Final WSORR Pro-Lite Standings...

Though more limited than in prior years, there was a Nissan presence to be felt within the WSORR (World Series of Off Road Racing) in '08. With the WSORR run on tracks in and around the American upper Mid-West (Wisconsin, Missouri, Michigan, etc.) most of the drivers hale from that general area--as is the case with the two Nissan Pro-Lite drivers, Jon Probst and Josh Hintz. Given the lack of manufacturer support, their results are encouraging as they show just how strong the Nissan engines can be when driven by talented hands. While Josh Hintz finished the year in 6th
position (out of 10) with a single trip to the podium (a 3rd at Oshkosh Rnd. #7), Jon Probst finished 4th for the year, narrowly missing 3rd place and taking four trips up the podium steps
(two second and two third place finishes). Given the issues going on in CORR right now, with the '09 season up in the air, I know of a number of Pro-Lite competitors who will be venturing East to compete in the WSORR, including some Nissan drivers and perhaps the return of a Nissan to the Pro-2 ranks as well...
