E-buggy was the largest class at the Fever this year and
definitely one of the most competitive over the weekend. Tekin Drivers Jeremy
Potter, Ty Campbell, Nick Buechler, Jayson Tjepkema and Lee Hackney were in
attendance and representing with great performances. Potter layed down great
runs in qualifying with his Tekin Rx8/T8 powered HB D812 Tekno and earned the TQ and
first starting place on the grid. Mains were 12 cars deep and full of battles.
Potter wrapped up the win after A2 and sat back to watch the battle ensue for
the A3. Nick Buechler took the A3 win and claimed 2nd overall with
his Tekin powered Associated RC8.2e with Ty Campbell right behind in the points
for a 3rd place finish with his Tekin powered TLR 8-E 2.0, Jayson
Tjepkema in 6th, and Lee Hackney in 9th.
Pro4 Short Course was another big class filled with battles
and after a three way battle for TQ between three drivers, Ty Campbell came out
with the TQ spot with his Tekin RX8 / Pro4HD MIP Pro4mance TLR SCTE, and Jayson
Tjepkema in the 3rd, also running an Rx8/ Pro4 powered MIP TLR
SCTE. A1 started off a little rough and Ty had to fight back for a 3rd
place finish and Jayson in the 2. A2 consisted of a very close battle between
Ty and A1 winner Tim Hethcox. On the very last lap a small but costly bobble by
Ty let Tim get a little breathing room and it was over after A2. Ty went on to
win A3 and secure the 2nd spot on the podium with Jayson taking 3rd.
Mod Truck seems to be making a comeback in the northwest and
there was a pretty good turnout at the Fever. Tekin/TLR Driver Shane Preugschat
came out with a win for the weekend with his Tekin powered TLR 22T.
Tekin/XRay Driver Taylor Petersen debuted in 4WD Mod Buggy
this weekend with the new Xray XB4 buggy. 4Mod was a challenge at the Fever but
TP wheeled great all weekend and ended up 2nd overall. Taylor also
TQ'd and won Pro Nitro Buggy.
It was a great weekend for Tekin at the 2013 Cabin Fever and
a great weekend of racing!
Off-road models, which are built with fully functional off-road suspensions, and a wide tire selection, can be used on various types of terrain. On-road cars, with a much less robust suspension, are strictly limited to smooth, paved surfaces. In the past decade, advances in "on-road" vehicles have made their suspension as adjustable as many full scale race cars, today. You really have a nice blog thanks for sharing.
