Lucas Oil Off Road Racing at Lake Elsinore

Due to a soft rubber compound and power of the trucks, a set of tires last for only one main event.

The massive rear ends of the trucks are built to transfer the power to the ground and absorb landings without failure.

Racing action begins with a rolling start, much like NASCAR, and the trucks launch off the first jump in a tight pack.

Kyle Leduc handled the Pro 4 class with ease and won both main events of the weekend.

The track was tamed between Friday's practice and the weekend's racing, as the jumps and obstacles were determined to be too much for consistent racing.
