcepts tires and accessories followed by Austin Hughes and rounding out the top three was JConcepts own Bobby Moore who is also responsible for building the awesome layout for The Wicked Weekend.
