After a battle at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track, the top off road racers in the world are ready to square off for rounds 2 and 3 at the new and improved track at Perris Auto Speedway, in Perris, Calif.


Joining the three PRO Truck classes on the Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL circuit, are several other sportsman classes: PRO Super Buggy, 1600 Buggy, UTV, and both 250 and 450 Off Road Karts. SRT classes will be running a West Coast Triple Crown where three races will constitute a championship, and be awarded at the USAC banquet at the end of the season.

The festivities begin at 6:00 p.m. Wednesday night at Chuy’s in Corona, with a TORC kick off party. Trucks, teams, and sponsors will be on hand as well as Dirt Newz’s own Tim Sanchez broadcasting live from the event. TORC then moves to PAS Friday at noon for Media Day, shortly followed start of what will be an action packed weekend. Fans can look forward to not only lots of fender banging, truck racing; there will also be plenty of action in the pits, as well as the Traxxas “Try Me Track,” where fans can test out an array of Traxxas trucks.
