US manufacturer Tekno enjoyed a clean sweep at a weather interrupted Dirt Nitro Challenge, Ryan Maifield taking the Nitro Buggy win as part of triple victory while Seth VanDalen took the Nitro Truggy win in Perris, California. The 26th edition of World renowned track builder Joey Christensen’s signature event, Joey and his team putting in some serious night shifts to prep the track after heavy rains, two rounds of qualifying saw Xray’s Dakotah Phend secure the Nitro Buggy TQ ahead of Maifield, Team Associated’s Spencer Rivkin and the Sworkz of European Champion Juan Carlos Canas. In the 45-minute final Phend and Maifield would dual it out in very rough track conditions with Mason Fuller taking a turn at leading before Maifield delivered the victory by 5-seconds over Mason with Phend completing the podium. In eBuggy it was Canas who took the TQ but it was Maifield from ninth on the grid who won 10-minute encounter ahead of Phend while the Spaniard completed the podium. With Maifield also taking the eTruggy win, in Nitro Truggy the defending champion secured the TQ but a great battle with team-mate VanDalen saw the 8th place qualifier take win by just 6/10ths of a second. Spencer Heckert completed the all Tekno podium.
