Tyler built his whole truck himself. He has ensured it to be extremely competitive with his super charged 1400 race truck built ready for some SNORE races in the future! Tyler participated in the Del Mar "Tuff Trucks" event and was covered in the Dezert People 9- a popular off-road racing film- in the "Tuff Trucks" portion of the video as well!! This is a driver with some sponsors and big plans coming his way, so watch out for him at the races and look forward to an exciting season of competitive off-road racing!!!!!!!

It is that time again, the 2011 all women drivers Powder Puff- RACE FOR THE CURE is just around the corner and we are ready to have a great race for an even greater cause! Every year the race raises over $100,000 for Cedars Sinai and for the fight against breast cancer. The race will be taking place in Barstow on October 8th, 2011!!! The Team Tonelli, BEE-HIVE ladies have been racing this event for the past 5 years!!!!! This year our team drivers racing the class 1400 truck for Nick Tonelli are: Maja Tonelli - Kat Wilson - Alexis Plant - and Bree Cloud.

Although the Trophy Ranger has traditionally been part of this event, there is a time conflict preventing the truck from being at Powder Puff- and the truck will be on display at another event. Dustyn and Brian Loppnow are lending the ladies their 1400 Loppnow Racing, MCC, BEE-HIVE, Rigid and Hostility truck this year in replacement of Nick Tonelli's Trophy Ranger. The ladies are excited to be competing against 14 other 1400 trucks, so get ready for some fantastic racing!!! SEE YOU THERE!!!!!!!
