Team Azunia takes TrophyLite pole!

Team Azunia fueled by Jim Riley takes the TrophyLite pole at the KC HiLites Midnight Special!

We had a perfect run in the #6001 truck and finished with a time of 3:51, only 30 seconds off Kyle Conlins overall winning pace!

I can't say enough about Jim letting us run his truck, as well as Shrek prepping it perfectly for me to flog around the rough Ridgecrest course.

Great job Louis!! Put a little of that Azunia Tequila in the fuel cell, and show everyone how it is done tonight.

17 seconds in front of 2-4th place on a 3 mile course?? Something is fishy! Lol

The only thing fishy was the dailey truck trying to gain a little speed by not running a light bar! Cmon fish, you know better

Vroom vroom... Btw these ipads with 3G rock!

If Pat drove for qualifying it was probably a driver weight equalizer by not running the light bar! haha

To All Members of the AGAVE Motorsports/AZUNIA Tequila Team: Thanks for a great time at the Midnight Special!!! Louis was truly AWESOME! He's an outstanding driver and a great sportsman. It was a joy to see how he handled the passes (skillfully/patiently and without contact) in difficult terrain. I would definitely ride with him again!

He showed me everything a TL could do...and he did all of it while staying "right side" up and taking care of the truck/tires for 2 grueling laps. Additionally, we started the race without a GPS map of the course, so Louis had nearly all of the responsibility for navigating the course effectively (the old-fashioned way). By lap two, we had a map (from lap one) but with many mismarked holes as I simply wasn't able to make timely entries (could they make the GPS buttons any smaller?) while bouncing through the "Ridgecrest Rough."

A huge THANK YOU goes to Rick Johnson for helping organize my ride and acquainting me with all the wonderful people on his team. Also, I must personally recognize Jim Riley - he is the "real deal!" I can't recall when I have met a more personable and generous businessman (CEO of Intersect Beverage) and I now consider him my friend (especially since he let me drive the mighty #6001 for a few minutes during pre-run :-).

Overall, I had an outstanding week-end with the AGAVE/AZUNIA group. They model all the best qualities of sportsmen and competitors. I also need to thank SHREK (the force behind the pit/support crew) for making sure the truck was mechanically perfect...and the many family members for making me feel "right at home" from the very beginning. They went way beyond normal expectations to ensure I had a positive event.

Kudos also to the other TL competitors (and families) in the main pit area...they were genuinely friendly and supportive of each other (and I know everyone was happy to see FISH overcome the fuel issues after a day of wrenching on his truck). As usual, the TL leadership (Greg, Gary, Nikki, et al, etc.) was there to provide support and guidance to all of the TL teams and the TL families shared whatever was needed on any truck prior to, and during, the race. From my perspective, its just an awesome group of people having fun and doing what they love in a great way!

Thanks again for helping me return the greatest sport in the world...and I definitely know what class I'll be racing for the next few years!
