Pro-Line spent the day with Ty Tessmann and Cody King testing out at Thunder Alley getting ready for the upcoming 2012 Nitro season.  We were able to snap a few candid pictures of the guys while they weren’t looking…

This weekend I won both expert classes at the January Jam in Flowood, MS. This was the second annual event and I won both of them, two years in a row. I didn’t have my TQ spots like I wanted too, but pulled it off in the main after qualifying 3rd in buggy and 4th in truggy.

I had one TQ round in buggy and was on another one until I lost a rear spring retainer. ;(

In truck I had one TQ run going until my new motor broke in during the race and the idle dropped, causing it to die in the corners.

In Buggy I used M3 Blockades for the main and M3 Holeshots for qualifying. Along with Bulldog Body

In Truggy I used M3 Holeshots for Qualifying and the main. Along with Bulldog Body.

Revelations Raceway in Ontario, California hosted the Airtronics Winter Nationals this past Saturday. The event had 206 entries which included top drivers Adam Drake, Cody King, Jeremy Kortz, Chad Bradley, JQ, Greg Degani, Drew Moller, and Schreffler. Revelation is a medium grip circuit with a combination of technical jump sections and fast flowing sections which provided great racing action.  TLR / Nova Rossi / Pro-Line driver Adam Drake took the top qualifier honors in both rounds of the 1/8th buggy and 1/8th truck. The buggy final was 30 minutes and went late into the night. The track conditions changed a lot for the finals as the track was very dry and low grip. At the start of the final Jeremy Kortz moved past Drake on the first lap, but Drake quickly made his way back around Kortz on lap two and never looked back. Drake won the buggy final by 29 seconds, Cody King finished second, and Matt Schreffler took home the final podium spot in third with his TLR 8ight 2.0.  

In the truck final, Drake lead from start to finish and took the win followed by TLR teammates Drew Moller in second and Cody Smith in third.

Pro-Line’s Ryan Cavalieri Finishes 2nd

The Reedy International Race of Champions came to an exciting conclusion with the top 3 (Ryan Cavalieri, Jorn Neumann and Ryan Maifield) in the same final race to determine the champion.  Maifield and Neumann started on the front of the grid while Cavalieri had to start from the back.  At the sound of the tone Maifield and Neumann shot to the front and had a fierce battle the entire race.  Maifield was in the lead until he made a small mistake allowing Neumann to go by.  Cavalieri pushed as hard as he could and passed 2 cars on the last corner of the race to finish 3rd.  The win by Neumann gave him the overall by 1 point over Pro-Line’s Ryan Cavalieri who fought hard to the very end.

Pro-Line’s MC Suburb tires and closed cell foams were used on every car throughout the weekend and performed perfectly.  One set lasted the entire weekend and provided incredible traction.  The 2012 Reedy Race was an incredible success and Pro-Line was happy to support such a great event.  Congratulations to Jorn Neumann on the win and to Ryan Cavalieri for taking a very close Second.

Hey everyone! Matt Wallace reporting (almost live) from the REEDY Race of Champions where Ryan Cavalieri is in the lead after 2 rounds, winning both his heats!

Check out the pic’s! More to come!

Be sure to check out our earlier post also.

My servo winch is mounted under the rear because the battery has been relocated under the hood of the Wraith. The winch line runs through a bicycle cable housing to my homemade fairlead in the front. To add a true since of scale to the Wraith, I installed some of Pro-Line’s new scale accessories (Coming Soon): duel optima batteries, inverter & fire extinguisher (note green & red dial).

This is Matt Wallace reporting (almost LIVE) from the 2012 REEDY race of Champions. Today is day one of controlled practice for everyone.

The track is fast flowing and fun with a tricky mogul section. Everyone out here is just trying to dial in their cars today for qualifying tomorrow.

Pro-Line’s Daniel Adams and I will be on hand during the entire event so be sure to stop by and say hello!
