Was a awesome race for a awesome Cause. had a blast.

I think DJR is racing the 1706 Wrangler this year if so we will be there. if they dont we will still probably be there

My wife co-dogged in the Jeepspeed 1706 car. Whole team had a blast, I'll bet we'll be there again this year.

KT, what are you racing in?

how many miles was the race last year? How many laps?

KT, what are you racing in?

the race truck silly!
:laughing:

It was a time thing, as many laps as you could run. I want to say the laps were 26-28 miles. Our team got in 4 laps. MORE split the field with a morning race and an afternoon race depending on class. Slower classes ran in the morning.

Great event, great cause. Everyone is for saving the boobies!

Great! That format sounds perfect since there are 3 of us that want to be drivers! Thanks for the info!

I didnt know it ran :flipoff2:

It will run just as soon as Frank, Fred, Chad, Richie and Drew get to work! (should I add your name to the list?) Hopefully this race will give them all the motivation to make it run so we can eventually move the truck off of our driveway! win win win for me really, us girls get to race, I get to see the left side of the driveway again, and we help a great cause!:D

I didnt know it ran :flipoff2:


sounds like TRD is jealous that girls dont want to drive his stuff :flipoff2:

My truck would have to run before it could be driven:flipoff2:

I'd be down to help depending on the weekend. We have a small jeep project in progress right now too.

FatCity will be back out for sure. The girls had a great time and couldn't wait to do it again.

Any and all help is appreciated! I think Richie is coming the last weekend in March. If you are around and have a free day, stop on by!

Yeah! Work on Race truck-yay!

Hopefully we will have something ready by then as well.

TRD, what is your jeep project?

It's more Gregs project than mine, but I'm helping where I can.

4 links, full hydro, lower, new drivetrain, cage, backhalf, fronthalf...

You ended up with the white jeep yj didnt you? Are you interested in a 4 banger, adapter bell housing, sm420 and np231?

[QUOTE=KT;7975844]how many miles was the race last year? How many laps?

If you want to get a good look at the format and course go out the the next MORE race, March 15th...they are running basically the same course and same exact format. The course is about 20-21 miles and the slower classes run for as many laps as they can in the morning and then the faster cars make their way out there in the afternoon.

We will definately be at this years Powder Puff race, our third year...a fun race for a GREAT cause.

You know me- I dont know what I need, but Fred says that I need a 4l60E and NP241. Im just happy to have a jeep to play with. At this point Im more concerned about what Im having embroidered on my head rests. :laughing:

Ill ask the FRED!

Well KT has been able to rally a bunch of people to make sure that this is ready for her race. She wants to bedazzle the seats and race suits, but that is where I draw the line.

FWIW she has rally'd a huge number of spectators and pit supporters. We will rival DJR in number of people if not experience.

(She is a bit excited.)

pink pin stripe or 2 tone?

Personally I like the 2 tone. :eek:

pink pin stripe or 2 tone?

how about a little of both?

ALmost pink flames.

Knarly broham!

My new truck will hopefully by done for this race, if not i'll be out there rooting on the ladies.

KT, I chatted with Frank yesterday and invited you guys to come pit with us. I had more fun at this race than any other all year long. We swapped drivers and co-drivers every lap without a catch.


Here is my wife Tandi's report:

After spending this week full of anxiety, nightmares, dreams and sleepless nights, the Powderpuff weekend arrived. I have spent many months waiting for this weekend for my chance to race the Banks Power 1706 Jeepspeed Wrangler. It felt like any other weekend arriving in the desert. It never hit me how anxious I would become until Machelle and I were driving to tech/contingency! We passed tech with flying colors, thanks to all the people who have put many hard working hours into making the DJR Jeep into what it is!
I woke up before sunrise on Saturday morning still not feeling like it was real. I was going to race, unbelievable. It was time to go to the drivers meeting and Kris, Machelle, Tina and Marcie all went with the husbands not far behind us. After the drivers meeting, Kris and I took the jeep to the staging area to line up. I was really going to race! That's when it hit. I started to get nervous, my heart skipped a few beats. There is no way to describe driving up to the start with spectators everywhere. And, I think being that the women were all driving/co-driving, the spectators were extra curious. One of the highlights for me at the start line was driving up to the start seeing Jack from RVMD with a huge smile hootin and hollerin for the DJR girls. Thanks Jack and Leslie!!
We took off and I very quickly got comfortable and I knew I was going to be able to do this race. Just before mile 2, there was a car broke already, right on the course. There were drivers scattering everywhere to avoid colliding with the broke car. We all came to a stop and then the girls were all getting stuck, as it was extremely sandy. Guess what? I've got the 4WD and brand new TrXus M/T tires from Interco and I got her into first gear and just hammered our way out of the wash, and around all those that were stuck and off we went!! I heard later that several girls had to wait for a tow out of the sand before they could move on. Not the DJR girls!!
Kris and I were so excited to pass the first car, we had to call it in to main pit. I am sure everyone in main pit was laughing at us. But, we were so proud of ourselves, ha ha.
We did the first lap in just under 40 minutes (I think). We called into main pit that we were at mile marker 20 and we were going to come in to main pit for a co-driver change. So Kris got out and Machelle got in. Everything was running good on the Jeep and a visual of the car was all good. So we took off for our second lap.
The time on the course was pretty consistent, but I found the more I drove, the more familiar the course became to me. So I knew when I could go faster and I knew when it was rough, or silty, etc. Machelle and I made it around the course and we told main pit that we were all good and we decided not to do a driver/co-driver change until after the third lap. So Machelle and I were going to drive by main pit. There are some pretty good sections in front of main pit and LJ, the crew chief said to go to the far right, as it was the smoothest section. I tried to go all the way right, but couldn't make it as far as he wanted and I hit a whoop and jumped the Jeep a bit, but when I landed, I landed on another one and that just threw the front end of the Jeep in the air about 8 feet, even though it felt like we were going to the moon! We went up to the start/finish and we heard a clunk. I just knew it was broke, and that is exactly what I did not want to happen! Machelle called in to main pit and they said to pull off, they were on their way. The whole DJR crew arrived and I told them it was in the back, but they found nothing but a few loose bolts. We were told to go on our way. We drove about 300 yards and it felt like the rear end was going to roll away from the Jeep. We called back to the DJR crew and explained that the Jeep was not right. We pulled off the course again and some spectators came to our rescue and quickly found that the rear shock bolt had broke off. The DJR crew arrived and within minutes, a new bolt was put in and we were off again.
Because we had a 3 hour limit on the course and you have to leave start/finish no later than 11:45 to complete another lap. Main pit advised us that we would do a remote driver/co-driver change after the start/finish line in order for the other DJR girls to get a lap in. We did the third lap very consistent with the previous laps and made it just past the start/finish where Machelle and I got out. Tina and Marcy got in with several of the DJR crew assisting them to get them back on course. We did 4 20-mile laps in 3 1/4 hours.

Many thanks to all those that came out to support us girls. It's a nice feeling to know that there are so many who are out there just to help us and do anything that needs to be done!

Many thanks to all of our sponsors. Without all the sponsors, the DJR Jeep could not be what it is today.



What a good time! Can't wait to see you guys out there.

Scott - sounds great and thank Tandi for the great report! I am super excited, but just between you and me, I think I might pee my pants out there when I climb in...oops.

pink pin stripe or 2 tone?

I love the 2 toned...looks like a winner to me!

I was there last year with the Sproule's class-1 truggy and Gailey Motorsports class-10.

Maybe I'll see you gals out there this year.

Best advice I heard: If you get a flat or have any other problems drive the car to the nearest group of guys and ask them to change your tire. You don't even have to get out of the car:grinpimp:

This statement is true in more ways than one
