24th Annual April Fools Classic

Last weekend was 24th running of the April Fools Classic. The race has great history at Intermountain R/C Raceway and Pro-Line is proud to return again as headline sponsor for 2012.

Pro-Line Team Driver, Eric Willardson, had this to say of the event:

The hard packed clay surface was perfect for the Pro-Line Suburbs and Scrubs tires in MC compound which was accompanied by the Pro-Line Closed Cell Inserts.
The very technical and high traction track is home to Pro-Line and Team Associated drivers Rob Gillespie Jr. and myself.  Rob Tq’d all 3 classes he entered in dominating fashion, he went on to win 2wd modified buggy and truck.  Leaving 4wd open which was won by privateer driver Kobe Yonker who also chose to run Pro-Line tires and inserts on all of his vehicles.  When I asked Rob how the tires were hooking up, he smiled and said ” I cannot believe how much traction the Pro-Line tire combination is giving us.”  As far as for front tires, both Rob and myself chose to use the Pro-Line Scrubs for 2wd and 4wd.  Also in attendance was fellow Pro-Line driver Jerrit Knight who ran the ever popular 13.5 2wd short course class while using Pro-Line Suburbs front and rear accompanied once again by Closed Cell inserts, he went on to finish 2nd overall respectively. We were not the only ones that chose Pro-Line rubber and accessories during the weekend,in fact over 85% of the drivers were using the Pro-Line MC compound, including a 1-2-3 sweep of all the modified classes. The race had over 200 entries and was a ton of fun for all that attended.  So I hope to see you next year for the 25th Annual April Fools Classic.  -Eric
