2023 JConcepts INS Finals Series Report

The 2023 INS series is complete! The team traveled to Hobby Action raceway for the finals this past weekend with over 250 entries racing for a chance at an overall INS title. The Hobby Action crew put in a fantastic layout and was well stocked with all the latest JConcepts products as well as products from our sponsors! Racers showed up Thursday and Friday for 2 days of practice before Qualifying began on Saturday.

As drivers came to grips with the surface, the standard Smoothie 2.0 with gray insert combination was used by most in all classes. Some drivers did opt to use RM2 Front Inserts in 4wd while most chose to use the out of the package combination. All the heavy hitters were in attendance in the stock and modified class made for not only great racing to come, but also close battles for the overall championships.

All 3 rounds of qualifying were ran on Saturday with a best 2/3 qual points format. The following racers topped the charts for JConcepts!

2wd Modified Buggy: 1st Spencer Rivkin, 3rd Tom Rinderknecht
4wd Modified: 1st Davey Batta, 2nd Dakotah Phend, 3rd Spencer Rivkin

The 2wd Modified title was yet to be decided between Broc Champlin and Aydin Horne with Aydin leading the points going into the finals. Aydin would have the upper hand starting 2nd in qualifying with Broc starting 4th. Luckily their fellow competitors would show respect all day Sunday and allow the guys to battle it out for the title. Aydin would strike first winning A1 ahead of Broc and Spencer Rivkin. Broc would take the win in A2 fighting from 4th to give himself a shot at the event win as well as the overall title. A3 would again see Champlin take the win giving him the overall for the weekend as well as the title. Spencer Rivkin would end up 2nd overall on the weekend with Aydin having to settle for 3rd.

2wd Modified: 1st Broc Champlin (JC), 2nd Spencer Rivkin (JC), 3rd Aydin Horne

4wd Modified was very similar to 2wd with Broc battling for an overall series title in this class as well, this time with Dakotah Phend. Dakotah would get the upper hand in qualifying starting 2nd with Broc starting 4th. The difference in 4wd would be neither driver would win the event. Davey Batta would stay calm, cool, and collected to win A1 and A2 in the class and take the event win! Broc would finish 2nd in A1 and A2 and take the win in A3 which was enough to give him 2nd and the overall title in this class as well. Dakotah Phend would round out the podium in 3rd with 3/4/2 finishes.
