It’s a generous show of support for this dedicated group of racers.” Traxxas owner and Pro 4X4 driver 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!
