Lutz First and Second at Alabama Manufacturers Shootout

The Alabama Manufacturers Shootout took place last weekend in Cullman, Alabama. Team Durango’s Ryan Lutz took an impressive victory in the intense heat with his DESC410R Short Course truck and second in pro gas buggy with his DNX408.
After taking the opening round of qualifying with his DESC410R, Ryan was unlucky with wiring problems in rounds two and three to see him miss out on directly qualifying into the A final however, with bump-ups it was still possible and Ryan didn’t disappoint as he dominated the B final to go 13th on the grid for the A final. After winning the opening leg of the A final in dominant style. Then in leg two he launched his Tekin-powered DESC410R from the line to pass eight cars over the first jump on his way to take another leg win and with it the overall victory.
In pro gas buggy the competition was fierce. The track had a lot of flat landings and was low traction the guys managed to work out a set-up to cope with the conditions and with some changed still to try in the A final Ryan managed to put his DNX408 in fifth on the grid for the A final. Ryan eventually worked his way through the field up to second behind Ryan Maifield and as the time ran out that’s where things finished and another great result to back up his win in Short Course.
