Held in Spokane Washington the 11th Annual Dave Mapston Memorial race was held October 21-23rd. In 1/8 Buggy Jeremy Potter would dominate Rd1 qualifying by over 18 seconds. Rd 2 was no different other than he managed a 24 second gap with his Tekin Powered Hotbodies Ve8! Jeremy would sit out Rd3 and focus on the triple A mains. While leading in A1 Jeremy suffered a mechanical (skid plate) he would come back with a vengeance in Rd 2 taking the overall win by lapping all the way up to 2nd place. In A3 Jeremy would again put down lap times that would allow him to lap up to 5th to take the overall win. Team Tekin would power the Top 8 in e-buggy with Rx8’s and T8 motors.
