Day Two Photo's
Today was the first real day of practice for the TLR team on the Cactus layout. The track started out really loose and did really come around tell the very end of the day today. This made it really difficult to tell were everyone was in the way of lap times. You could run really well right after they would sweep the track but this would only last around 10min then there would be a lot of dust on the track which would make getting around difficult. The track layout is a lot of fun and should be a really good track for racing. They are doing there normal wet track club racing tonight so this will really help the track out tomorrow for our two timed practice heats with the last round seating you into your qualifier.

Day 1 at Cactus Classic (Set up day)
Hi Everyone,
Today we showed up at SRS in Scottsdale, AZ for the 2012 Cactus Classic. Today was set up day for TLR. we got the pits set up really nice and watched the little bit of practice on the track this afternoon. Track looks really fun and should be really good for racing. There is large jump section in front of the driver stand that I feel could make or break your qualifying run. We will have to see!

Short Course Showdown in Boston, MA
TLR and Losi's Frank Root, Matt Castellano, Anthony Mazzara, and Toddie Anderson all made the trip to Round 1 of Scotty Ernst's Short Course Showdown tour! Scotty chose to kick off the tour at Todd Anderson's RC Excitement in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, a great decision as RCE had a great layout, a rockin' atmosphere, and a strong turnout at 180. The "Showdown" has a unique format with all heads up starts in qualifying, making each run important to qualify well for the finals.
Stock NT 2wd SC (Pro2)– Anthony Mazzara had a great run going in the first round taking the early TQ. In round 2, he was able to also improve his time. Ultimately, Anthony would roll off the grid in the 2nd spot, but quickly moved to the lead. Anthony would run quick clean laps building a small gap. With about 1:30 to go, a mistake on the back quad section, Anthony would momentarily lose the lead, but quickly regained it. Finish up with 3 flawless laps, Anthony would cross the line first to take a well deserved win!
Pro4 (Modified SC) – Matt Castellano was man on a mission in qualifying for Pro4. Matt took a strong TQ in the first round, but really stepping it up in round 2 being the first driver to run 17 laps. Anthony put in a great run narrowly missing 17 laps in the 3rd round, but Matt responded with his second 17 lap run, improving on his previous time and securing the TQ honors. The mains started with Frank Root, whom had trouble in qualifying, winning the B-main to bump up to the A. As the tone went off, Matt and Anthony got out to a clean start, while Frank moved up to 4th in the running order. Matt had a bobble a few laps in, dropping him back to 4th, right behind Frank. Frank and Matt quickly caught up to the lead trucks, and made their way into the 1st and 2nd. Frank and Matt pulled out on the field quite a bit, and began to battle for lead. Matt put great pressure on Frank for a number of laps, but ultimately, Frank would keep his cool. Running fast, clean laps, Frank would pull out a small gap to take a well deserved victory!

The Season started with an amazing record breaking 385 entries. TLR was in attendance with many top drivers including Mike Truhe, Cody Turner, Team Manager Kevin Gahan, Ryan Dunford, Casper and Nick Lasley.

In the Mod buggy class Cody Turner was the man to beat in the A-main after TQing both rounds of qualifying with his TLR 22 buggy. The first lap was rough and put Cody on his lid, Cody's determination helped him recover and finished in am impressive 2nd place. Team mate Mike Truhe would round out the top five with his Orion powered TLR 22 buggy.
