Norwegian National Cup Rd2

Xray have a report from the second round of the Norwegian National Cup that was held recently on a 600m2 track with sharp turns and high grip in Spydeberg. The 19T touring class saw Truls Solberg take the TQ ahead of Markus Alvestad in 2nd and 13 year old Petter Berntsen in 3rd. In the finals, Truls took the win in the first 2 finals, but he forgot to marshall after the 2nd final and had his result nulled and in the 3rd final he had problems, so he ended the race in 5th leaving Markus Alvestad to take his first win from Knut E Enger in 2nd and Petter Berntsen in 3rd. In the modified touring class Adrian Berntsen took the pole position from Helge Johannessen in 2nd and Georg Ellingsen in 3rd. After a problem in final 1, Johannessen managed to take the win in the 2nd and 3rd finals to take the overall win with Adrian Bernsten finishing 2nd and Petter Solvberg 3rd.

Pro Line Crime Fighter & Hole Shot

Pro Line Crime Fighter

Pro Line have announced 2 updates to their extensive tire range with the introduction of the Crime Fighter to the company’s LPR range of tires. As the truggy class has evolved into pure performance trucks over such a short amount of time, the need for a tire that could meet and exceed those same performance needs was inevitable. Low Profile Race (LPR) means pure performance and Pro Line stretched the boundaries by offering less sidewall flex, greater response, more forward bite and all at a total weight savings. Also new is the introduction of the Hole Shot 4wd front tire, the first tire available on the electric scene in Square Lug Technology, which delivers performance at all levels of racing in just about every category of racing imaginable. Coupled with R3 material and your 4wd is ready for battle on many of today’s blue-groove surfaces.
