This past weekend the JConcepts Team traveled to LCRC Raceway in Oakland Mills, PA for the 2020 Mugen Challenge! LCRC Raceway is a beautiful facility with a fully stocked hobby shop, dirt oval track, 1:8 off road dirt track, RV hookups, and plenty of pit space. The entire team appreciated the beautiful change of scenery between the mountains, the river, and the gorgeous sunsets every evening! We arrived Thursday evening to set up the pits and got straight into practice early Friday morning. The weather was consistent all weekend being sunny and 90 degrees. In fact, the moment podium pictures were over it completely downpoured. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. This was LCRC’s biggest Mugen Challenge to date with 483 entries and 232 unique drivers!
The track conditions were primarily dry and dusty, but the facility crew did perform track maintenance periodically and watered it down. That being said, the team experimented with Stalkers, Reflexes, and Detoxes throughout the weekend. The aqua compound particularly was quite popular. For the mains, Ryan Maifield used Detoxes on his nitro buggy and Reflexes on his nitro truck. The track was a combination of fast and technical features, making for a fun layout.
