Last weekend was the 2012 Sprint Car Nationals at Bumps and Jumps RC Speedway in Etters, PA. Factory Tekin driver Steve Salvas would enter the heaviest class Mod Sprint with well over 60 plus entries. Right from the word go, Steve’s car was stout and he knew right then, that a great race day was ahead for the Mod Sprint class. A few more practice runs on Friday night to fine tune the suspension and Steve was ready for Saturday’s event. “I didn’t play with my motor set-up at all as it was perfect. My Redline Gen2 4.5 and RS Pro were performing flawlessly, power was stellar, and I was coming back to the pits with motor and speed control temps I hadn’t seen that low before.”
Race day in the Mod Sprint class would consist of three four-minute qualifying heats. Qualifying was based on a point system, with the best two out of three rounds to set the finals. Then there would be one two-minute dash race to set the A final in starting positions.
Qualifying went great for Steve. The car was performing as expected, both car handling and power was class of the field. Steve would make it to the dash race which he won relatively easily. His win in the dash allowed Steve to start first in the A final and once it all over, Steve would take home the big hardware in dominating fashion.
Steve said, “A convincing win over a stout field of racers for my Redline Gen2 4.5-powered Sprint Car. Thank you Tekin for these products that allow us to run up front!”
