Extended Exposure

February 25, 2011 (El Cajon, CA) - When TRAXXAS entered the world of short-course off-road racing three years ago, very few envisioned what their presence meant to the sport and in turn what the sport has provided for the radio-controlled car company.

The concept to create a true scale, full bodied, replica off-road race truck for the R/C industry has introduced an entirely new group of motorsports enthusiasts to TORC off-road racing. At the same time, putting TRAXXAS at the forefront of the radio-controlled marketplace. One of the race replica off-road race trucks is the Douglas Motorsports PRO-4x4 #7 AMSOIL Ford F-150.

2011 will be the fourth year of the partnership with TRAXXAS and Douglas Motorsports.

TRAXXAS currently has four different radio-controlled truck models that replicate the Scott Douglas AMSOIL TORC truck. Nearly seventy thousand of the Scott Douglas replicas have been sold, making it the #1 seller for TRAXXAS in 2010.

The Scott Douglas AMSOIL F-150 has been a fixture in the “Voice of Off-Road Motorsports” - DIRTSPORTS Magazine. The familiar #7 has occupied the front cover four times in the last five years, as well as featured in numerous articles.

Other publications synonymous with the off-road lifestyle, Off Road and Petersen’s 4-Wheel Drive Magazine, have featured Scott Douglas, more than any other current professional off-road competitor, in numerous articles throughout his storied career as well.

Always promoting the sport and his partners, 2011 has already kept Scott Douglas busy making public appearances. The opening round of AMA Supercross in Anaheim, CA saw Scott meeting many of the seventy-five thousand fans in attendance. Then it was off to Round 2 of AMA Supercross in Phoenix, AZ to display his AMSOIL race truck and mingle with the nearly sixty-five thousand fans.

Then it was a week long stay at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, AZ. The iconic event brings hundreds of thousands of automotive and motorsports enthusiasts together. Scott Douglas had the opportunity to give all in attendance an up-close view of a PRO-4x4 TORC Off-Road race truck.

Before the April 30 TORC season opener at Cycle Ranch in San Antonio, TX, Scott is scheduled to fly over to the Middle East for a ten day tour with Armed Forces Entertainment. Scott and the group will greet our troops and thank them for everything they do to keep this great country safe. 

When asked about the upcoming trip, Scott stated, “This is by far a huge honor and is the biggest thing I have ever done.”
