Close Qualifying Suggests Action-Packed Off-Road Show At Las Vegas

Las Vegas, Nov 7, 2010: In qualifying for tomorrow's round #13 of the 15-round 2010 Lucas Oil Off Road Series at the off-road facility at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Double 2009 division winner Carl Renezeder threw down an ultra-hot 1.07.793 lap of the wild 1.1-mile off-road course to top the Pro 4 speed charts. The Montebello (California) native was followed quite closely on the qualifying charts by Adrian Cenni from the US Virgin Islands with an eyeblink close 1:07.909 lap and Santa Monica's Mike Johnson less than a second behind at 1:08.721. In all 12 drivers qualified for Saturday's top division Pro 4 division race on the tough multi-turn/jump/berm/ off-camber/table-top-studded dirt course that's set only a few feet from 6,000 grandstand seats, each and every one only a few yards from the action...

The qualifying sheet for the Pro 2 Unlimiteds has Las Vegan Rob Maccahren leading the next neatest qualifier Greg Adler (Manhattan Beach. CA) by a similarly-slim margin 1:09.799 to 1:09.969, with double-threat Carl Renezeder right there in third at 1:10.126.

In the Pro Lite Unlimited division, the Metal Mulsiha man himself, Brian Deegan put his machine on the pole for tomorrow's race with a 1:12.333 with Chris Brant and Matt Lodice right behind at 1:13.297 and 1:14.954. Brant calls Council Bluffs, Iowa his home and Lodice is from San Diego.
