Tonelli  Racing traveled to Laughlin, NV to compete in the 18th Annual Laughlin Desert Challenge on Jan 13-15th.  This event included two separate races, one on Saturday and one on Sunday.  The course was a 6.25 mile course and each day we were given the challenge of completing 6 laps within 80 minutes.  Though this is a shorter course, it’s very rough and a big challenge to complete with very little time to repair anything if you have break downs.

The team started off the 2012 S.C.O.R.E. Season with a first place finish and a double points race. Nick Tonelli drove both days, Dustyn Loppnow was Co-Driver on Sat. And they left the Start line 42nd in their group. Nick drove hard and crossed the Finish Line 5th over all and 1st in class. Sunday Jonny Williams Co-Drove with Nick and finished First in class again. The truck ran flawless both days. After the race Nick thanked his sponsors and crew!
