Jeremy Kortz wins Milestone SC race

Pro-Line are reporting that they headed out to Milestone MX Park two weeks ago for some Short Course action as Joey Christensen from the Dirt Racing had planned another great event. This was the first time the team would debut the Bow-Fighter SC thread design, which proved to work very well under track conditions. Louis Flood of Evolution Sports TQ’d the stock class using the new Bow-Fighter SC and after an early lead in the main mechanical troubles would put him out of contention for a podium position. The 2WD Open class would see David Orner take TQ all three rounds with Hole Shot SC front and rear, eventually taking second due to a late crash in the main. In the 4WD class, the top three used Pro-Line Hole Shot SC all the way with Jeremy Kortz taking the win on Hole Shot SC, Chad Bradley finishing second and Pro-Line’s own Gerardo Gonzalez taking third.
