Amazing weekend for the ProTek RC Race Team in the Midwest. Jared Wiggins hosted the Fall Frenzy (156 entries) at the Wiggins Training Facility in Dixon, IL, and came home with the double victory in Nitro Buggy and eBuggy.
ProTek RC teammate Larry Wright IV also registered a double W with victories in Nitro Truggy and eTruggy. Larry finished third behind Wiggins and Dalton Balboa in Nitro Buggy. In fact, it was a ProTek RC Samurai RM.1 podium sweep in Nitro Buggy with Wiggins, Balboa, and Wright IV all running the Samurai power plant, and Wiggins reporting he was registering 10-minute run time with the Samurai engine, ProTek clutch, and ProTek 2135 pipe.
Just a little South, ProTek RC's Brandon Weekley won the King of the Hill series at the St. Louis Dirt Burners in Kirkwood, MO in both Nitro Buggy and eBuggy using a host of ProTek products, including the Samurai RM.1 engine in his nitro program.
Out west, ProTek RC young phenom AJ Rodriquez posted another PTK double with wins in both Expert Nitro Buggy and eBuggy at the Can-Am Northwest Nationals in Lyden, WA. AJ is powered up by ProTek batteries and the PTK Samurai RM.1 engine.
