Breaking News….
Due to circumstances beyond our control the BSRMotorsports team will not be racing in the VT Construction Silver State 300 next Saturday. Thank you to all of our supporters along the way.
Racing on a Sunday afternoon
We’ll take our place in the line up (position 22) in the 6100 class this Sunday at the “Mint 400.”
Trouble at Parker
About 120 miles out we ran into problems, but it felt good to get back out there and stretch the legs a little. Made some critical observations on how to improve things. Looking forward to the MINT!

Team BSRM goes to Pahrump
The Pahrump Nugget 250 -2018
Pahrump is just a hop skip and a jump away from Bonnie Springs Ranch (home base). It usually takes about an hour to get there legally. We’re checking the teams and vehicles out with an eye towards getting ready to participate in our next racing extravaganza. Our next edition of “Throttle Out” will describe some of the more interesting parts of the 250 and will also have some of the results.
Throttle Out
The off road oracle returns
It’s been a while since taking a serious look at why we race, but I must say it’s in the blood and with no way to leech out the excess. Don’t let the site of blood scare you away though, there is more to contemplate. While throttling out over the tops of the course a little devil appears on the shoulder only to encourage the foot to depress the pedal just a bit more and choke the wheel at the wright time while the little curve on the cliff beckons you off.
Here’s where the angel of hope waltz’s in and takes a seat on the dash pleading with you to reconsider the reasons why you’ve decided to throw caution to the wind and throttle out once again. Once in a while you get lucky, but most of all your skill level peaks at high speeds giving you every reason in the world to ignore that pesky little voice that begged you not to lurch off the last divot which caught everyone but you by surprise.
With a shake of the head everything becomes clear as you navigate the next stretch of dirt which demands you every fiber of strength. On to the finish line and then…
Good job, you just lost a tire!
