In Lutz Florida, the RC Pro State Series kicked off at the World Famous Hurricane Raceway at Lake Park. VP-Pro was the tire of choice as the A-mains were full of drivers running VP-Pro Racing Tires. Non-sponsored driver, Brian Shook, put in the races of his life by taking TQ in both 1/8 Sportsman Buggy and 1/8 Sportsman Truck with VP-Pro Medium Flexx Turbo Trax. In 1/8 E-Buggy, it was Gene Hickerson who took TQ also using Medium Flexx Compound Turbo Trax.
