“USA wins four out of five events. On the sixth event, both teams decided to do the contest together. It was an arm-over-arm truck pull.   “Pacific Strong and P.L.S.E. put on a great contest with very impressive equipment! The Russian fans were very enthusiastic and supportive of both teams. We look forward to returning to Vladivostok next year,” Wessels said.
