Tekin powered podium at the 2013 Dirt Nitro Challenge

The 2013 Dirt Nitro Challenge concluded this pat weekend. Racers from all over the world would converge to this unique event that plays host to not only 1/8 Nitro racing but 1/10 Short Course, 1/5 Scale, and even a 1/10 Gas Truck revival class!

Tekin would dominate the qualifying of the 4wd SC division with drivers Ryan Lutz and Austin Blair both taking rounds of their own. In the final the racing would be tight and fierce and come down to who made the least amount of mistakes. In the end Tekin's own Austin Blair would take the overall win with his Tekin Rx8/Pro 4 powered Tekno truck. Right behind him was Tekin powered Ryan Lutz with his Tekin Rx8/Pro 4 Team Durango truck. 3rd place would be held by Tyler Vik with his Tekin Rx8/Pro 4 powered Tekno truck. All 3 drivers chose the Rx8 and Pro 4 4600 motor to take a podium position.

 Tekin team drivers would also fill the Amain having over half of the Amain running Tekin. Tq Austin Blair would run a good race but bobble hard around the 6 minute mark allowing teammate Ryan Lutz to get by followed closely by TLR's Billy Fisher.  Lutz would then bobble allowing Fisher to get by and run away with the race. Tekin would still have 3 of the top 5 drivers in the end!
