Lazer Star Lights Debuts New PreRunnerLED Line at SEMA Show

Lazer Star Lights will debut an all new line of LED light bars at the 2015 SEMA Show, set for November 3-6. The new line, called PreRunnerLED by Lazer Star Lights, will feature quality LED light bars built for recreational use and offered at an economical price point.

“Traditionally we have designed and built our lighting products to the highest possible standards,” said Lazer Star Vice President, Ron Scott. “The result has been a line of lights that perform reliably even through the extreme abuse of off-road racing, but we realize that many people do not require race-spec products for their intended uses. The PreRunnerLED line offers consumers a light bar that is reliable, looks good and is effective, but at a more economical price point than our flagship LX LED line.”

 


Lazer Star's new PreRunnerLED line offers quality LED light bars for casual use at an economical price.


In addition to launching their new line of LED light bars at the show, Lazer Star Lights will have a few other newcomers to their complete lineup of industry-leading lights, kits and accessories. SEMA Show attendees will be among the first to see a sample of their new Jeep Stealth Kit, an LED light bar kit that mounts behind the grill of many Jeep models. Lazer Star will also be showcasing the new Endeavour E5 kit, comprised of a pair of small and versatile 5-watt light bars that can be mounted almost anywhere on virtually any vehicle. Finally, Lazer Star’s new Chrysler/Jeep Fog Light Brackets will allow for LXLED 10-watt Single Lights to be mounted to the stock mounting points on many Chrysler products, including most Jeep JK models. Stop by the Lazer Star Lights booth #37087 in the Upper South Hall for more information about Lazer Star Lights products and the Lazer Star racing program.
 

The new Jeep Stealth Kit is one of several new products Lazer Star will launch at SEMA Show.

Lazer Star products will be featured on several truck, Jeep and UTV builds found throughout the SEMA Show halls. Check out Lazer Star’s products in action on Matt Lovell’s mid-size trophy truck, Mike Duval’s Jeep build in the Mickey Thompson booth, a Polaris RZR build in the Greenball booth, a BDS Suspension Jeep build in the LTAA booth, and more.

Lazer Star Lights Sponsored Murray Racing Team Takes Silver at Vegas to Reno

Dubbed the longest off-road race in America, the Best in the Desert Racing Association’s “Vegas to Reno” is a grueling 545-mile journey through the Nevada desert. The rough and dusty course knocked dozens of competitors out of contention, but both Lazer Star Lights sponsored teams persevered through the conditions to claim impressive finishes in their classes.
 
Murray Racing  |  Pro UTV  |  #1917
Brothers Derek and Jason Murray are well-respected in the racing community. Their dedication to hard work and preparation has not only earned them a good reputation, but it’s also resulted in some excellent racing performances over the past several years. However, after rough outings at the Mint 400 and Silver State 300, the Murray Brothers were looking to bounce back and put in the podium performance they know they are capable of producing.


 
Derek started out behind the wheel in the 20th position. As he headed north for the first pit the Murray Racing Can-Am Maverick Turbo suffered a flat tire. At this early stage of the race, the repair time cost the team some precious time and positions. To make matters worse, another mechanical slowed the team down at around the 35-mile mark. “At that point I decided to drive smarter and just focus on making progress through the course,” Derek said after the race. “It was very dusty and the course was gnarly, so we stayed within the car’s limits but still pushed the pace.”
 
Derek made good progress during the rest of his leg, and passed the baton to Jason at Pit 8. As the sun went down, Jason knew he and his team stood at an advantage. Temperatures were dropping, meaning they could push their Maverick Turbo even harder without having to worry as much about overheating. “Our Lazer Star Lights setup was our other big advantage after sunset,” Derek explained. “While many drivers are backing off a little bit, we charge hard in the dark and use this opportunity to overtake the field.”
 

 
Jason crossed the line at around midnight, and Murray Racing claimed 2nd place in the Vegas to Reno race. Murray Racing is the only team to sit in the top 3 in both the SCORE and BITD UTV Pro standings, with throw out races. Derek continued, “The new turbo is a lot of fun. A ton of power and torque. After three races with it we feel like we’re getting it dialed in just right, so we’ll got out to the SCORE Imperial Valley 250 and try to defend our title.” The Murrays will then finish out the 2015 season with the BITD Bluewater and Henderson races as well as the SCORE Baja 1000.
 
Matt Lovell Racing  |  7200 Class  |  #7244
Matt Lovell represented Lazer Star in the field of mid-size trophy trucks, and “Everything went great,” Matt said after the race. “The truck was hammered after Mint so we took a lot of time prepping and basically rebuilding the truck.”
 

 
After months of preparation, Lovell who was one of very few drivers to  ironman this entire race solo, pushed the #7244 machine through the more than 500 miles of Nevada desert with relative ease. “It’s always a tough race and the course is always challenging,” Matt continued. “But this time through we were fortunate to not have any mechanical issues.” Lovell got stuck in a silt bed at around race mile 390, which sapped most of the energy he had left. That cost him almost an hour of time which equalled his time behind 3rd place. However, he  persevered with his Lazer Star Lights setup to continue charging hard after dark, coming in just before 1 am.


 
Lovell finished in a little over 14 hours, claiming the 7th place position in his class. “If it weren’t for the silt bed delay we were looking at a possible podium, but I’m proud of the crew and everyone who supports the team, and we were thrilled with how smoothly the whole race went.”

Derek West Extends Top 5 Finish Streak in Nitto National Series

Consistency is key; Top 5 finishes in every race so far this year

The Jimmy's racing team had a rough start when the front drive shaft flew out at a speed close to 100 mph on the back stretch. The damage included a crushed exhaust system which would have to be fixed. The team rushed to replace the drive shaft and fix the exhaust to get on the track for qualifying. With just a few minutes to spare the team had the car fixed and Derek was on the track and qualified in the fifth spot. In the first heat Derek started 3rd and was looking great until a sensor wire came loose from the engine, which then wrapped around the drive shaft and took the lower engine harness wiring with it. Again, the #20 car was towed back into the pits to be repaired. This put the team in the last chance qualifier race (LCQ) fighting for a chance to make the main race. Starting 3rd in this heat as well Derek quickly made it to the front only to have some more problems forcing him to make a quick pit stop. Once the issue was addressed Derek was back on track and pushing hard to catch up as the entire field had passed by. Derek managed his way back up to the front of the pack to finish 3rd which would advance him to the main race.


The Nitto Tire/ NorthStar Battery car was in the 39th position, the second to last spot. The race leader was starting three and a half minutes in front of Derek with the staggered start. "I was just determined to catch as many of the racers in front of me as I could and still keep the car together so I could get a decent finish. During the last hour of the race, the track conditions were brutal!", said Derek. The race lasted for a little over 2.5hrs and at the end Derek and team had secured a 5th place finish. This would be enough to increase their 1st place lead in the Nitto national points championship as well as the move into 2nd in the western division.

Lazer Star Lights Sponsored Murray Racing Takes Second at Baja 500

The Baja 500 is always one of the most exciting events of the year in the off-road racing world, and with the growing popularity of UTV racing this year’s event had the most-ever UTV entries in SCORE International history. 23 UTVs started the race in hopes of claiming some Baja gold, but only 11 finished the diverse and challenging course.

Lazer Star Lights sponsored racers Jason and Derek Murray headed down to Ensenada, Mexico with their eyes set on the ultimate prize: a Baja 500 victory. Jason started the day behind the wheel of Murray Racing’s turbocharged Can-Am Maverick, and was the second UTV off the line. The rough Baja course took its toll early on, however, damaging a wheel and causing Jason to lose some of his early lead. Team Murray got going again and Jason once again worked his way up to the front, running neck and neck with the leader in the first stages of the race.

Before long the tricky terrain intervened once again, this time tipping the Murray Racing Can-Am onto its side in a silt bed. Jason was running in 5th or 6th place as he hit the 100-mile mark, but he continued charging hard through a rough and rocky section of the course as he headed for the pit where Derek would take over.

Another mechanical issue would further slow the Murray boys down, but as dusk gave way to night Derek took the driver’s seat and put his Lazer Star Lights LX LED light bars to work. “As soon as the sun went down, we knew we had the advantage,” Derek Murray said after the race. “The sheer power and range of our Lazer Star Lights gives us the confidence to push the limits even at night, when other racers might be letting up.”

Derek moved back up to the front and battled with the leader all night. Derek would be slowed by one final mechanical issue, but by the time the finish line was in sight he was right on the tail of the lead UTV. Derek crossed the line around 2:30am, and knowing that adjusted time and penalties were in play was uncertain of his team’s status until it was later announced that Murray Racing was the official 2nd place finisher.

“The course was very diverse this year, with a lot of different sections,” Murray continued. “We had some sand whoops, some rocky, technical sections, and some fast rally racing type sections. We always aim for that 1st place trophy, but I’m proud of our performance and the hard work our crew put in.”

Next up for Murray Racing is the Best in the Desert “Vegas to Reno” in August. The Murray brothers will then attempt to add precious points to their SCORE International season tally at the Imperial Valley 250 in September.
