There were 197 entries at\u00a0this event.<\/p>\n<p>Friday morning practice started and went to 8 PM that night. The track looked to be a fairly easy layout but drivers quickly discovered just the opposite. The cold and damp surface was slick and quickly developed lots of ruts, breaking bumps and holes throughout. Then there was the woop section which was a handful by itself.<br \/>\nOn Saturday John Michael McGinty was able to TQ 3 out of the 4 rounds of qualifiers earning him the overall TQ.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday morning the mains kicked off bright and early. There were triple A mains for all electric classes.<br \/>\nJM was able to lead the A1 main from start to finish to take the win.\u00a0In A2 JM swapped the lead back and forth with Mugen teammate Barry Pettit. With 3 laps to go Barry slipped by John to take the lead. The next lap John Michael slipped by Barry on the inside right after the crossover section. JM was able to keep his lead and won the A2 main giving him 1st place overall for the class.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2015-SIC-Pro-EBuggy-Podium.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1954\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2015-SIC-Pro-EBuggy-Podium.jpg\" alt=\"2015 SIC Pro EBuggy Podium\" width=\"720\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2015-SIC-Pro-EBuggy-Podium.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2015-SIC-Pro-EBuggy-Podium-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2015-SIC-Pro-EBuggy-Podium-172x150.jpg 172w, https:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/2015-SIC-Pro-EBuggy-Podium-150x131.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;John Michael&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/readerschoice.html\"><strong>Tekin Gen2 RX8 ESC<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/readerschoice.html\"><strong>Gen2 T8 1900<\/strong><\/a> motor performed flawless all weekend.
