2008 The Dirt Nitro Challenge
 
Date: Feb. 21-24, 2008
Where: The Nitro Pit in Whittman, AZ

Pro-Line's own Ryan Cavalieri takes home two titles from this year's 2008 The Dirt Nitro Challenge at the Nitro Pit in Whittman, AZ. In Pro Truggy, Cavalieri took the top spot about mid point and never looked back, pulling out to a comfortable lead and taking the win. In Pro Buggy it was an all out battle between Truhe and Cavalieri in the closing laps. Cavalieri right on Truhe's tail putting on the pressure and waiting for a chance to pass Mike. With around 2 minutes to go Cavalieri's persistence paid off when Truhe's car twitched a little in a corner allowing Ryan to slide in underneath him to take over the top spot. And let's not forget the 40+ guys, Pro-Line's Kris Moore dominated the 1:8 Buggy class by a 2 lap lead. And Team driver Todd Jonas cleans house in the 40+ 1:8 Truck class. Todd put power to the ground lap after lap wth LPR Hole Shots and Pro-Line Velocity wheels. At the end of the 45 minute main, Todd managed to put about a lap on second place. Congrats on your victory Todd!

Congratulations Ryan, Kris, & Todd on an outstanding performance!
