2020 Southern Nationals - A Rough Ride To The Podium (Updated)

Описание: Follow along with JConcepts Team Drivers Ryan Maifield, Spencer Rivkin, Dakotah Phend and Jackson Brunson as they battle their way through an amazing yet rough track at the 2020 Southern Nationals in West Monroe Louisiana.

The JConcepts Team made the trip to West Monroe to compete in the 2020 Southern Nationals This was the first year RaceTime Entertainment put on this particular event as it was previously hosted by a different organization. As always, Dave Leikam and his crew did not disappoint! The track layout was masterminded by Bobby Moore and his RC Track Masters team. The track featured a drop down that was essentially a dirt wall into a 180 turn through a giant cross over section. The track also featured a 6 pack and a double where drivers could catch some big air.

For tires this weekend we experimented with a few options. The team started with green Reflexes and went up to the blue compound later on in seeding. As the weekend progressed they experimented with harder compounds. Ultimately, Maifield decided to use the Stalkers in the mains in the A2 compound while Phend used the Reflexes. The track conditions were relatively dry, a little dusty, but also had a nice groove. As the weekend progressed the track did become bumpy and develop ruts. It was important for drivers to keep the same lines every lap and know their personal limits as the track changed.

Qualifying went off without a hitch and Ryan Maifield went 9 for 9 TQ’ing all the pro heats!
