The Wicked Weekend 2026 will go down as one of the biggest off-road races of the summer in the United States. Held July 23-26 in Georgia, the event drew more than 750 entries across thirteen classes, from Pro to Sportsman. And despite catastrophic weather — torrential rain flipped the track upside down over the weekend — drivers running JConcepts dominated the podiums.
Wicked Weekend 2026: Ryan Maifield wins Pro Truggy
The performance of the weekend belongs to Ryan Maifield, winner in Pro Truggy. Behind him, Mason Fuller took third, ahead of Seth VanDalen (4th) and Jonah Wilson (5th).
In Pro Buggy, Brandon Rose finished second, followed by Seth VanDalen (3rd), Mason Fuller (4th) and Jonah Wilson (5th). In Pro Ebuggy, Spencer Rivkin posted the best JConcepts result with a second-place finish, ahead of Brandon Rose (3rd) and Ryan Maifield (4th).
The intermediate classes too
The haul continued further down the results sheet. Benny Komerian won Open Etruggy ahead of Sean Kochik and Maddy Long. In Intermediate Buggy, Donato Tradardi won ahead of Colton Furnari, Maddy Long, Benny Komerian and Gabriel Santiago.
Ben Decker took the win in Intermediate Ebuggy ahead of Patrick Rossiter and Donato Tradardi, who backed it up with another win in Intermediate Truggy.
The JConcepts tires that made the difference
With a soaked track that kept evolving all weekend, tire choice proved decisive. JConcepts drivers mainly worked with:
- Relapse 1/8 buggy (p/n 4034) and Relapse 1/8 truggy (p/n 4006)
- Double Bar 1/8 buggy (p/n 4111) and Double Bar 1/8 truggy (p/n 4117)
- Dirt Web 2 1/8 buggy (p/n 4105)
On the accessories side, drivers relied on Mono wheels, S15, P2 and F2 bodies, Razor wings, radial bearings and Fin Titanium hardware.
Key takeaway
The Wicked Weekend 2026 confirms the strength of the JConcepts team in 1/8 off-road, in both nitro and electric, on a track made extremely difficult by rain. A solid dress rehearsal ahead of the end of the outdoor season.
