Lucerne 250 Sept 27th

[Blanco]

Who plans on racing or pitting or spectating this race?
This is a Class 3 cup Race & we could use all the support possible & it would be awesome to see a bunch of Class3Cup t-shirts there. :D

I will for sure be there one way or another. http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/7.gif

[pigracing]

If there's a decent turn out of c3 racers then I may try to make it out.

[lr3racer]

What up

WHAT UP. OC ROVERS will be racing the MDR . don't have the $$$$$$$$$$ for the SCORE PRIM RACE.:D

Lets try to get a large number of us going to this event! http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/7.gif

So far I have about 9 or 10 people going with me to this event. :D

[Yikes]

I was recruiting at FSB as well; however, it may just turn out to be Nick and I. We'll see.

So... IF we make this race, can I count on a few guys to stay sober long enough to pit us through the race?

I'm talking about having a jack, decent tools, and a couple people who can poor fuel or learn how?

We could probably cover main pit ok... but I would like to have at least one reliable remote pit.

Is anybody else thinking we should be allowed to race 5 laps... not 4?

That is only 172 miles??? arf.

I suppose we could approach MDR.

My pop thought he read that the fast classes were going to be split from the slower classes? I guess we fall into the "slower group" :(

:eek: http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/20.gif :rolleyes: Yeah right!
























On a serious note I always figure Pit as close as possible to the Checkers if their there.
They're a bunch of good guys that will help who ever needs it.

If I was'nt tied in with Class 3 so much, I'd always be at the race's with them. http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/7.gif

I have read they are doing that for the october superstition race so maybe that's where he got that from:confused:

If I can afford to go i'm willing to help in the pits. Don't have any experience pitting but i'm sure i can be useful in one way or another.

[Brokenbronco]

Yup Yup! I'd be glad to lend a hand!

[AngerIssues]

I have a few details to put in place, and will let you potential helpers know as soon as we say "yea or nea".

[Blanco]

Why is that? :confused:
Do you guys not drink? Or you'll drink after your duties are done?

[Yikes]

I like to have a few beers occasionally, but I don't drink away from home too much for day trips. If I'm camping, well, then I'll enjoy a couple of cold ones. And like you said, never before the job is done.

Close to Victorville & Barstow.

Do you know where they are?

[azdirtworx]

lol, ok i can find it...i will check with my buddy and see if he wants to head out....and check out the race and give you all a hand..

[Cervantes Racing]

Hey guys, FYI: The MDR California series does not have a group split start, just sent out by class, fastest ones first. Class 300 is normally in front of the 9's and the 11's which take off last, so 3's are for sure near the back of the bus in starting order.

[Blanco]

lol, ok i can find it...i will check with my buddy and see if he wants to head out....and check out the race and give you all a hand..

Sorry I did'nt realize you were actually considering comming out.

[AngerIssues]

That pretty much sums it up for me also.

Well camping is pretty much madatory here... no hotels within an easy reach... kind of a pain, actually.


It's official, I'm printing out the form and in spite of being short-handed and short on tires... the Crew Chief Ray says we can race!! :D

2009 will require some serious maintenance, but we figure we can limp around one more race course! :)

It's been about 600 miles since we did anything substantial... and the Mint was not easy... still no leaks or drips or misses!

Hope some of you guys/gals can make it out to race and/or spectate!

[azdirtworx]

I think were gonna head out there fellas.... so put us to work where ya need us... we work for grub and beverages...lmao... and a good time of course...:D

Ok, consider your self booked with the Anger Issues team.
I'll buy the hot dogs & Beer. :D

[Blanco]

Well camping is pretty much madatory here... no hotels within an easy reach... kind of a pain, actually.

Well Camping is fun & much cheaper, But...... If your the sort of guy that prefers a Hotel room & shower & bar & resturaunt etc etc.....

VictorVille is a pretty simple drive to lots of hotels/Motels, So dont let that scare any of you away.

Its about a 30/40 minute drive to the nearest hotel/Motels, but its wide open desert highways with no traffic lights. :)

So even if you dont have any camping gear its a short drive to the comfort of a nice room, etc.

Please wear your Class 3 Cups shirts if you arrive to show your support to those that dont even know about us. http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/7.gif

[azdirtworx]

well where do we get such shirts? and do ya have any in big belly sizes??? lol:p:p:p

I'm thinking that we'd like to try to set up a few people to man differents pits.
So if you were well prepped for what ever would happen, we'd feel safe placing you where we have no others to handle the potential scenerios. :o

& since your rigs are white should I bring some Black C3R sticker for you guys? :)

[Joe Rockhead]

I plan to drive out for the race in Lucerne.What time is the race Saturday? Just to introduce myself my name is Rob, I pitted with Greg from Bishop at pit B at Primm last weekend, took the hood off the Wright Bronco,and changed your tire.I have pitted many races at Lucerne over the years.I have been actively involved in desert racing since 84.Used to race those dangerous three wheelers!!Anyone need help?I will be out there. Glad to see Rick had such a fun time co driving last weekend. I'm the guy that ordered Mr.Pibb at the breakfast Sunday. I'll never do that again.That waitress was brutal!And remember,in Ethopia a pancake is a waffle!(The Moss team will get that!)

I was confused with the Joe Rockhead (who the heck is this?) then there was the Mr. Pibb reference, and I knew EXACTLY who it was. We really turned that Whiskey Pete's cafe upside down Sunday morning. Seems like it would be hard to do, but we did it without even trying. JR's good help. If I can figure out how to be 3 places at once that weekend, all 300+ miles apart........

[Joe Rockhead]

I got Joe Rockhead from a Flintstones cartoon.He is a the head of a volunteer fire department in a town that will never burn down! I got hit in the head with a big cast iron sink at work a couple days ago, so I'm a little out there!!

[AngerIssues]

Well Ken...looke like you have a volunteer army, what's the word from your end???


Cool, can we call it the Anger Issues Nation? Or does Dail Jr. have a patent on that?

I appreciate the offers, that is awesome! It will be me, my dad, Tom (co-dawg 1) and Cam (co-dawg 2). Mom will be there, of course, and Ta Ta (I'm mean La La) :D So we are a pretty small team and will take whatever help we can muster up! With a little luck, we won't need it!

We will try to pit near Gerry or any other Class 3 members.

I, infortunately, started a new project and there is NO way I can break free to be there for the pre-run. Cam and Tom are in charge of that. I will leave Burbank at 3:00 or so, and basically do the "rock-star" thing and show up to drive. I guess we must be camping, since I don't have my motorhome anymore, and hotels are a long ways away. Looks like a tent for the night!! Last time I pitched the tent a good mile or so away from the main pit (so I could sleep)... might do the SAME thing this time.

Really looking forward to meeting some of you guys. Anyone arriving Friday can find my truck (see avatar) and my Dad's name is Ray. Just introduce yourself!!

Ken

[Joe Rockhead]

I met your dad at the Mint. Nice guy.

[azdirtworx]

we are headin out to the race fri... and im hoping the beverages and good grub will be in order!!!! lol.... ya hope everyone can camp together, should be a good lil party.... I mean gathering..lol

[Broncodawg]

Welcome "JR". I guess you're a rockhead if you can walk away from a fight with a cast iron sink to the head! Greg here, thanks for helping out at Pit B and you'll have fun hooking up with the class 3 crew at Lucerne. Wish I could make it myself.

[Cervantes Racing]

We'll be out Friday supporting the numerous class 3's entered ;) Sal's done for the year for some overdue Maintenance (on the truck that is) and we'll be testing the Bug. See everyone out there.

I wish I could say it was "numerous"... :D It might only be two??

Anyway, good luck on the pre-run, wish I could be there. Are you taking tools? I want you girls to do some wrenching too! ;)

I'm sure you will test the helmet/radio combos, even if they are loner helmets for this day.

So the plan is:

Cam (co-dawg 2) takes Tom (co-dawg 1) on the pre-run.

Lara shows up with Team Cervantes and pre-runs in the Powder Puff rig. Lara is entered with our team, just in case.

Andy Leavitt is bringing his long-travel class 8/sportsman truck to pre-run, possibly with crew chief Ray, to follow Cam and Cervantes around a lap (or lead the crew).

I, unfortunately, leave work at 3:15 or so.... and arrive way too late.... :mad:

Oh well.

What time is the driver's meeting??

Ken

[Blanco]

So the plan is:

Cam (co-dawg 2) takes Tom (co-dawg 1) on the pre-run.
Yeah, that reminds me, Give him my number & PM me his..
I'm hoping I can Open my Tuffy box after I get there to be able to use my GPS during the pre-run. :rolleyes:



What time is the driver's meeting??

7 am is the Drivers meeting. http://www.mdrracing.com/california/6/

& the race starts at 8am.

How about a roll call of Pit volunteers do we have to help & how many peopl just comming out to hang out with us?

So Far I have on my list.

A friend of mine Chris & GF.
Maybe a friend of mine Emmy.

& looks like Yikes & BrokenBronco.

The Angry Tissues team.
The Ranger Rover Boys.

Mrs Cervantes in her Buggy.

probably a couple of friends of mine in a couple of Hardcore Pre-runner Rangers.


Who else? :confused:

[Blanco]

I just remembered, everyone remember to bring a wee bit of firewood. http://bestsmileys.com/camping/1.gif

[Yikes]

Give me a heads-up asap if you guys need help. I'll have CO2, an impact, drill, hi-lift, straps, oil, water and a good selection of tools on board. Anything else, let me know. What I don't have is a GPS. What frequency will you monitor? Give me the name as well.

If you don't need us, we're going to watch the race from the wall, most likely.

[Blanco]

Thanks Brian, I cant speak for Ken, but I know at the MINT we had his dad racing around from Pit to pit just in case & I would imagine having you available would be a big help.

But I suppose ken knows more of whats planned with his Pops & others that will be out there. http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif

I'd say if you prefer to set up a pit on the far side (assuming they have one), that would be awesome. We are 154.600. I don't think we need to worry about top-secret plan and pits at this point.

If not, I totally understand. Spectating can be fun too!!

I doubt we will try to send any of our skeleton crew over there... short laps, truck is well-prepped. I won't ever say "no" to an extra pit, but I haven't looked at the map - very very busy at work, and 1.5 hours each way commute. :mad:

Look us up when you get there. Look forward to it!! We will try to camp near the range rovers.

They are testing the bug for the powder-puff race. My plan, if this goes well, is to send the girls around the course on a lap... leaving in front of you cam... so you can sweep. The bug is race-ready, so chances are, you wouldn't see them at all. I hope their race radio can dial in a freq... but who knows.

154.600

[Blanco]

The current plan is for most of us in the Anger Issues team to be arriving at about Noon.

[Yikes]

Friday, right?

We're going to head out at 5:30am Saturday and should be there around 7-7:30. We'll look you guys up when we arrive. I'll have 3 other very capable guys with me. If you need a pit, we can git-r-dun right and at a good pace. Toss an extra spare in that I can drag out there.

Can't believe you're home already Joe!

I just called and talked to Blanco, and he confirmed the Anger Issues win. They trailed the Rover going into the 4th, but the Rover broke a trailing arm or something. They were able to get it repaired and bring it in for the finish for a 100% finishing rate for the class. Congratulations guys! Blanco did say they had some kind of toe out issue with the Bronco that they had to fix, but no other problems. He said they saw Yikes out at a remote pit all day long, but never had to stop in.

[Brokenbronco]

Congratz Ken!

[Yikes]

Congratulations fellas! I'll let Ken and the crew tell their story, but great race! They looked good coming by us all day. We were dieing for something to do, but it was great that they didn't need the pit. The race was close coming into the last lap. It was too bad the Rover broke the y link.

It was good meeting Ken and his crew. Great bunch of guys!! Looking forward to the next Class 3 race fellas!

Sad to say...no that wasn't me. I got stuck working today. That was probably Yikes, or maybe Convoy.

So what's the lowdown on that 1400 truck?

[Joe Rockhead]

It was so dusty at the wall you could not see anything.I HEARD a truck going fast,then the usual ugly sounds.Truck ended up on its side, then the power steering fluid caught fire.When the dust cleared. the truck had scorched fiberglass and looked like this ) bent like a u. OOPS!

Wow, it sure looks clear there. I assure you it was a white out situation just before that truck got upside down.

Hey guys,

_Was nice to finally meet a couple of guys from the web sites I frequent, even better to have some running the race. Well guys this is my first venture into spectating and photography, as I'm usually helping in a pit, chasing, waiting for my turn in the car, or Drinking Heavily. So I managed to get a couple of pics of some Class 3 action, I have some video too, but I wont go through that till later in the week though. These are some pics off camera 1, have some more pics coming in from my buddies camera just thought I'd get these up asap.

_Btw was a fun run with you guys out to the wall too, next time I'll cruise my rail with ya, or maybe even my bronco, so you dont have to wait on us..lol

No C3 uploaded yet, but here's a couple of quick clips I shot of Vessels TT. Crank it up!

Who's Trophy Truck is that? That thing looks fast!!

**EDIT; Never mind I found out.**

[Joe Rockhead]

That white Chevy 1463 in the picture snapped the right rear axle when he landed.The wheel and brake disc fell off and rolled to the side and the truck ground to a halt . Done for the day at mile 5.

Its was great to take the win! :D
But would been better to take it witout Jerrys broken parts.

It was a very tight race up to thet point.

After we stopped to help up-right that Class1Racing.com buggy,
http://www.prospectator.com/coppermine/albums/2008%20Photos/2008%20MDR%20Lucerne%20250/IMG_1107.jpg

We were on the chase by about 6 minutes & then gained on them by two minutes in the next lap, & then in lap 3 they had a problem.

I must admint I was excited & bummed all at the same time when we came upon then & took back the lead. :o

So at that point it was just cruise it through taking it easy with Tom at the wheel in his 1st ever time doing so.

& I must say even though Tom was basically laying back without the pressure of Jerry on our butt, Toms Lap time was only like 6 minutes slower than Than Kens time.

I think Tom might work out as a driver in the future. http://www.thewebwheeler.com/forums/images/smilies/humm_smilie.gif

I'll have some pics to post shorty. :)

I must say their very cool people!

Catheryn was just out to test her bug in prep for the powder puff race in Barstow.

Besides from some carb issues she seem to be running very strong.

Nice shots! This guy was having a good time. We were cheering him on everytime by, but by the last lap he didn't have much truck left. It looked like the fenders and the mounting framework were gone. It was 100% old school.

Just want to say NRT Chris if you're out there!! Holy cow!! You were on the gas coming down Bessemer Mine the first lap. Looked like a good 50% air time. That was the most impressive pass of the day. What happened after the first lap? Didn't see you guys after that.

[pigracing]

Sounds like you guys had a great race and a great after party.

I hear beer bong and suddenly you guys are speaking my language!

That's how you have to drive a JS against 1450:D. My new motor was running real good and the shocks are getting closer, i have never been able to drive the jeep that hard.

I need to put a fixed yoke on the trans and get a couple new drive shafts. It looks like the ones i have are to long and it broke the tail housing for the slip yoke. I also had a clogged fuel filter that made my wall jump less then spectacular.

This race was just a shake down for the Parker 400 in Feb. It was also my friend Matt's b-day.

The beer bonging was cool, I had to show that the 30 and over crowd can still BRING IT!! The girl would have been more fun 13 years ago;)

Yes that really is old school. Notice in the shot of it in the above post it doesnt have any downbars on the back of the cage, no headrests, questionable diagonals etc. MDR really is a professional organization. At least the beer bongs are plentiful though in the pits.

She seemed about 20 years old to us? :confused:

It was fun watching her do some dirty dancing with Maggie. :D:D

**EDIT; Never mind I found out.**


Ya, great to see Kash (as in... takes some CASH to race) get a TT. They are really good people, at least Scoop is (dad). We passed them stopped on lap one, but they got going again, and did so in fine order. VERY fast TT.

Broken Bronco,were you at the wall this morning? I saw a broncospeed sticker on a white bronco ,was that you? If it was.did you see that 1400 truck turn into a pretzel?

That was me.

_Yeah, I was digging that truck too. Hey he was racing, and I think most of the truck made it through the desert.
