The All New Pro Series 4″ Housing

May 27th2015

Pro Series 4" Housing

We are proud to release the all new Pro Series 4″ Housing, our strongest Spider 9 yet. We put so much into this design, we know Ultra4 racers are going to appreciate every little detail they find here. This also happens to be the same rear housing under Loren Healy’s record-breaking Red Dragon, so know this housing isn’t just about looks, it’s about 1st place finishes. Be sure to head over to http://www.spidertrax.com/4in-Pro-Series-Housing to learn more about our latest Spider 9 creation. Pro Series 4″ Housings are in-stock and ready to ship same day (as of this post). Happy Wednesday.

We’ve already shared some highlights and photos from the 2015 Croatia Trophy, courtesy of our good friends over at World4x4, but it’s ALWAYS good to hear from the drivers themselves. Jim Marsden, winner of this years Croatia Trophy in his Spider 9 powered Land Rover, put together his own behind the scenes race recap. No one knows those stories better than Jim!

Great race recap from Kristin & Kyle over at DrivingLine.com of the 2015 MetalCloak Stampede. As you likely already know [spoiler alert] Loren Healy pulled off the win. This is 3 years in a row now that Spider 9 IFS has won the MetalCloak Stampede. First with Jason Scherer, running the 1st ever Spider 9 IFS prototype, followed by Tom Wayes in the same car. This year, Loren gets the top honor and bragging rights having won the largest off-road race to hit Prairie City. Congrats Loren!

Time for an upgrade.
