Over the weekend several of the TLR team drivers made their way to the Colorado State Nitro Championships, and they were nice enough to share this full race report from a TLR winning weekend!

OFFICIAL TLR RACE REPORT:

TLR drivers Matt Chambers and Lars Johnson attended the 8th annual Colorado State Nitro Championships at RAT Raceway in Denver, CO. Both Lars and Matt competed in the Expert 1/8 Nitro buggy division and qualified 2nd and 3rd respectively. In the main event both Lars and Matt ran into trouble early on but battled back. Matt took the lead around the 30 minute mark and never looked back; taking the win and his 3rd 1/8th buggy state championship. Lars ran into an issue with a tire coming unglued early in the race but was able to take the final spot on the podium for the Expert Buggy Division.

Two TLR privateers, Chris Aretakis and Sam Ford, also had a great weekend with their TLR vehicles. Chris took the win in the Open Truggy A-main and Sam took the TQ and win in the Open Electric buggy A-main.
