HORIZON HOBBY EXPANDS MARKETING PARTNERSHIP WITH STRONGHOLD MOTORSPORTS

Champaign, Illinois (March 23, 2012) - Today, Horizon Hobby proudly announced their newly expanded marketing partnership with the Stronghold Motorsports short course off road race team. With this agreement, seven-time Supercross champion, Jeremy McGrath and action sports icon, Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg will represent Horizon Hobby and the Team Losi Racing brand in a variety of 2012 marketing initiatives. Along with full size race vehicle branding featuring Horizon Hobby and Team Losi Racing, McGrath and Stenberg will be the focus of a brand new marketing campaign featuring the duo and their 900 horsepowered Stronghold Motorsports Pro2 Race trucks and their scale RC counterparts.

McGrath, took his first win in Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series competition in 2011 and will begin his next assault on the series standings on March 31st at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix with the support of Horizon Hobby. "Team Losi Racing/Losi RC cars are as close to driving my full size truck as it gets," said McGrath. "The cars are cool, realistic and a lot of fun. When I'm not racing, the next best thing is going out and driving my 1/5th and 1/10th scale Team Losi Racing/Losi trucks." With a host of accolades that include XGames Gold and a SuperLite off road truck championship, Stenberg is set to make his debut this season alongside McGrath in the marquis Pro2 class. "Team Losi Racing makes a hard core RC car. These trucks are fast, powerful and fly through the air with incredible balance and control," said Stenberg. "After hours and hours of racing, they take just as much abuse as my full size race truck. I'm pumped to kick off this season with Team Losi Racing behind us."

Short course off road racing has developed into the hottest segment that the radio control racing marketplace has seen in years. Team Losi Racing/Losi radio control vehicles mimic the excitement, adjustability and durability of full scale short course off road trucks but in a smaller and more affordable package that everyone can enjoy. Horizon Hobby Vice President of Marketing, Shawn Ireland shared his enthusiasm for the 2012 program. "We are proud to continue to expand our association with full scale motorsports as we further align ourselves with the Stronghold Motorsports organization and their drivers Jeremy McGrath and Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg. The professionalism of Stronghold Motorsports makes this a tremendous fit to expand upon our already successful partnership." Looks like I might get my Jeremy Mcgrath graphics after all....lol

Well ain't that a downer, I thought I was going to have the only Mcgrath replica 5ive here in short order Prolly hundreds of them around here soon now, lol. looks like plan B for the next paint job now

Interesting though. Just inked a deal with Rockstar, now a Monster theme? Who would have thought that?

That was my plan too, lol. I already cut the vinyl to paint the new body, lol.

Maybe I'll just paint the stocker like McGraths since it's still in pretty good shape, and the 'other' body in something else now

Gotta do something with these bright green beadlock rings i bought, lol!!

If I'm able to just buy the McGrath truck I'll either dye the stock rims black with bright green rings or pick up some split six wheels and run the green rings.

Even if that truck never becomes available, I can still paint that scheme up for you on the new shell I've thrown paint at a couple monster themes before Here is one based on the 2010 one industries helmet design I did.

Since you are also a gun enthusiast, you will know the ar15.com bolt face logo in the green/yellow

Nice job BD! That is one skill I certainly don't have. I have 0 artistic ability. That looks great! If I am ever in a market for a new body I plan on changing the paint scheme I might have to hit you up.

[Troyster]

I don't know if that was difficult to paint Black Dragon but is sure looks good!

[XREDRACERX]

I hope they will be available as body kits and or graphics.I was going to do mine up JMc style originally but the custom vinyl would have been way too much.I think they both look pretty cool though.
