2012 AMS 3.0

Held in Cullman Alabama the 2012 Alabama Manufacturer’s Shootout is a tough race to win. Days start early around 7:30am and run until long into the night, mains went until 1:00am! Tekin dominated the electric classes at the 2012 AMS with class recaps below.

Pro E Buggy would have Tekin factory pilots all over the top positions. Ryan Lutz would take the overall Tq spot going into the double A main format. He would line up with fellow Tekin teammates Jeremy Kortz, Adam Drake, Jesse Robbers, David Joor, Ryan Lopez, and Barry Pettit. This would give Tekin 8 out of the 12 spots in the A main! The tone would go off for A1 with Ryan Lutz leading from his Tq position over his teammates. As the race would go on the drivers would settle into their positions with some of the closest racing all weekend. A1 would end with Ryan Lutz leading from tone to tone followed by Jeremy Kortz 2^nd, Adam Drake 3^rd, Jesse Robbers 5^th, Barry Pettit 6^th, and David Joor 9^th to round out the top 10.   A2 would again be led by Ryan Lutz never relinquishing his Tq starting position. The final tone would sound with Lutz in 1^st, Drake 2^nd, Robbers 4^th, Kortz 5^th, Pettit 7^th, and Lopez 8^th .  Final results would be a Tekin top 3 sweep with Lutz 1^st, Drake 2^nd and Kortz 3^rd.
