  • Driver/codriver lineup for the VORRA Fallon 250 desert night race

    We make a cameo appearance in this video from Two Larrys Racing shot at the April Prairie City short course race.

    Bill is stuck in the Philippines because of a typhoon and won’t be back in time for the race. Here’s our current driver/co-driver lineup for this Saturday night’s race. We start at 6 p.m. and have until 3 a.m. to complete six 40 mile loops.

  • Smell the excitement – what it’s like to desert race


    This is pretty much “Dust to Glory” packed into five minutes.

    For some unknown reason, one of our GoPro cameras started recording upside down and it took me months to figure out how to fix it. Mostly months because I forgot about it and then about 10 minutes of Googling to solve the problem, courtesy of Quicktime Pro.

    This is Richard and me at the start of the Yerington 300. In this video you see us standing around, get buckled in, I fiddle with my iPhone, we fist-bump and at some point pass a Class 9 car. That’s pretty much desert racing in a nutshell.

    Coming up the weekend of July 16-18 – The Fallon 250 Desert Night Race.

  • Pre-running the Xtreme Outlaws 250

    Since I forgot to turn the camera on for the actual race, here’s video of us pre-running the Xtreme Outlaws 250. Cursed road hooligan Weasel in the red Petfinder Class 11 cuts in front of us without signaling, then we promptly get stuck in the silt and get towed out by a Hummer. Then Roger Norman in the No. 8 trophy truck blows our doors off.

    Team meeting tonight. Two page agenda.

  • This is how we roll (at the VORRA Yerington 300)

    Yerington 300 pre-race parade through town.

    After tech inspection on Saturday afternoon, the cars are impounded in the hotel parking lot across the street from the casino. Then, right around 6 p.m. everyone saddled up and paraded the length of the town twice, led by the sheriff. Pretty much everyone else headed back out to the pits, but flipped a U-turn and drove over to our race sponsor – Pizza Factory – for a meet ‘n greet. A good time was had by all.

    Thanks to Jason Baden with Reno Off-Road Motorsports who sent along this clip and some photos I’ll be posting shortly.
