  • One week til the last race of the season – VORRA at Prairie City

    "What do you wanna do?" "I dunno. What do you wanna do?"

    Bob and Crusty confab as we button up 1107 for Prairie City.

    One week til VORRA’s Prairie City season finale double header and 1107 is pretty much buttoned up. Shocks in. Some of the tires on. Stripped out everything that weighs anything that isn’t absolutely necessary (or required by the rules) for short course racing.

    Crusty, Dave and I arrive midday Friday for tech, contingency and practice. Three races Saturday and three more Sunday. A good time will be had by all. Photos from today’s work are here.

  • Coming into the last race of the year in first place

    Got our fingers crossed for the last race of the season.

    We’ve got a pretty solid lead heading in to the last two short course races of the season Halloween weekend at Prairie City.

    A little less than two weeks to go before our final races of the season Halloween weekend. The shocks are on their way back from Bilstein, Crusty has the new front beam ready to go and we’ll be doing a work day this weekend to bolt everything in place.

    Crusty and I will likely head out early Friday morning to snag one of those swank shade structures in the pit area and stake out some space with “CRIME SCENE” tape to keep interlopers at bay. Tech and contingency Friday afternoon, then two full days of racing Saturday and Sunday. Definitely looking like Crusty, Bob and Romy in the driver seat with Skid, Jen and a couple of surprise guests doing co-driver duty.

    Getting ready for a major update to the DDR website. Should be cool.

  • Some fabulous video of VORRA’s “The 24” courtesy of Chris Calderone

    How do I convince Chris to shoot all our races?

  • But wait…more video from VORRA’s “The 24”

    Check out the rooster tails on this one. Thanks again to Pat Calderone and his crew for sending me these.

    At our next team meeting, I’m talking with the guys about doing something like this for the Halloween weekend short course finale at Prairie City.

  • Emme’s photos from VORRA’s “The 24”

    Par-tay

    “I am so glad to be done.”

    Emme sent me approximately six gajillion photos from The 24. I was like “Some of these aren’t of 1107.” She was like “Get over it.“
