No need for popcorn...if both trucks stay together, the times don't lie, Gilbert is faster.

MAORA: me and grady raced for truck the truck class. there are more buggies than trucks. I'm going there for experience not numbers. I got about another year of racing before we get moved back west. Just here for fun.

on the times: you will be surprised for next race.
hole shot, pin it to win...before we just needed to finish now we are here for the win.

people who might be a problem:

David - wheelbase
Casey, Fish, Josh - well we know but power isn't everything
sideshow- if he preps it then he is fast again wheelbase
and everyone else who is new that I have not got a chance to see race.

Before I didn't race for time just getting to the finish. casey, fish, and josh were in different classes and no need to race them. now its on got to win.

I have pretty much studied everyone throughout the year. Go pros are awesome especially when you post your own. You can study me but never was fast enough to provide good feedback...

I'm there to win for the last race, next year its only maybe 2-3 races for me with trec. moving on to Maora races...we leave in the beginning of 2014 back to the west coast and back to the desert

Edit: just so everyone knows it sure was fun to race out with you guys. got to put on a good show for the last race..

I know some of you guys are new so ill go easy on you... no one in 4 years of trec has taken the hole shot from me. The only one time i didnt get the hole shot i forgot to put the jeep in 4wd... but i dont really consider that "being taken from me".

I would also be willing to bet that in 4 years of trec i have one of the best B class records out there. So keep racin boys and ill keep making things go smoothly and some day you'll catch up...

I haven't had anytime go look at our heep since last race, I finally got the water pump and alternator swapped out last night. Gear lube and fuel and she's ready to go.

Did you take out your throttle stop?

[EggsRanger]

Carlos, are you going to the next MAORA race in illinois? I'm thinking about going if the ranger survives oct. 6th TREC and if I can find someone to tow it out there.

[ctec4rxj]

I should be there for the maora race I will be driving on sat and on sunday all the co drivers from this year are taking turns driving the truck for the enduro race. I think grady said he was going also. I'm going to ask one other person to see if he is going also but don't know he hasn't raced all year.

[EggsRanger]

Cool, hopefully I will see you out there again and be racing this time. Any idea on the expected turnout? more than 2 trucks?

[93yj8?]

The last enduro was 2.75 hours 92 miles..88 laps ....
18 rigs started,2 made it 2.75 hours
(Was supposed to be 3 hours)

[Vu14TJ]

Sounds boring

[ctec4rxj]

Maora: supposedly a lot more truck, I will pm on facebook when i know more.

Back to the regularly scheduled program:

any word on the course layout for this race? is it going to be a long course maybe some jumps, rocks, long whoop sections....I hope it is going to be a good course for this last race. I can't wait!!

[lwt002]

Course layout:

We are going to do a 1.12 mile endurance course with huge jumps (1ft tall) and ravaging whoop sections (6" deep) and a bunch of left turns. We will be racing for 7 hours and expect the fast guys to finish 349 laps. Dont forget to stop and put gas in your rig or you will never finish.

My B Class Record is 100% wins!!

In all seriousness glad everyone is stepping it up for the last race. I think it would be awesome to get a pack of racers running close and passing and banging like we used to do in c class. Unfortunately IM stuck in washington for work and dont know how much prep im going to be able to get done to join in on the fun. ill be there for sure, but i unfortunately dont have a throttle stop and the poor cherokee is starting to show it. And...looking forward to the landrush start as well. nothing like making the hard turn with the grill facing the barrel the whole time!
