This past weekend marked the conclusion of the second annual Toys 4 Tots Shootout at the Flowood R\/C Park in Jackson Mississippi. This event doubled in size for this year and had close to 150 entries. The true reason behind the event wast to give the racers a great event to race without worry of weather and to raise toys for children who otherwise may not have a happy Christmas Season. Almost 200 toys were raised and the event was a success. The track is large by indoor standards and had a great layout put in by Marc Beck and crew of the Flowood Facility. It has great dirt and even with cold temps laid down a great running line and provided good traction. The event offered Nitro and Electric classes.<\/span><\/div>\n

Team Tekin’s<\/a> Alan Burton of Birmingham Alabama attended the event running Modified 2wd buggy and 1\/8 Pro Nitro Buggy. Alan was able to secure the win in Nitro Buggy, and took TQ honors and the win in the full field of mod 2wd buggies! <\/span><\/p>\n

Alan Burton: “The facility is amazing, and something to visit! We had a great time making the trip from Birmingham Alabama. My Tekin<\/a> powered TLR 22 buggy was very good at this track and gave me a lot of confidence to pick some of the faster lines and stay out front. My Tekin<\/a> system of choice was the Redline 8.5<\/a> with the RS Pro ESC<\/a>. On this combo I run very little timing advance and it’s smooth yet offers a lot of torque and speed. The thing I feel like Tekin<\/a> has the advantage with is the smoothness of the systems, making it put down the power better and lower the lap times!” <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
