As we already reported, the 2013 ROAR nationals warm up was held at Gulf Coast RC Raceway in Porter, Texas last weekend. The weekend event included the electric buggy class which provided some extra run time on the track and another opportunity for some close racing on the very high bite track. On Saturday there were three 7 minute qualifiers using rocket round to determine the starting order for the main event. Tekin driver Barry Pettit was able to qualify first by a small margin over Jake Dillinger and Tekin powered David Joor. The main started with a very close group battling for the top spot. After all of the top three swapping positions numerous times Barry Pettit was able to pull a small lead on Dillinger and finish the race in the first position. Barry was joined by Tekin teammate Brian “Smiley” Henn in 3rd.
