Pro-Line Race Report:
 
This Past Weekend was the 2nd annual Novak Off-road Race hosted by Hobby Plex at Omaha, NE. The Event was sold out at 300+ entries weeks before the event. This year the air temps were in the 20s and 30s all weekend. This made for a cold race track but the moisture was there with lots of traction! Alex Eklund competed in the 17.5 SCT and 17.5 Stadium Truck. Last year he had won all 17.5 Class’s so he had his titles to defend and the pressure was on. This year’s Stock 17.5 competition in all classes was very tight and fast!
  
Since traction was high Eklund choose the New ION SC M4 tires for my SCT. The IONs where planted to the track All weekend and made the SC stable and fast!  
  
The race ran 3 Qualifiers on Saturday with 34 heats per Round. There was a last Chance Qualifier Sunday morning then right into the Single 8 minute A-Mains to decide the victor.  Eklund was sitting at TQ for 17.5 SCT and at the start of the tone for the 8 minutes he took off and never looked back! He went on to hold the lead the entire main and drove smooth to a 1st Place victory!
