๐ SWABUJE BALTIMORE 500 RECAP โ WHAT A WEEKEND! ๐
Dust. Navigation. Flat tyres. Broken equipment. And a whole lot of pushing! ๐ฅ
The Baltimore 500 definitely tested us this weekend, but we never gave up and came away with a 4th overall finish and 2nd in class! ๐๐ช
We started 6th on the prologue and went into the main race starting 7th.
๐ฅ DAY 1
Day 1 was a solid run. We kept the car clean and consistent, despite making a few small mistakes.
We pushed hard all day and managed to finish 3rd overall and 3rd in class โ putting us in a strong position heading into Day 2.
๐ฅ DAY 2 โ THE DRAMA!
Starting 3rd on the route, we were ready to push.
Only 20 km into the day, disaster struck โ FLAT TYRE! ๐ฉ
What should have been a quick wheel change turned into a nightmare when the jack broke and the wheel decided it wasnโt coming off the hub! ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
We lost around 10 minutes, but instead of giving up, we got it sorted, got back in the race and started pushing again! ๐ฅ
The dust through the bush was absolutely brutal, with visibility getting extremely difficult at times. The navigation was also seriously tricky, but luckily I had Keith Smith next to me, who was absolutely on point all weekend! ๐
We kept pushing right to the finish and managed to bring it home 4th overall and 2nd in our class! ๐๐ฅ
Not the perfect weekend, but a weekend that showed what this team is made of. When things go wrong, we donโt stop โ we fight our way back! ๐ช๐ฅ
A massive THANK YOU to everyone who makes this possible:
๐ LTX Landini
๐ Dusty Transport
๐ Phoenix Panelbeaters
๐ Champion Tyres
๐ Boss Propshaft
And of course, a huge thank you to Keith Smith for keeping the navigation spot-on when it mattered most!
4th Overall ๐ | 2nd in Class ๐ฅ
Another race done. Another result in the books.
WEโLL BE BACK! ๐ฅ๐
