2012 M8 HCR Open Mod Domination Shows Early Promise for Next Season
Team Arctic Racers Take 10 Classes and 2 King Titles at Pebble Creek
Team Arctic Hillclimb racers continued their RMSHA winning with 10 class victories and two King titles at Pebble Creek.
With a little less than two weeks for the Tapios to prepare the 2012 M8 HCR ProClimb chassis for Jackson Hole, Team Arctic racer, Kyle Tapio pulled off a near victory in the 800 Open Mod class. With a baseline idea of what the ProClimb chassis was capable of, the Tapios regrouped and focused on Pebble Creek victory. That’s just what Tapio brothers Kyle and Nels did as they notched a one-two sweep of the Open Mod 800 class.
“We like what we are seeing in the all-new ProClimb chassis and are proud of the early wins. Next season should be really exciting for Team Arctic racers,” said Hillclimb Coordinator, Al Shimpa. “We can’t forget how well our 2011 chassis worked either as we won three-quarters of the Improved and Mod classes and swept the entire Women’s classes totaling ten wins and two King Titles!”
