Rock Western Pro National Final held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Salt Lake City, UT finished the season with a different winner in both the Unlimited and Pro Modified classes for the fourth competition in a row.  There were several battles over the course of two days fighting to be the winner in each class of this final race of the series.

    Both the Unlimited and the Pro Modified class had top three place battles going all weekend.  In the Unlimited class, it came down to the shootout where Dion Wakefield from Canada proved to be a huge threat by taking first place. Brent Bradshaw was hot on his tail with a close 2nd place finish, and Matt Messer finished 3rd.  In the Pro Modified class, Jesse Haines claimed the win over Nick Campbell, taking it down to the wire and winning the points lead with his shootout score. Troy Bailey took third in the class rounding out yet another amazing competition.  “Every single event in the W.E. Rock Western series has been won by someone different in the Unlimited and Pro Modified classes,” said Rich Klein, W.E.

  • TrailReady Racing Wheel launches new 20″ HD Series Wheel

    TrailReady is pleased to announce the development of a new addition to the HD Series.  Our new 20×9 will begin shipping in September.  The new part will be available for applications from 5-4.5 to 8-6.5 and will come in backspace measurements from 4.5″ to 5.5″.  MSRP is expected to be 450.00 and like all of our HD Series wheels, will include the one year unlimited replacement warranty.  We will begin taking orders for the first run of this heavy duty domestically cast and machined wheel in August 2010.  BFGoodrich has introduced a new line of 42″ Krawlers and Projects for a 20″ wheel and while this wheel will also be available as a DOT simulated wheel, we belive this will be the first 20″ beadlocked racing wheel to market that will handle that size tire in an offroad racing environment. The wheel is undergoing destructive testing and we will have pictures in next months newsletter.

    It’s amazing to see all the new beadlock wheel brands popping up in this economy and we’ve seen several come and go, but as of today, TrailReady remains the only US made cast racing wheel available. Adding a 20″ model is a long time coming and we hope that its success will help launch us into a line of racing buggy wheels.

    Sincerely,
    “el hombre de la rueda”
