The 2025 Mugen Challenge at LCRC Raceway was one of the biggest RC events of the summer—and the Adrenaline RC Racing Team showed up ready to compete with some incredible results across multiple classes. From overall TQs to hard-fought podium finishes, our drivers made us proud on one of the toughest stages in RC racing.
Bradley Lingerman: TQ and Win in Intermediate Electric Buggy
Another standout performance came from Bradley Lingerman, who dominated the Intermediate Electric Buggy class. Bradley secured the overall TQ and then carried that momentum into the A-Main, where he brought home the win!
Qualifying fast is one thing, but converting that pace into a flawless main event drive is what makes a racer truly stand out. Bradley delivered on both fronts, and this victory is a big step forward in his racing career.

Lee Setser: Double Podium & Nitro Buggy TQ
Adrenaline’s own Lee Setser had an outstanding weekend. In the ultra-competitive Expert Nitro Buggy class, Lee not only earned the overall TQ but also backed it up with a 2nd place finish in the A-Main. He followed that up with another 2nd place podium in Nitro Truck, proving his consistency and speed across multiple platforms.
Lee’s performance against some of the best in the sport shows the level of skill and dedication he brings to every event—and we couldn’t be prouder to have him representing Team Adrenaline.

Jacob Hardison: Battling Into the Expert Nitro Buggy & Electric Buggy A-Mains
In the stacked Expert Nitro Buggy field, Jacob Hardison showed grit and determination, bumping his way into the A-Main. Just making it into that final is an accomplishment given the depth of talent, and Jacob fought hard every lap to represent the team against some of the sport’s biggest names.
Jacob also delivered a strong performance in Expert Electric Buggy, where he qualified 7th overall into the A-Main. Competing in both nitro and electric at this level takes focus, endurance, and precision, and Jacob proved he’s more than capable of running with the best in both classes.
