Traxxas Steps Up Big with PRO LIGHT Purse of $8,500 for Top 10 Positions

The TRAXXAS PRO Light division is where the future heroes of Short Course are made and Traxxas is recognizing the drivers with an additional $10,000 in TRAXXAS PRO Light cash for every remaining weekend of the Traxxas TORC Truck Series. For each round of TRAXXAS PRO LIGHT racing, $5,000 in additional Traxxas cash combines with the $3,500 TORC payout for a total of $8,500. The payout is divided amongst the top ten finishers with the top spot on the podium receiving $2,500 in cash!

Traxxas owner and PRO 4X4 driver Mike Jenkins teamed up with TORC principles Mitch Covington and Ricky Johnson to put this special award in place. Ricky Johnson stated, "The enthusiasm for PRO Light keeps building and having the additional support from Traxxas just makes it even more exciting. I'm most pleased that the payout increases through 10 places and not just the top finishers. It's a generous show of support for this dedicated group of racers." Mike Jenkins said, "PRO Light is a driver's class, and the racing action is always fiercely competitive. It is not about extreme power, it's about carrying big speed through the corners and maintaining momentum. It's a fast class, which makes you pay for your mistakes. We are proud to support the growth in PRO Light and inject this extra cash incentive to help the teams." The total TRAXXAS PRO LIGHT division payout is now $17,000 per weekend!
