Round 4 of the 2024 JConcepts Indoor Nationals Series is done and dusted. The always excellent Hobbytown Hobbyplex in Omaha, Nebraska hosted a star studded event with an epic layout suited to all skill levels. Just under 270 entries joined in on the action from all across the country.
The ever popular JConcepts Silver Smoothie 2.0s were the tire of choice for most drivers from start to finish on the weekend. Drivers used a mix of thick sidewall fronts and regular fronts as well as RM2 and standard Dirt-Tech inserts.
With the entry count, the event jumped straight into qualifying Friday night. Running the standard 3 round format with the best 2/3 rounds counting the following drivers found themselves towards the front of the pack.
