Pro-Line wins the ROAR Nationals

Congratulations to Team Pro-Line (Ryan Cavalieri, Adam Drake, Cody King, Dakotah Phend, Ty Tessmann) on an outstanding performance at the 2012 ROAR Fuel Off-Road Nationals hosted by LCRC (Lost Creek RC) Raceway in Oakland Mills, Pennsylvania.

In 1:8 Buggy, Pro-Line’s Ty Tessmann took control of the race, battling early on with Maifield. Dakotah Phend was making up ground every lap and eventually caught and passed Maifield and was hunting Tessmann down for the lead. Maifield left the race at lap 42 due to mechanical issues. This left Tessmann and Phend to battle it out for the championship. Ty was able to get by Dakotah in the closing 2 laps in a very close battle to the end (see the video below)

In 1:8 Truck, Ty Tessmann took the lead and was able to recover from a pit stop flame out that cost him two positions on the track but he eventually caught Phend and Maifield to regain the lead and never looked back, leading 56 of 66 laps in the 45min final! Phend took a close second only 3 seconds behind Tessmann making Pro-Line’s new 1:8 Truck Blockade VTR, a National Champion.
