Mazzara dominates 11th Annual Race against Cancer

This past weekend TLR driver Anthony Mazzara attended the 11th Annual Race against Cancer at McCulloughs Raceway in Sarver, PA. There were over 150 entries that included racers across six different states. Anthony TQ’d and Won the 1/8 Electric Buggy class with his TLR 8ight-E 2.0 while qualifying second in both 1/8th Nitro buggy and truggy. After the 30 minute A-mains in the nitro classes Anthony was able to pull off the win in both 1/8th Nitro buggy and truggy with his TLR 8ight 2.0 and 8ight-T 2.0 respectively. This gave Anthony the podium sweep in all three 1/8th classes. This was the 11th year of the event and their goal was to raise at least $10,000 dollars donating all proceeds to the American Cancer Society. Something that makes this more special is each year Anthony Mazzara raffles off his TLR 8ight 2.0 that was raced during the event and donates the proceeds to the event.  Anthony raffled off his TLR 8ight 2.0 to the winner of the raffle Mike Lloyd (seen in the photo holding his new TLR 8ight 2.0) adding an additional $400 to the $11,000 dollars for the weekends race.
