Well here we go, round two of the Ultra4 Grandslam of Off-road Racing the BITD Ultra4 Silverstate 300. We will be using this thread to attempt to get you as much info as possible from Las Vegas Nevada for the 300 mile race through the Eastern Nevada Desert.

The race will traverse many elevation changes and weather will be on everyones minds as we wait for word of a small storm progression. Pre runners reported standing snow two weeks ago, and the course was diverted around the worst of it. With this latest storm the Ultra4 cars will gain an advantage. Course is fairly smooth with a large contingency of fire roads, silt beds and water crossings. With a lack of the regular miles of whoops it is possible that the Ultra4s will record new top speeds for the class.

This weekends coverage is courtesy of PRP seats, make sure you check out the new PRP factory race program, the new PRP pricing and updated web site. Aaron Wedeking the original owner of PRP seats has returned and hopes to bring back the reputation of the best choice in custom racing seats.

Our still photographer this weekend will be Lewis Prock, KRT here on the Pirate Board, Mike Badami from Pinned TV will be handeling the Contingency film, Adam Woodlee will be our Color Commentary, and Angie Baby will be uploading as fast as she can when ever she finds a connection. Additionally Adam has invited some arm candy to help out. Team Big Ugly will be adding updates as they can and look for other teams to post as well. Hopefully Yoders Team can update as well, as Charlene will be following Yoder around the desert.

Internet connections are going to be a problem this wekend as we will not have the Pimp ass Pirate4x4.com media van with us, but we will do our best. Please take a moment to update the thread with live tracker updates if you can, as we will not have that info in the field.

Exclusive media rights to Sopwith Media will prevent us from coverage of any classes outside Ultra4, but there is a black and green 4 wheel drive car we will attempt to follow as well. This will be experimental all the way so bare with us and please update as you see fit.


So far we have a very strong showing in Ultra4 with 17 cars pre registered or commited to onsite registration. This puts us in one of the largest classes in the BITD Silverstate300.

Your entry list is as follows.
1 4402 Stearns
2 4488 Watson
3 4401 Schneider
4 4452 Beadle
5 4410 Warner
6 4432 Lovell
7 4435 Sacalas
8 4455 Mooneyham
9 4499 Haines
10 4411 Bulloch
11 4434 Yoder
12 4461 Napier
____________________End of pre reg
Known participants not pre registerd
13 Cole 4454
14 Carpenter 4405
15 Klein 4403
16 King Healey 4428
17 Todd McCullen 4422


As you can see from the starting grid that there is going to be a hell of a battle in Ultra4. The rookie Kevin Sterns from Pacific Fabrication has the pole position in the Chevy Blazer, but aspires to finish the race. The class knows better than to under rate a team after the 4435 Big Ugly Team upset the field at the 2009 Vegas to Reno.

Who will win the Ultra4 Silver State 300?


Goodluck to all the teams as we head off to Las Vegas Nevada. You can also follow along on my facebook account. Coverage starts Thursday afternoon.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. This Just in>>>>>>>>>>>


King Healey chase crew comes up short. RJ Brown report..... It has not burned down, but his Dodge has burned a Turbo only hours before the team decends upon Las Vegas. RJ is never satisfied with an easy trip and that man loves Fire.............. :flipoff2:

Going to be an awesome event! Can't wait to leave tomorrow and get away from this snow :rolleyes:

This puts us in one of the largest classies in the BITD Silverstate300.

Napier for the win!

Still working on it, cutting it close...

Team flyin' zucchini will be heading out tonight. One guy left at 5am, should put him here in time to leave around 10pm. That'll mean we might make it in time for drinks Thursday.


Don't go to bed early on us. :D

:smokin:
Will be doing my best to get the Ultra 4's covered!

Good Luck guys! It's awesome to see a field of almost 20 at such a new series!

The definition of irony....

I sold my enclosed trailer, and 3 day's later need to tow my buggy to a race in the snow... FML...


If we're short pit support it will just make for a better post race story, having to get out pad pit for ourselves, as our one lonly pit guy hopefully get's to the pit's on time :laughing:

good thing Dave Cole is going to take the class and overall win, so the rest of us don't have to race for anything other than fun :homer:

Since we don't have Full blown Pirate Live Coverage this weekend, hopefully we can show potential sponsors the value by kicking up the sales and get the pirate van out to these races.

Rob

is anyone stuck at home want to host cell phone updates???

i can let ya know when we win...:grinpimp:

#4432 is ready and leaving tomorrow. I spent the day packing tools and gathering spare parts. I don't know what is up, it seems like we are ready early?!?

I have some updates, and thanks to the teams that are calling and snitching-sharing information on each other.:flipoff2:


First, Rumor has it that Ben Napier was yet again allowed to enter the United States and go racing this weekend but he did so after a nearly 24 hour plane trip from Malaysia:eek::eek::eek: You want stick of Gum GI?:grinpimp:
According to inside reports Ben is awaiting Differential parts that are showing up UPS Tomorrow AM. Down to the wire for the Aussie. The Aussie is really serious about this Ultra4 racing as he has been alledgedly Shopping for a chase truck and trailer to keep Stateside.

Pacific fabrication's Kevin Sterns in the 4402 attempted Shock Tuning today with Bilstein Shock Guru Joel Ward but reports confirm that Barstow has been Rained OUT! The 4402 is on a trailer and headed to the Ridgway Compound for a final prep nut and bolt. Joel will attempt final shock Tuning in the AM.

In final news we have on good authority that the 4454 is looking ready to race with nearly a complete rebuild since the King of the Hammers. Final nut and bolt inspection has yield a couple suspect Hiem joints so "Bleeding Wallet" Dave Cole was headed back to the supply house we all love to hate to donate blood.

But wait there's more!
Concern in the Cole racing camp has turned to fearless leader Dave Cole. Dave himself reports "Dipping into the Karma Debt bank" a little too hard.

After Puking his guts out all morning Dave was able to bounce back. " I have not felt this light since the 7th grade" Dave said in an afternoon interview. In his new lighter faster version, Dave than went on to report he was travelling 57 MPH in a 25 MPH zone when he passed a CHP officer half way in on coming traffic. Sure that he was going to jail, Dave pulled to the side of the road. His cell phone chirpped informing him his Karma Bank account had been acessed, and Dave peeled the Fawk out!

We will update as we recieve.

This report Brought to you by; Canadian Club..... Damn right your Dad drank it!

I will be leaving for the SS300 thursday. I will be at contingency and then going to the pits on Saturday for help. I am happy to help any 4400 teams. Let me know how I can help you have a good race. After this race I am on my way back to the Rauch Creek KOH Qualifyer

Creighton King
801-718-2216

Good luck to all the 4400's... Looking forward to seeing how this pans out.

Team Watson Is doing a last minute thrashfest, but the weather is a growing concern. Storm is expected to hit by nightfall, and this provides the possibility that the Watson family will need to transport all the way in potentially bad weather. No major issues just the typical last minute wrenching.


As we turn to the weather, unsubstantiated rumors are that snow has fallen at the upper elevations of the race course. This could make for a very interesting Race, as pre run reports in the snow covered passes reported an hour long wait to make a few of the climbs. Ultra4 cars may want to grab Low range and drive around on top of or over, but this is not KOH and the class one guys might get offended.

Awesome!

I know one that probably wont!!!:smokin::smokin:

I doubt either one of the guys in that car would have much problems with it but from what reports I have heard of that car I am not sure many of the 4400 guys will be able to use him for traction unless he breaks something. I can't wait to see how it works.

The 4400 class is looking highly compeditive this time too.

DSI's open header test run #1 complete. Fawk is it loud! but the DSI rebuilt trans has 3 forward and 1 backwards gear, the modified kevco doesn't leak, and it's capable of some sweet high speed drift's at it's new lowered height :) The snow doesn't hurt either ;)


this report brought to you by the Miller Lite Wyatt left in the shop fridge on his visit last night :beer: :barf:

Just got home from Cali, made a suicide run to Mound House yesterday via HWY50 from SAC and drank err I mean spun a few wrenchs on the 4401. CONTENDER!!! DSI claims he's going to Sunday drive it, but we all know how thats works. DSI has made some additional tweaks to the car and it should have came home from the exhaust shop today.

BTW when they say the pass is closed due to snow and ice. And your Rental Nissan Shitbox doesnt have chains or even enough power to peel out on ice...make sure you have a full tank of gas. It will help when you BS the Caltrans guys into laughing your ass through the checkpoint saying they'll find you in the morning as long as you have a full tank of gas now. 4.5 hours from S. Lake Tahoe to Sac sounds about right :laughing:, drifting turns and dodging Bambi and her family....beats suicidal bunnies any night. :eek:

If Dave Cole can keep tires on his car, and not outdrive the ass end, he'll finish. I want to see Lovell on the podium, or Sleazy Rick :eek: yeah he's due a win he's been been a loser for too long. :flipoff2:

4401 for the win though, its race, but you got to finish, I'm sure that car and DSI and Tim will get that car over the FL.


Get it this weekend guys, be safe, have fun, and $50 to whoever nerfs Mooneyham the hardest :smokin:

4400 Guys should be praying for snow - lots of snow. Maybe a top 5 finish in a rock crawler. :smokin: That would definitely shake up some desert racers. :laughing:

Desertfab Racing #4422 Is doing last minute prep, after stretch the wheelbase to 118" but is made to put back to the 107" wheelbase when needed:p
Will be leaving early friday morning.

DSI's open header test run #1 complete. Fawk is it loud! but the DSI rebuilt trans has 3 forward and 1 backwards gear, the modified kevco doesn't leak, and it's capable of some sweet high speed drift's at it's new lowered height :) The snow doesn't hurt either ;)

Glad that beer didnt go to waste, LOL. We going to have to wait until Friday for some Rally Car pics?

Snow? Advantage = Canadians. :grinpimp:

Good luck to everyone! Unfortunately I will be at the Hammers at the Tin Bender Jamboree. Have fun!

edit - It there really is going to be any significant amount of snow, don't run red labels or you will be sorry!

4405 Update! Car is as ready as it can get, bolted on a spare fuel pump and packed the chase truck! Just need to load up the trailer and peel out tomorrow! Look for us in Vegas round 2 am!:D

The Warners pit crew will also be sending live updates home to us and we will be hosting them on Crawlinbc.com:beer:

Good luck to everyone.....be safe out there :)

Yep, they let me in again!

Well after 60 something hours with little to no sleep, but far too much free airline booze, I'm done.
Tomorrow morning we pick up some parts, button up the Bomber and it's up the road to Vegas.

My new chase truck arrived earlier in the race, and I'm handing over the keys to two guys I've never met, but thanks heaps for volunteering guys. It turned up on the top level of a transport truck, and let's just say that a dually doesn't really fit on a normal 8 car transport trailer. The pics are interesting to say the least, I'll try and get them up. Additionally it turned up with no plates, and the title is in the mail, so I'm not actually sure how legal I am driving it, but I have a piece of paper that says's I'm from Australia, and really the CHP should just be happy I'm driving on the correct side of the road! Maybe Cole could send some karma this way?

Sometimes I hate my car.... now is one of them... I'm waiting for the oil to drain, for the 3rd time today so I can pull the pan... AGAIN!


Otherwise race ready. did a few nice snowy drift's in the parking lot :laughing:

Good luck to everyone! Unfortunately I will be at the Hammers at the Tin Bender Jamboree. Have fun!

edit - It there really is going to be any significant amount of snow, don't run red labels or you will be sorry!

What's the issues w/ reds and snow?

They suck.

Yuppers, Red's + snow = going nowhere :eek:

2 of us got stuck going downhill a few years back....both of us on 39 Red's:laughing:

Come awn sleazy rick..............:D

I just had a heart to heart with the 4454. Anyway, we have an agreement and we both could use a solid finish this year.

I showed her a map of where the finish line was on her bare chassis. Then she told me about an extra gear that she has that NONE of the other Ultra 4s have...and anytime I need to make a pass, just upshift again and we'll fly right by.

I told her about the reinforced front bumper for punting Easy Rick, and the reinforced rear bumper for blind-ass Aussie driver's named Ben. (But, I'm not naming names.) She was happy to hear about the 16 fire extinguishers we added and bigger steering wheel so I have a clearer view (now my vision isn't obstructed by the dumb steering wheel...I can look under it.)

Well it's almost 3am, again, and I need to get up in a few hours to finish prepping. We will be leaving tonight.

Come awn sleazy rick..............:D

Ricks in shock, and mourning the passing away of one of his best friends.

Bruce Creed was the team manager, and logistics guru. He was a great guy, and loved wheeling. He will be sorely missed, god speed to Heaven my friend.

The car is ready, with a reinforced rear bumper, so bring it on, if you can catch he and Scott.

Gene

Good luck to "almost" everyone in the class:flipoff2:

I will be living the race through your updates:laughing:

Ben- If you can't find the two guys that you gave the brand new truck to, we probably got arrested for driving an unlicensed/unregistered truck that was sold to an Australian but has an American driving... That or we gambled it away at the host hotel. Hopefully neither...:flipoff2:

Gene sorry to hear about the loss. If I know Rick he will win this for his teammate. Odds just shifted, glad I did not post my Tony T impression yet.

Just talk funny when they pull you over and say things like, G'Day officer, hard to believe but my mate left me hanging out here like dogs balls with not a spot of the proper paperwork.

Testing yesterday was not rained out but it was cold and windy. The team is now sleeping after a late night shock revalve and we will do some more tuning this morning.

-Joel @ Bilstein

Can I go back to sleep? Getting the stupid kevco to stop leaking so I can get to exhaust is all that's left. Same spot the car was in 18 hours ago.


And let it snow! :laughing: my chase truck has chains, and 4wd!

Colo. Update. snow last night not so bad. Jobsites reporting 3" to 5" total but melting fast. Telling owners rep that his meeting with the State inspectors isn't important enough for me to quit reading Pirate.:laughing: This should allow me to finish work earlier than planned and get on the road.

Car should be ready to go. I spent last night finishing the notes from the prerun and getting them in the GPS. Dad and brother finished the car prep and were putting side panels on at 6:00 last night. Probably loading the trailer as we speak. Don't really know cause they aren't in the office and Verizon lost a switching something or the other in Denver and lost all cell coverage in Western Colorado, southern Wyoming and more.

Car and Chase 1 should leave by mid day. Chase 2 is waiting for me to get off work sometime later and get on the road.

Good luck Brandon- Wish we could be there.
Be safe, have fun and cross the finish line first!

GO 4488

#4499 may need another pit crew person for Chase 2, if your interested PM me or hit up Jesse's cell if you know him.

4432 Hitting the highway in an hour.:smokin:

4401 still in a holding pattern. no oil pan...

put it in right the first time and you wont have this problem

put it in right the first time and you wont have this problem

That's not the problem. Kevco doesn't do a pan with one straight and one 45 degree fitting. and in cutting one straight fitting off, the pan de laminated around the flange, and is leaking out the seams. Dave cut the fittings off, and has welded the flange back together, and is in the process of putting new fitting's on.

We will see. :homer:

4402 is running well, Joel from Bilstein did an awesome job of tuning the truck. Thank you again Joel for spending two days in Barstow getting us dialed in. We're on the road and should arrive in Vegas by 2:30pm.

Word from the front...>>>...>..>...>>>...>.




Shannon Campbell has made his first pass at SilverState Qualifying. RJ Brown reports car was wayyyyYYYyyyy faster then the first two in the tight sections, But needs more motor in the fast sections. We will update as we recieve word on how his qualifier run goes.

Just checked into my Room here at the Aliante, I have a good conection in my room, but not so good anywhere else. I will need to find a Verizon card for tech.

As I type this more word from Qualifying.

The dirt is starting to dry up and the guys on the rev limiters are starting just spin.. Silt beds are now forming.

King Healey is on site and just had breakfast..... Should be a good night tonight.... If your not here you should be.

Qualifier is favoring the class 1500(class1) cars over the Trick Trucks (Trophy trucks) The course is very tight. Fingers crossed that this alos favors the 4x4 Campbell car. Trying to figure out how to get a few pics up.

Shannon On Course Right now!

Shannon looks extremely fast. There is a buggy upside down on the course so they have stopped Qualifying for the moment.

Shannon's run was disrupted by the rolled over car, so his time was not as fast as it could have been.

Team 4435 checking in from the road! We're just crossing the state line as I type this. Based on the pre-run two weeks ago, pulling up pirate from the road aint gonna be easy, but I'll try! I am updating our facebook fan page via blackberry email service which works where data coverage doesn't, so if you want up to the minute coverage I'l be posting it to our facebook page. (Just click on the link in my signature).

The speeds are climbing now as the course gets burned in. Bad Apple and the ORW Buggy both settled into a fast pace throughout the course.

Voss racing fastest TT so far.

Breaking News! Shannon Campbell


BITD Offered the Campbell team a re-run of there qualifier due to a rolled over car during the run... Campbell turns down the offer and says he will stick with his time.

One can only assume that this move could be based on course conditions, or Shannon just ran right by the rolled over car. Practice, after all in that situation.:flipoff2:

C'mon!


Go Shannon Go!

Desertfab Racing is ready as can be, heading out in the Morning early.

RJ Brown reports, Qualifier course has gone to hell. Trucks are having a hard time climbing a hill on the course. good thing Shannon stayed with his time.

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=852&pictureid=7608


Dave Cole and team have employed a new stradigty.......Visual imprinting of the car. The method involves showing the car the goal, for a long period of time. Hopefully it will go after the checkers like a bull to a cape.

Love it! see ya'll tomorrow

That does it for qualifying. I can not report the outcome due to our limited credential, But Shannon reports that he has plenty more in the car, and that he is saving it for the big race.

That concludes our updates for now. We will post up from the bar later tonight.

Just got a text from tammy... shannon qualified 8th. :smokin:

team 4401 just did one last run before loading up. transmission only has 1 forward gear, 1st gear in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd., neutral reverse and park all work great.


Unless the transmission fairy comes and changes it out, I'm going to conceded the series point's championship to Dave Cole for 2010, and heckle him relentlessly for winning it by default! :laughing: :flipoff2:

That does it for qualifying. I can not report the outcome due to our limited credential, But Shannon reports that he has plenty more in the car, and that he is saving it for the big race.

That concludes our updates for now. We will post up from the bar later tonight.

Good luck to all participants!

Out the door.

Heading to the shop, last minute button ups and then on to Vegas some time tonight.

Dave

When you said tonight...you really meant like while it was still dark outside, right? :flipoff2:

We will be leaving in about 4 hours if things go smooth. I'd rather find problems here in the shop than out on the race course. Nothing too big, just checking EVERYTHING, over and over, and over.

DSI...check the governor in your trans. I'm sure you have but jus sayin. That's exactly what happened to the Trent Fab buggy at the first VORRA race.

King Healey is leaning into it.

Kevin Sterns and the Pacific fab team, are ready to race.

A lot of teams still not here last night.

*yawn* get some new material.....



Evidently the transmission fairy does exist :laughing: I just got a call that my car is fully assembled and ready to go. When i left it, it was still mostly assembled with a bad trans.

So, despite my lack of wanting to work on the car anymore, a few good friends pulled an all nighter to do it. Going to meet everyone in an hour to load up. I hope the thing's put back together right :laughing:

Looks like the BITD website has been hacked??? guess we will have to get our GPS downloads on site?

Dave Cole and team have employed a new stradigty.......Visual imprinting of the car. The method involves showing the car the goal, for a long period of time. Hopefully it will go after the checkers like a bull to a cape.

Will the checkered flag be located in pit 1 like it was at Parker? :eek: Good luck to everyone!

Just got a text from tammy... shannon qualified 8th. :smokin:

Just left Jeff to pick up some lunch and upload some interviews. We'd had 9 4400 cars go through at that point. Cold and windy here, but otherwise a beautiful day in Vegas.

GGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDdddddddd Morning Race Fans!


The weather is expected to be amazing today in the Nevada Desert for the Ultra4 SilverState 300. Teams are already underway and the halls of the Aliante are busy with race ready traffic. A number of the Ultra4 teams left for Alamo last night.

Thanks to Bob Ridgway for the BBQ last night. tailgate style. Awesome.

Casey Folks reports that his advanced recon teams have found no snow on the course, but there are multiple water crossings in the 2 foot deeep range.

Go boys!!!

Thanks for all the updates and pictures to all that are present and keep bringing us updates.

Jeff if you see Dave give him a big hug from us back home and give Chris a little hug. Chris seems pretty excited with all the pep talks he has been having with the 4454.

Good luck to all the 4400 teams. Be safe and go fast!!!

Its to early to be awake! With a long
challanging last min set of issues to
overcome to get here. Short of about
50 zip ties the 4401 is finally ready
for a nice Saturday cruise through the
desert.

And to the person who texted me offering
A bounty for nerfing another car.
Sorry. Karma is a bitch. And I don't need
To poss her off today.

Is there a projected start time? I spoke with Dave on Thursday and he said later in the day...not sure if that was before the class was moved up or not?

Jeff I have to ask...how was the meat cooked? Bob had a unique style when Bender and I lived there. It was called turn the heat up as high as it goes...throw the slab of meat on and let it burn (I mean cook). Don't get me wrong I didn't miss many meals but a 4lb sirloin usually came out weighing about 1lb. Sorry Bob...had to ask:grinpimp:

Missed one last night.

http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss273/KRT-09/SS%20300/ss25.jpg

I see from work that all but the 4455 and 4402 have either showed up at the staging area or their trackers are not working.

Good luck to the 4405 boy's! Get some!!! :evil:

1400 trucks are off the starting line!

4488 is off the line...go get em 4400 series!!!

There seems to be some kind of jam at MM6 for all classes.

1500 trucks finally get out of log jam at MM6 and are hitting speeds of close to 80moh at MM9.

1554 of Shannon Campbell is shown off the rack...but I am not sure if their tracker is working properly.

106mph at MM12 for team 1505

1554 of Campbell back on track at MM9.

There seems to be some kind of jam at MM6 for all classes.

Does anyone know what this is all about??

Looks like everyone but 4410 is stopped together. 4410 looks lost.

4402 at the casino??:laughing:

Anyone know what the traffic jam is about?... just curious.

It would appear as though the 1st 5 miles were a warm-up or who knows parade route. All classes stopped there. The 4400 series will start right after the 1100 series if you are tracking. Not long now before they are racing!

Sorry for the mis-information before.

I'm starting to think that RM6 is the start line on the map.... It would make sense.... maybe they haven't started yet....

edit: Beat me to it...

11 rigs in the 7200 series 8 in the 1100...then the 4400. I am going off the tracker and 2500 miles away. My info may not be the most up to date by minute...but it is all I have.

I do know Campbells tracker is broken in the 1500 series.

I do know Campbells tracker is broken in the 1500 series.

That is what I figured, his has not updated in a while. Bummer...
Hope all of the 4400 class has a great race and earns some respect today!

i think by the turnout of 4400 rigs they already earned repsect. As earlier posted by Jeff they moved them from the back of the field to the middle because of the tunrnout. Unofficially it looks like they have the 2nd or 3rd largest class.

I just hope they are all safe...they all do well...but the 4454 does just a little better:flipoff2:

Agreed, but racing hard and finishing well will be what will raise some eyebrows with the desert crowd.

Google Earth @ 37 23.36, -115 07.11 doesnt look like anything but a Fireroad. So doesnt look like a choke point, or river crossing or anything.
I'm wondering if there wasnt a bad wreck on course???

I am pretty sure judging by the way the series have been starting that it was a controlled stop of some kind. Dave told me they would be starting around 2ish...just about on time as the 1100 series has started.

4400 is next!

Thanks for the update!

Just got word from 4488 team that is the starting line-

4402 first off the line
4488 second
4401 third

Will be interesting to see how the trackers do today, one of the 1500 cars was showing 439 mph :eek::laughing:

Should be show time!

4488 is off. Will hit a fast section between MM10 and MM15 so we should get good idea of speeds.

EZ just hit 93mph!!

seems as though a bunch of the 4400's are still stopped. Kevin Yoder is moving though...:confused:

Top speeds through MM 15 4488-68mph, 4452-73mph, 4455-93mph, 4432-76mph,4435-81mph, 4455-93mph, 4411-75mph, 4434-91mph

4422-69mph, 4454-73mph, 4422-69mph

4488 has passed 1102 and 1048 just before MM25. Go 4400's!

4454-85mph...KING HEALY 4428 99MPH!!!!!!

wow! they are showing Loren Healey at 99MPH in the 4400 class!! :eek:

4455 is having a issue of some kind...hopefully tracker.

Watson's are out ahead! Lets see how long they can hold that lead.

Also looks like a very fast section at RM 82-92. The 1500's are hitting 100+ through that section.

looks like Watson is fighting dust trying to get around Fusting in an 11 car, looks like he's already picked off one 11 car, so 4400's are catching the class in front of them. Going to be intersting.

EasyRick has been sitting idle at RM18 for a while.....hopefully its just a tracker issue.

Does anyone know what the hold up was for the 4400 class at RM 6? Seems like maybe the trackers were not working, but they are now.

Does anyone know what the hold up was for the 4400 class at RM 6? Seems like maybe the trackers were not working, but they are now.

The official start line is what was being filtered out. The 1st 6 miles were ceremonial from town.

Watson, didnt pit at #1 so car must be good. Pit 1 stops coming up for everyone else.

4454 is moving through the pack rather steadily with the 4461 right behind him. Go Big Bro!

4435 didnt stop either.

4402 seems to be having issues or tracker problems.

Any word on Campbell abd EZ???

Dave has really moved up through the pack well!

Sorry Rob...2500 miles away. Watching IRC.

Just heard from 4488 that 4402 rolled, all ok- but out of the race.

4402 Stearns is rolled and backwards on the course at race mile 57. BiTD authorities have been notified. Shannon Campbell came through pit 2 about 40 minutes ago

Sitting here at pit 2 waiting for 4435 to come on through!

4454 just showed 0mph on IRC. SOrry got a little nervous. Back up to speed.

Sorry Rob...2500 miles away. Watching IRC.

I am sitting 2200 hundred miles away and watching too!! Sucks being in the cheap seats, see ya in a few weeks though!

It does suck sitting out here. Last year was my 1st RR ever. KOH this year was my 1st year. I won't miss either again!!! We need you to come up with a story line as dramatic as last years RCQ...are you up for it?

Dave and Yoder seem to be having a nice little battel there. Lovell has been at 0mph for a while.

Thanks for the updates guys!!
what is IRC? anyone have a llink?
Thanks!

4454 is having alternator problems. has let pit 2 know... still moving.

Depending on the severity, if the caliper is "broke off", then all they need to do is pinch the line shut (vice grips) and then the they can continue on with 3 wheel breaking.

Mo story line this year at RCQ, just want to finish and the points for IEC!!!

Sacales just closed fast on Watson.

Fastest I saw him was 91 and Watson about 84.:smokin: Let's see what the King hits when he gets there! Someone will break 100 I bet.

I meant "braking"!!

we're not stopping at pit 2! The guys are looking good!

Thanks Rob! Look forward to a good show in a few week.

I saw Loren Haley at 99mph about an hour ago. Thats the fastest I've seen anyone at so far. Not sure if it was right or not but he has been moving since then!

4435 took lead from 4488. Good job!

4401 is in the pits and they are stopping.

4434 is coming into pit 2... he is stiopping.

4454 moving again!!!!

Jesse Haines is in the pits with engine problems I'm hearing and Healey is also in the pit...

Time for me to leave work. Keep the updates coming. I will get home in about 40 minutes and check. Any updates on the 4454 would be great.

4435 showing 0mpm on IRC

Watson just got past the 1142 car they have been behind forever!!

4461 just showed 96 mph!!!!

They just showed Loren Healey at 134mph!!! That can't be right!!.....can it?:confused:

We tore the Car down and changed axle ratio, new billet converter and a few stickers...
First time out in a short wash in Farmington hit a 103MPH....
I hope he is hitting 134mph .....

where are you watching it or listening to it, we just got on and can find any live feed..
