I don't have much of a race report to put up, Ponce pretty much covered it. It was an AWESOME race! About the time that we were crossing the finish line, I was thinking to myself ,"There is no way I'm ever racing this again, this is ridiculous", but as soon as we got out I started thinking about how we are going to race next year. Jeff and Dave put together an absolutely brutal course, and can't wait to go back. What an honor for Ponce to call us up to race this race with him!
I just can't thank everyone enough that helped us out. We only had 3 weeks to prep the car, and friends immediately started just showing up at the shop to help with whatever they could. There is no way we could have made the trip without everyone's help.
On another hand, it still blows me away how friendly and helpful the people in this sport are. We met some pretty big names who were unbelievably cool. We had dinner over at the Campbell tent, and they were unexpectedly welcoming. They offered for us to pit with them. I think Chris Ridgeway helped us out winching through some trail that he and another rig were broken down on. I can't even name all the names of people we met, but I just couldn't believe how cool everyone was!
Not to mention, thanks to all the companies that helped us out! Lizard Skin, PSC Motorsports, Tribe 4x4 - thanks for checking out our steering in the middle of the race!, Tom Woods Driveshafts, Master Pull, Sway-A-Way, IRC Tracking, PCI Race Radios, Poly Performance, FOA, Longview Driveshaft & 4x4, Bike Barn - sorry if I left anyone out.
Last I'd like to thank all the friends and family at home that watched/tracked the race! What an awesome feeling to get off the lakebed and see all the comments and messages!
