Ty Tessmann and Team Tekin at 2012 ROAR 1:8 Electric Nationals

After qualifying for the 2013 World Championships by placing both his 2WD and 4WD Tekin-powered off-road buggies into their respective A finals, Ty Tessmann would continue at the Super Nats with the 1:8 electric and short course portion of the ROAR Nationals.
Early on it was clear that Ty’s Tekin-powered Hot Bodies D12 “Tekno-e” would be in contention for the win. Ty took TQ in all four rounds of qualifying giving him the un contested overall TQ for the triple leg A fnals.
In A1, Ty lead from start to finish taking the win, then in A2 he had some pressure from AE’s Steven Hartson who had a chance to take the lead when Ty barrel rolled and landed back on his wheels. Within a few more turns though, Hartson went wide giving Ty the lead again. Ty buckled down and never relinquished the lead, taking the win in A2 and the overall 2012 ROAR 1:8 Electric Buggy National title.
