Amezcua goes ProTrac testing for Pro-Line

Pro-Line are reporting that their team driver Travis Amezcua has been working with the development team doing some short course testing. To do so, Pro-Line has outfitted Travis with a ProTrac suspension Slash and the goal is for Travis to provide users of the ProTrac suspension kit and Power Stroke shocks, car set-ups derived from Travis’s hands on testing. Travis hit his first club race with his Slash a Thunder Alley last night where he proceeded to TQ and win the main event. This was Travis’s first chance to run the new Hole-Shot SC, which provided excellent performance according to Travis.
