A winning weekend for Team General Tire

July 1, 2009

Team General Tire added additional wins to the record-books for the 2009 short-course racing season, as Carl Renezeder swept the series again, scoring a combined Unlimited 2 and Unlimited Open class wins at the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series event this past weekend at the Lake Elsinore Motorsports Complex.  Adding to Renezeder’s success, General Tire-sponsored Sean Geiser took first place in the Limited Buggy Class, rounding out a solid weekend of wins for Team GT.

“Once again, Team General Tire has come through in tight competition to reach the winner’s podium.  Carl is such a great competitor, and when you pair his remarkable driving skills with the outstanding performance of our Grabber SC tires, Team General Tire is very tough to beat,” said Travis Roffler, director of marketing, General Tire. 

“And Sean Geiser has been a terrific addition to the team as well, bringing the power of Team GT to an entirely new class,” he added.

The Grabber SC, designed in size 35x12.50R17 for Unlimited 2 and Unlimited 4 drivers. Engineered with a tough, three-ply Duragen™-reinforced body construction to stand up to the rigors of off-road conditions, the Grabber SC also features a newly-developed competition-specific tread compound.  The Grabber SC is the sister tire to the Grabber desert tire designed in size 37x12.50R17 for class 8 and trophy truck/trick truck; and 35x12.50R17 for class 1, 6, 7, 7 S, stock mini and Protruck.
