“This past weekend the JConcepts Team traveled to White Pine, TN for the 2020 Psycho Nitro Blast. With the last major race (DNC) being almost 6 months ago everyone was eager to get on the track and battle it out. The PNB is an intense race that runs 24 practice sessions and Qualifiers in the middle of the night. Dave Leikam is the mastermind behind RaceTime Entertainment, a company that puts on a series of races each year. However, the PNB is one of a kind. Leikam not only puts on these big races, but he actually runs a haunted house business outside of the RC Industry. That being said he goes all out creating a venue filled with zombie-clown decor, fire the shoots off the podium, and so much more. The atmosphere is one you won’t forget.

It was day 1 of the PNB and the 24 hour practice began. The track opened at 6am and team drivers Rivkin and Brunson got there early to start cranking out laps. Throughout the entire day the team focused on learning their lines, choosing tires, and setting up their vehicles. They also had to think about how they were going to use the Joker lane each race. The Joker lane is essentially a short cut and you get one per 10 minutes of the race. For example, if it’s a 30 minute main you are allowed to use the Joker Lane 3 times and you can use them whenever you’d like. However, you cannot take the Joker lane on the first lap……”
