Next race – VT Construction Silver State 300
Saturday, May 4, 2019– Race Day – Start line North of Alamo, NV
We are looking ahead to the VT Construction Silver State 300, but first we have work to do on the truck. After the Mint 400 we decided to make a couple of critical adjustments and we’re in the throes of doing that right now. According to our chief mechanic we are on schedule and will be ready for the race.
Thanks to all of our Facebook & Instagram friends for their kind words of support and we look forward to bringing you some good news regarding the upcoming race.
A look back at the mint
We now know what we didn’t know about the new truck. We’re making adjustments and look forward to the next race. We’re also looking back at the mint and accessing what can be improved upon in areas other than just the truck itself.
The Mint posed some interesting challenges, one of them being the steep, almost 90 degree edges, on many of the holes throughout the course.
Nevertheless, it was a great experience for the team and we’re looking forward to a great future!
Double Trouble at the Mint
It was a rough day for us at the 2019 “Mint 400”. We had a few problems along the way, but on lap 3 we suffered a broken rear axle. We worked hard to get back in the race, but couldn’t overcome the damaged axle which became twisted and welded together from the heat of the friction. All in all though, it gave us a great feel for which direction we need to go as far as the truck’s adjustments are concerned . Hats off to the crew for a great effort!
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.”
Testing the new truck for “THE MINT”
Ran out of daylight, so we tested the lights.
Just a couple more adjustments and we’ll be good to go!
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!
