Happy with Parker pre-run
Good pre-run for Parker this past week. Everything is in place and we’re looking to get back on course.
Gearing up for the 2019 Parker “425”
The BSRMotorSports team is working diligently to get the 6100 ready for Parker this coming January / February of 2019. We plan to get the a arms squared away to cut back on the wheel vibration. That’s the main thing.
Where looking around for an appropriate mascot for the team and may have found one. Soon to be revealed. Nothing promotes good a good team better than a carefully selected and well heeled mascot.
Hope to see y’all in Arizona!!!
Heading to Laughlin
Tech was yesterday. Looking for some leaders today. Here we go!
Missing my dog.
We’ll get back to you with some results…
Day at the races
70 finishes first in “Trophy Class” Pahrump Nugget 250 (2018)
We started the day off right with a good breakfast and started out for the course. The BSRM team dressed for the cool temps on this festive occasion and waited at the 150 mile mark (pit 3) while the leaders went by. Nothing highly unusual during the race with the exception of the Tracy Graf and co-pilot roll. Both came out of the crash OK, thank God!
It was quite noticeable that there were many locals around and they seemed to enjoy the event. There were those who may have thought differently though, as the Voss team had trouble with 3 miles to go before the finish line.
It was much fun watching the exhausted roll in at the end and a hearty congrats to the winners of this year’s Pahrump Nugget 250.
Looking forward to “Rage at the River in Laughlin, NV.
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!
NFR coming to Vegas
Bonnie Springs Gate Portal
The National Finals Rodeo is coming to Las Vegas. The dates are December 6th through the 15th. Along with all the excitement of the rodeo comes quite a bit of opportunity for the community at large. Bonnie Springs Ranch (our home turf) will be a direct beneficiary of those peripheral benefits. We will be serving as a host to several participants of the rodeo, and sellers and buyers of live stock throughout the week of NFR. This not only brings us a pocket full of change, but it gives us a chance to meet some of the great folks associated with the rodeo. See y’all soon.
Bronco is back in action
We hauled the Bronco down to Mexico with the dually. She is riding real good since the last fix. Alan even had an opportunity to take the Bronco out for a spin on a 60° climb with Joe in tow.
