O.K there were a lot of people at the first road crossing. So who has pic or video of my (507) car on the first lap? Boy it was cold.

 

[Jkrell]

Thanks Kris, and thanks for all your help out there.

Race Note: WFODAN deservs his haul ass reputation. That guy pushes hard. I'm not sure I could have run his pace the whole day if he didn't have problems.

Race car note: Duffco - Awesome truck and front suspension. Deaver: Awesome rear suspension.

Big thanks to everybody that helped out!!!!

what's dan racing? i didn't know he had a new truck already...dammit, i'm behind!!!!

 

[JenDiggityDirt]

Dan was codriving his friend Mark's Toyota (white with checkered flame-job). They were doing reallllly well until they had some problems with their steering (I think). We left early, but on our way out they went flying by so they obviously got back in the race. Anyone know how they finished? The Duffco truck looked to be doing really well, too. You guys planning on racing that all season? That 1400 class looks like it's turning out to be a lot of fun...hope more people keep entering!

Unfortunately there are no plans as of right now to race the whole season in the Duffco truck. The amount of TIme, energy, and money it takes to run a race correctly is substantial to say the least. I only had enough in me for one this year. Maybe next year when I graduate from school I will try and run a few more. It sure was fun though!! I can't wait to do it again.

One more thing, did anybody find a toyota catalytic converter and o2 sensor on the track. I lost it on lap three I think around the first half of the course. Truck sure sounded cool with an open header, felt like I was in a trophy truck or something.

Thanks.

Jon

Dan broke the steering linkage. One of my chase guys helped him , then he had something with a spindle. Carolyn had problem with her new fuel cell finely got it working but then ran out of time to complete the last lap.

Oh man that was some good racing all day! I saw Dan and Duffco come by the Main Pit one time and they were both right on each other! Than later in the day even though Dan was down 1 or 2 laps, they came by again and they were right on each other again!

We (JC Andrews #732) were doing good all day and in the lead for the first 4 laps. We did a driver change and then we had a leaf spring break and we had to take it easy for the last lap but we finished very close in 2ND!

This was one of the most fun races I have been to and I think a lot of people would agree! I can't wait till the next MDR race. San Felipe is next though!

[JCA]

I would agree. I had a great time!! I met a lot of people. I want to thank all the guys that came and helped me. We are going to try and get the truck together for San Felipe and then we will shoot for the MDR race in April. Thanks again guys!

You may beat me in the flats, but watch out in the whoops.

Jkrell,
About your toyota catalytic converter and o2 sensor, I talked to some guys that I was chasing for who were running a 5 car and they said they saw one on the 5th lap in the wash area. However, on the last lap they said it looked like it had been run over a few times. Not sure if it was yours but it is a start. You may also want to check with the people who sweep the course.
