Keeping with the current Ryan Cavalieri theme, TLR have just announced that they have signed the multiple World Champion to their team.

Here’s what Ryan had to say about joining TLR:

I’m beyond excited to be back with TLR. This is where it all started for me and where I won my first World Championship title and that one will always be special. I’m really looking forward to working with the entire team as we continue to push the envelope of performance. So far, it’s already been amazing and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thanks to Thomas and Todd along with everyone at TLR/Horizon for the awesome welcome.

Fresh for 2021, Ronda Drake signs with JConcepts. Fascinated by RC at a young age, Ronda has made waves in Southern California starting in 1/10th off-road racing where she learned at a fast pace. Throughout the years, as new segments evolved, she has taken to the track in touring car, gas truck and eventually 1/8th off-road. A local on the scene, Ronda routinely races at tracks such as Thunder Alley, Revelation and Palm Desert Raceways where she uses her talent and expertise to stack-up podium results on a weekly basis. On the new deal, Ronda had this to say:

I first met Jason Ruona when he moved to California in 1997 and we became friends. The opportunity has finally presented itself and I proud to say that I’m excited to be joining the team for 2021 and beyond! Jason is very much involved with the team development, marketing, and always at the track with the ever evolving race scene. Jason being a top racer in the past, I truly value his knowledge and products. That being said, I’m excited to be a part of the JConcepts Team.
