Pro-Line had a chance to speak with Ryan Cavalieri about the event and here is what he said,

“Everything went well at the race overall. The track that Dana put together was good for the event. The truck main went to plan and I was able to TQ and lead the race from start to finish. I ran M3 Hole Shots Tires for qualifying and the mains.

Buggy was a little rocky to start but was able to I put together 25 minutes of good solid running. Good pits from my dad and Richard Saxton gave me an edge and I managed to squeak by right at the end. I ran the new M4 Tazer Tires for qualifying and the mains. I enjoyed some good racing with Cody.”
