NEWS:
Many eyebrows were raised, and questions began filling the forums and media as Trinity announced its sponsorship of the ROAR Onroad Paved Nationals one week ago. We sat down and talked with Ernie Provetti, CEO of Trinity, and cleared up the questions and rumors as his sponsorship does not mean that Trinity and ROAR have come to an agreement, but instead is his way of "promoting R/C racing" as Trinity has done for years.
While many of us were first excited to hear that Pro-Line was working with a leading suspension company in the supercross industry to develop new air shocks for R/C, we then remembered it was April 1st. The news was in fact a very well played April Fool's joke.
Long-time XRAY driver and midwest phenomenon, Josh Wheeler, continues his racing career with Team XRAY.
