2016 JConcepts Outback Shootout

2016 J Concepts Outback Shootout

20160307_161321

260 entries would show up to this years 2016 J Concepts Outback Shootout event and see the amazing track prepared by KJ(Kevin Jelich), Jerry Douglas and the AMain Performance Hobbies track crew. The track would consists of 7 jumps, lots of passing sections combined with a fast race surface. This combination combined with the great announcing of Justin Wilde would make for an epic weekend of racing.

What an event it was. The event went on as one of the best events in Outback Raceways history. The event would have respectful racing, traffic being called and guys walking off the drivers stand congratulating each other on their race. As one onlooker would quoteโ€ Absolutely the BEST atmosphere of any race Iโ€™ve been to. Energy was positive, sportsmanship was at an all-time high. I got to eaves drop on the camaraderie, congratulations, sincere apologies, and handshakes as competitors leave the driverโ€™s stand, and it was heartwarming to witness.โ€œ. When the AMain staff would walk through the pits all we saw was guys laughing, sharing stories, joking with each other and just a community of racers having a good time. As KJ would quoteโ€ Its great to see this community of racers come together every time and to see the camaraderie and respect these racers have for each other.ย  It just makes me want to do this better and better every time for the racers โ€œ.

Friday provided a full day of practice with track opening at 7am and closing at 10pm. Track needed to be grooved in and with the rain and humidity outside it was taking its sweet time. The track crew tried everything from constant blowing, turning the building into a sauna and then turning the building into an ice box. The Air conditioner ice box turned out to be the answer as the track would start to come in late Friday night right but it would be till Saturday morning practice till it was consistent. Saturday morning at 7 am doors would open to 260 entries for the weekend. A 2.5 hours practice session would take place followed by an intense three rounds of qualifying . Saturday would run right on schedule almost to the minute and would wrap up a long hard fought day of qualifying by little before 10pm. Sunday would open up to a short 50 minute practice session leading into the final intense round four of qualifying.ย  Mains would be posted right on time and probably one of the most exciting TQ dash for cashes won by Mason Eppley would go on as seen here in the race video: https://youtu.be/d1cWvCdCQBY. Shorty there after main events would get under way right on time with great bump up battles going down with top two moving onto the the next main. It would ultimately come down to the 8 Minute A Main events which gave us some of the best shows of the day and our Top three for the event photos.

Congratulations to the top three in all classes. And thanks to everyone who came through those front doors and made this the event it was. Check your calendars as the 2016 JConcepts Summer Nationals is in July and we would love to have you back out: http://tracks.amainhobbies.com/event/2016-jconcepts-summer-nationals/
