JConcepts is stoked to officially kick off the 2022 Indoor National Series! This is the 12th year of the INS series and with that, we’ve decided to switch things up a bit! New to the series this year is SDRC Raceway in San Diego, California! We thought it’d be perfect to visit in February making it our Winter Indoor Nationals. We arrived Thursday, ready to get on the track and set up for the weekend. The facility has many features such as lighted indoor pit areas, tire wash center, hobby shop, indoor 1:10 scale track, and an outdoor pit area as well. Check out the track layout below from various angles!
Tires were predictable, with drivers using Silver sanded down Ellipses or Smoothie 2s. Dakotah won with the RM2 foams in the front paired with the JConcepts Sidewall Support Adapters. In the rear, he ran the grey dirt-tech foams. As for tire usage, drivers only needed 3 to 4 sets per car to get them through the weekend which included 2 practice days, and 2 race days. The program remains the same as historic INS events. We had one round of seeding, 3 rounds of qualifying, and triple A-mains for the mod and expert stock classes.

Overall, the event was a huge success with 247 entries and a flawless program! We really enjoyed visiting SDRC and can’t wait to be back for the ROAR 1:10 Off-Road Nationals later this year. A big thank you to Sean Story and his crew for hosting a phenomenal event along with all the drivers that came out to race! Up next in the INS12 series is the Spring Indoor Nationals at Adrenaline RC Raceway! In the meantime, we’re gearing up for the Dirt Nitro Challenge at the end of the month!
