JC Super Cup Championship Series Rd3 – Report

Florida’s top racers celebrated Thanksgiving weekend at Jeff’s RC Studio in Fort Myers for stop number 3 of JConcepts’ Super Cup Fall Session. Jeff, Sam and crew worked long and hard to prepare for the record setting entries that began to arrive early Friday morning. With a recent move and expansion, the outdoor off-road track was still in its infancy having been built only a month earlier. The layout was perfect along with the preparation of the track surface, it was set to groove in for maximum traction. Mother Nature kept all racers on their toes throughout the day as a heavy cloud cover kept the sun at bay until almost 11 AM. The sun was working its magic drying the track surface and it was showing on the lap times as they rapidly dropped. Unfortunately a heavy mist moved into the area for about an hour and made this very interesting for all the racers. It made for some of the best, closest racing yet.

Jefferies wins his last race for Team Associated

Round 3 of the BRCA 1/12th scale nationals took place in Tamworth last weekend. Once again the entry was almost full with more than 100 drivers competing on each day. The event would see Olly Jefferies driving an Associated car for the final time before he switches to Xray for 2014. Olly has been in dominant form this winter having won 3 of the first 4 national events in the stock and modified classes. In the Stock class on Saturday Olly set a blistering pace in the early rounds, but a fast run from David Spashett would see him line up on pole position for the A-final with his Zen Racing RS chassis. Olly was 2nd for Associated/Reedy/LRP. Championship leader Adam Catchpole failed to make the A-final after finishing 2nd at both of the first two events. In the A final Olly capitalised on a rare mistake from Spashett to then go on and win the race. A fine drive from CRC’s Mick Farrell netted him the final podium place.
