SRNA's Falken Team Secures 2nd at Rock Crawling Event

April 17, 2024

Sumitomo Rubber North America Inc.’s Falken Tire team secured a second-place finish at the 2024 East VS West VS Texas W.E. Rock Championship Rock Crawling series event. 

George and Lora Leyner raced for Falken Tires in Mason, Texas. 

“The courses were very challenging all weekend - just finishing in time was a win in our minds,” says George.  

“As for the Wildpeak M/T Race Tires, I couldn’t be happier with them. I know we made a few gates and climbs that the others were not able to, and I feel the tires had a huge impact. They are sticking good on climbs and holding severe side hills and off-camber situations.” 

“We are very proud of George and Lora’s strong performance in this event,” says Douglas Fletcher, light truck and off-road motorsports supervisor for Falken Tires. 

“I am happy they were able to represent Falken and showcase the tough capabilities of the Wildpeak M/T Race Tires because these courses are no joke.” 

Western Series Round Two will be held at Cedar City, Utah from April 27 - April 28.
