I didn’t think there were this many people on the planet interested in off road racing.
We just passed 29,000 downloads of our iPhone, iPad and Android apps. I still think we’re the only off road racing team to have one, though you can always check out the DirtNewz app if you’re jonesing.
Lastly, the first of our fans in Saudia Arabia who contacts me? I send you a Desert Dingo t-shirt.
We’re jamming to get 1107 ready for VORRA’s “The 24” desert endurance race Labor Day weekend. Crusty went looking for a new nose but came up empty, so Bob will scour car parts yards in the Bay Area.
Crusty also shipped our shocks off to Bilstein. Joel said the damage was “commensurate with driving your car off a cliff.”
Ok, he didn’t really say that, but I think he wanted to. We’ll know more when they disassemble them this week.
Putting the race schedule together already. We have team members coming in from Ontario, Canada (by way of Las Vegas and Mexicali), Washington, D.C. (by way of Sacramento), someplace in Colorado (by way of Ontario, Calif.), Hesperia, Calif., Berkeley, Felton and Boulder Creek. I’ll be driving the team rat rod hauler with 1107 on board to Gerlach, hitchhiking into Burning Man for a couple of days, hitching out and driving to Fallon.
What could possibly go wrong?
We’re huge in Saudi Arabia. Srsly.
