JConcepts Summer INS – Final results

The qualifying rounds during last weekend’s JConcepts Summer INS has been exciting and intense. Everyone was able to witness the true speed of one of the industry’s brightest stars, Spencer Rivkin, who has masterfully pulled off a perfect Saturday in qualifying winning every round and earning TQ in 4 of the Modified classes. Although, Sunday was a different story. With the last round of qualifying held in the morning, Rivkin’s perfect streak came to an end as his rivals were starting to figure things out on the high traction, full slick conditions. AE/JConcepts’ teammate Michael Schoettler, was able to derail the young Arizona Superstar by taking TQ in 2WD and 4WD in the final round. The momentum was shifting and everyone in the pits could sense the change as “The Rivkin Show” was now becoming a real battle for the title of Summer Indoor National Champion.

Joakim Niclassen takes Nordic Championships

Last weekend the Nordic Championships took place at Hvervenbukta, Oslo. The very high bite and bumpy Astroturf track had a lot of elevation changes. Although some of the usual talented drivers were missing from Sweden, Finland, and Denmark, the competition did not disappoint. By the end of Friday’s practice, Team Associated’s Joakim Niclassen was comfortable with his buggies, and was confident going into the weekend. Once qualifying started, both the driver and his cars were working perfectly and TQ was soon followed by the win.
