VP-Pro USA Racing Tires wins Round 4 of the FSORS!

Round 4 of the Florida State Off-road Series was held in Daytona. The weather was nice as 135 entries competed on the very technical and tight clay track. In qualifying, VP-Pro USA's Gene 'the machine' Hickerson had fast lap times but was plaged with mechanical problems ranging from broken shock ends to servo failures to engine flame outs and only qualified low in the B-main of 1/8 Pro Buggy. AE's JP Tirronen took TQ followed by Kyosho's Ryan Eckert and Xray's Nick Angelides. But in the main events, it was all Hickerson and VP-Pro. Hickerson moved to the lead at the start of the 20 minute B-main and lapped the whole field using Ultra Flexx Turbo Trax. Later in the day when the 30 minute 1/8 Pro Buggy A-main was up, the track was really grooved up, so Hickerson went with Medium Flexx Turbo Trax. JP took the early lead while Hickerson quickly moved from 9th to 2nd. By the 3 minute mark, Hickerson caught and passed JP for the lead. Soon after, JP dropped out with engine problems, handing Hickerson a huge lead. The machine went on to lap the whole field and take another easy win for VP-Pro USA Racing Tires.
