Lovell Ends TORC Season on the Podium
Colorado Springs, CO 10/20/2011 - The 2011 Traxxas TORC Season is in the bag. Brad Lovell had high hopes for the series finalie the Cycle Ranch near San Antonio, TX. The weekend not only featured two rounds of regular season racing, but also the inaugural $15,000 Traxxas Pro Light Cup. The newly constructed permanent track at the Cycle Ranch was alive with heavy equipment when the teams showed up. Over two dozen brutal jumps chopped up the zig zagging course challenging the nerve of Pro-Light drivers in particular.

Lovell Fights Hard At Bark River
Bark River is the longest and fastest track in all of short course. While Crandon might carry more fame, Bark River hosted what is surely the fastest and most dramatic racing of the season. 15 Pro-lights took the track for Rounds 7 & 8 or the 2011 season. Absent from the podium, but not the battle was the #44 AMSOIL Nissan Frontier of Brad Lovell.

Dawson Kirchner Takes 1st and 3rd at Lucas Oil Off Road Race
The first thing I can say about the weekend is that it was HOT. I was so thankful that we were doing night races. Practice and qualifying on Friday went well and I qualified third for Saturday nights race. For a nice change this weekend we didn't have to be at the track till 3pm for the drivers meeting rather than the usual 7am meetings. Due to the fact I actually drove home to Huntington Beach every night and slept in my own bed which was much appreciated.

Torc Short Course Rookie
"“So you still want to give short course a shot huh?” asks AMSOIL race manager Jeremy Meyer
last January. I didn’t even think about the answer, my mind was already set. All I needed was a
nudge, an inkling of encouragement, and the support of few companies entrenched in off-road
racing.”I think I am ready,” I reply. Fast forward through six months of research, stress, hard work,
and hard lessons. I knew it would be hard, but I now have a newfound respect for those racing in
this, the hardest hitting form of off-road racing."
