Isaacs, Xavier and Hanulec win at the 2025 AwesomatixUSA Summer Champs at Jackson RC

Our annual AwesomatixUSA Summer Champs three day race at Jackson RC in Jackson, NJ would fall victim to rain, like many of the events so far in the North East during the Summer of 2025.  

Overall, the rain couldn't cool the racing action with  Awesomatix drivers scoring 4 TQs and 4 Wins at the event.

• Modified TC (Sweep) - TQ + Win - Sam Isaacs
• Modified TC (TP) - TQ + Win - Sam Isaacs
• 21.5 TC - TQ + Win - Craig Xavier
• FWD - TQ + Win - Michael Hanulec 

Organizers would shorten the event to run on Friday + Saturday leaving Sunday as an open practice day after the track was dried Sunday morning.  The event featured the brand new Sweep Racing USA Works Spoke Rim and D36 compound tires for TC, FWD and LMH.  An additional class of Modified TC was also run on Team Powers 36SUV2 tires.

Big thanks to Al Sodano, Charles Bruno and John Incantalupo putting on the event and to all of the racers who traveled from near and far to compete.
