Pro-Line wins Pro 1:8 Buggy, Pro 1:8 Truck, Open 1:8 Buggy, Open 1:8 Truck, Open 2WD SC and Open 4WD SC!

Team Pro-Line had the competition left licking their wounds last weekend at The Dirt Nitro Challenge. Warning was given when team Pro-Line drivers loaded both Pro Buggy and Truck Nitro A-mains with more drivers in the top 5 than any other tire manufacturer in attendance. The dominate qualifying effort by the world class team was capped off with a convincing 2 run TQ in the elite buggy class by Ty Tessmann. Ty continued his Hat Trick by winning the 1:8 Pro Truck main on Saturday and then the 1:8 Pro Buggy main on Sunday, fending off all efforts by the best in the business to lead all 66 laps of the main and finishing with a lap on the field. This crushing performance was complimented with wins in the Open Nitro Buggy, Open Nitro Truck, Open 2wd SC and Open 4wd SC classes which shows that if you wanted to compete and win at the Nitro Challenge, you had better been running Pro-Line!!

Congratulations to all Pro-Line Team Drivers for a great 2012 The Dirt Nitro Challenge weekend!
