Jeff has been contacted by the promoter. If we have enough turn out, I'm sure we could have one.

Hey Chris you guys should come run Vorra with me March 28-29. Tell Trent I said you could use his rig. The Vorra Series has two course races, three dessert, then two more short course in the fall. I ran the Yerington 300 last year and got 2nd in Sportson class. I ran one day at the short course in the fall, yes its off the hook. We started 8 wide and three rows deep. I had to start in the back because i missed the qualifier. I had 6-7 place by the 2nd lap, but had to drop because it got very hot. Thats why my trans coolers are now in the back and not in front of the radiator.

We could sign up in the pro 4 class and just drive over anyone who tries to pass! They have 800 horsepower...I have 42" tires and lockers. :D

You know I'll be there if Derek gives the okay!

Can you come down for the Glen Helen race? I live close by and you could stay here.

I'd like to go but, most likely I can't. Thanks for the offer though. I have a lot of catch up work to do.

Hey Kevin, were you the only rockcrawler running the short-course? Are more rock rigs gonna show up for the race at the end of march? I think I might have to come up there and watch that :smokin:

Interested in going and shooting it if the guys get enough rigs to have a class.
Chris, Jeff, Dave, whoever, let me know what the word is.
I'll have to check my schedule.

Yes I was the only rock rig last year at the Dessert race or the Short course. Both were a blast. The sportsman class is open to all classes. I was told I had to get a fuel cell and lose my aluminum tank last year, which I did before I showed up. I'm pretty sure the car will be more competitve now with the changes for KOH I did. Last year was brutal rough. Hopefully it stays cooler. I really hope it rains! Should improve our chances for a good finish. It was fun backing a shortwheel base car into a corner with 40" tires at full throttle though. Can't wait!
