Panther Tires would like to welcome Doug “Casper” Nielsen to our racing team. Doug is a long time TLR team driver and has been known to be one of the most helpful guys at the track. Doug regularly places his cars in the top 3 spots at the JRBL Series and other large races all around the SoCal area.

Doug had this to say “I was really impressed with Panther Tires latest tire tread designs and rubber compounds. I tested my regular “go to” tire in comparison to the Panther Tires and it was just ok. The Panther Tires allowed me to run some of my fastest times on that layout. Balance felt good, great forwardd bite and good side bite which allowed the car to rotate but not get out of control.”
