Last weekend was the 2012 Sprint Car Nationals at Bumps and Jumps R\/C Speedway in Etters, PA.<\/p>\n

Factory Tekin <\/a>driver Steve Salvas would enter the heaviest class Mod Sprint with well over 60+ entries. Right from the word “go” Steve’s car was\u00a0\u00a0stout and he knew right then, that a great race day was ahead for the Mod Sprint class. \u00a0A few more practice runs on Friday night to fine tune the suspension and Steve was ready for Saturday’s event. \u00a0“I didn’t play with my motor setup at all as it was perfect. \u00a0My Redline Gen2 4.5<\/a> and RS Pro<\/a> were performing flawlessly, power was stellar, and I was coming back to the pits with motor and esc temps I hadn’t seen that low before.” Steve<\/p>\n

Race day in the Mod Sprint class would consist of: \u00a0(3) 4-minute qualifying heats. \u00a0Qualifying based on a point system, best 2 out of 3 rounds to set the mains. \u00a0(1) 2-minute Dash race to set the A-Main starting positions.<\/p>\n

Qualifying went great for Steve. The car was performing as expected, both car handling and power was class of the field. \u00a0Steve would \u00a0make it to the Dash race which he won relatively easily. \u00a0His win in the Dash allowed Steve to start first in the A-Main and once it all over, Steve would take home the big hardware in dominating fashion. <\/p>\n

“A convincing win over a stout field of racers for my Redline Gen2 4.5<\/a> powered Sprint Car.\u00a0Thank you Tekin <\/a>for these products that allow us to run up front!”\u00a0Steve Salvas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
