I have been in a funk for awhile now and especially after my poor performance
at the Snowbird Nationals atlitle fault of my own and so many things going
wrong that no one could explain. I took a month long break and this was my
first race back and I just ran one class and Brian Davis let me borrow his Mod
X4 and we put a Motiv MC4 21.5 motor in and sent it. I did no setup work and
the car hit some things through the day butas the tires and the track grooved
up, this car showed to be the most aggressive car| have ever driven. Every
mistake was my fault and nerves and the car was great, l could have used a
little rear bite but didn't worry about it and just drove it as is. Got to the lead
and missed my mark by just a hair and lost it and got a litle frantic as the 2 car
in a 4 car train with very aggressive and skilled drivers behind me flubbed a
little and lost 2nd to another X4 and was able to hold of the 4th place car for
awhile till I was able to make a move back to 2nd and made a great pass which
is in Slow-mo to see the setup and ex*****on. I then pushed just a litle wide
whenI should have held the inside a little longer to hold the spot and ended up
side by side and we got collected andIwas able to hold 2nd till almost the end.
With about 1min to go l was defending hard and undercut a turn and caught a
dot and rolled the car losing out on 2nd and hadto settle for 4th. Not the best
result, but I feel very confident for the rest of the season as l have my own X4
on the way and excited to get it on the track and finally be able to work with
other racers on setups and have the best team support in the World.
Wanna thank Brian for leting me borrow his car and selling me 100% on going
Xray and thank Alexander Hagberg for bugging me every time he was near me
about not being Xray and being Yokomo and how it's a shame that he cant help.
And making myselfand so many others feel we have a real pro willing to help
and advise and be so in touch with the club racers striving to get better.
This is the first race report have done, but I intend to do many others and big
shout out to my Sponsor CNG AUTO, they can take care of any of your Jeep or
Diesel needs. Give him a call or just find him on Facebook and my man Luis will
get it done.
