Last weekend I attended the Texas State RC Pro Series round 1. In E-buggy I TQ’d and finished 3rd overall, and in Nitro Buggy I qualified 8th and broke in the main. I ran M4 Recoils on E-buggy and M4 Hole Shots on Nitro.

1st – Smiley Henn
2nd – Jason Branham
3rd – Reggie Tongue (TQ) – Pro-Line
4th – Jake Dellinger
5th – Tyler Haude

A few weeks ago I also attended the January Jam in Flowood, MS., where I finished 2nd in E-buggy on M3 Suburbs and 2nd in Nitro Buggy on M3 Blockades.

Thanks,
Reggie Tongue

With a surprising 141 entries in 7 classes, it was a long but very successful day of racing that lasted all day. At the end of the day, TLR/Pro-Line Driver Dakotah Phend walked away with the win in the premier Nitro Buggy class, with AMS Raceway’s owner Mike Sontag in second and Tony Carnes of M2C Racing rounding off the podium in 3rd. Dakotah used Pro-Line M4 Recoils in Buggy to take the win.

I had one TQ round in buggy and was on another one until I lost a rear spring retainer. ;(

In truck I had one TQ run going until my new motor broke in during the race and the idle dropped, causing it to die in the corners.

In Buggy I used M3 Blockades for the main and M3 Holeshots for qualifying. Along with Bulldog Body

In Truggy I used M3 Holeshots for Qualifying and the main. Along with Bulldog Body.

In the truck final, Drake lead from start to finish and took the win followed by TLR teammates Drew Moller in second and Cody Smith in third.
