On the way home from California today

Post by Seth VanDalen 1h ago Event Reports
On the way home from California today after an awesome weekend at The Dirt Nitro Challenge! I’m still at a loss of words for how the finals went.

I felt like I flew under the radar all weekend until main days came around. I had great qualifying pretty much across all classes. My Tekno RC rides were dialed from start to finish with JConcepts Inc tires and accessories keeping them glued to the rough and demanding surface. Ultimate Racing  engines kept me in the fight throughout the weekend but where they really shined was under the lights on Saturday and Sunday when it mattered the most. Team Exalt power in the electric classes gave me smooth and reliable power to put me up front. Sendit-rc servos kept me in control all weekend long with no guess work.

At the end of the weekend we went P7 in E Buggy, P3 in E Truggy and P1 in both Pro Nitro Buggy and Truggy! Such an awesome feeling to have everything come together like it did.

Thank you to Daniel Lewis, Matt Wolter, Matt Armeni,  Ilias Arkoudaris, Kayty Wiggins and the rest of the Tekno RC team for all the help and support.

Thank you to Jason Rouna, Paul Wynn, Hannah Hardison and Nick Wautlet at Jconcepts for all the tire help and awesome photos all weekend.

And finally thank you to my Dad, Martin and Sully for all the pit and Marshall help.

Thank you to all my sponsors for their continued support. I’ve got a busy schedule over the next few weeks and without all the companies below I wouldn’t be able to make it happen.
