Vegas to Reno Race

When I think back to being a kid and having dreams of what I wanted to do with my life, I can only remember two things that come to mind: cowboy or race car driver. What did I choose…Pharmaceuticals. Not even close to my dreams, but it pays the bills.

On August 21^st, I was lucky enough to get a little closer to one of my dreams. I was given a chance form Team Danzio to pit for their Class 1 car during the BITD Vegas to Reno race. I hadn’t been that excited about anything since Mauler talked me into trying out motocross. I had no idea what to expect, but learned in three days more about being a part of team then I had experienced in my whole life. From the qualifying runs (that we placed 4^th overall, 2^nd out of Class 1 cars) to the time our car crossed the finish line in Reno, I was a key player in the Danzio team. Granted, I am not the MOST mechanical person on the team. I was given the

chance to change a couple tires, pump and dump several 11 gallon gas cans (this turned out to be my primary function), and even replace a serpentine belt that had been shredded. I was able to ride shotgun in one of four chase trucks with my buddy Troy and his son Corey…two of the best pit buddies a guy could ask for!

The adventure was long, hot, and tiring, but worth every minute! In the end, our car placed 14^th in class. It was the team/car’s first finish of a race and I was a part of it. Thanks to the entire team for allowing me the chance to participate and I hope to get out there at the end of this month to pit again!

Am I sad that I am not a cowboy or a race car driver? The answer is no. I will continue to be the weekend warrior motocross racing Pharmaceutical specialist who HELPS race car drivers finish races. That sounds pretty good to me! - Vince

The Lake Elsinore Watercraft dash is in the books and it was a fantastic debut for what we can only hope will be in series form next year. The venue was excellent and included lots of room for pit row and nice touches like plenty of clean restrooms, vendors on site featuring Cold Stone, smoothies, water, sports/energy drinks, throttle junkie goodies, Bomber sunglasses, DMp parts and accessories and much more. Big ups to Dave Pulley and his crew for putting together Region One’s second and last jet ski race of the season. It was an insane amount of hard work that the Pulley’s and their gang, Looter, Lisa Price, The Sims, Mauler and a score of others pulled off with impressive results. Thanks guys, you rock!

Results, results…. I did not get to bring home the final sheets, so unofficially off the top of my head some winners were: Dave “Looter” Hardenburger – Vet Ski, Shawn Quemada – Sport, Bobby Kearns – Run Stock, Rene & Jeff Hill – Runabout classes, Nicolus Rius – Ski GP, Robert”Dubz”Carrion – Supercourse, Matt Golberg – Am Ski Open, Nick Rosenberg – 1st time ski, Kurt Samuels – pro/am ski stock, Bob Hyde – Masters ski, Jason Billing – Ltd ski, Valerie Moline – Pro/am women’s ski, Danielle Durica – Novice women’s ski, and I’m not 100% sure on this last one, but I think Matt “Masher500″ won novice ski stock on his beat to death ’91 square nose. Sweet!
Congratulations on great rides by all and thanks to the City of Lake Elsinore and DMP for bringing racing back to SoCal – where it all began. Lastly, a thousand thank you’s to the Sims family for their gracious hospitality in throwing a post race dinner and party. Anne one cheek cooked up some killer tacos and lasagna that hit the spot big time. Fun people and fun times.

The Dune Dummy 29 Race Report.

Those That Missed It You Missed A Great Race. The Afternoon Was A Little Warm & We Were Delayed For About An Hour Waiting For An Ambulance To Arrive. I Have Worked Sprint Car Races, Stockcar Races & Offroad Races, Believe Me This Is Pretty Normal, We Seem To Spend A Lot Of Time Waiting For Ambulances. Well The Wait Was Worth It. The Action Started Early In The Practice & Qualifiers. I Was Busy With Line Ups & Other Duties. I Missed The Practices & Qualifiers, But I Saw The Carnage As They Drove Or Were Towed Off Of The Track. Then When The SXS Mod-Am Race Started I Was Eating Dinner & Missed It. Oops. I Heard The National Anthem Start Or No Telling What Else I Would Have Missed. Once Again I Got The Honor & Pleasure Of Being The Pace Rhino. Okay I Lead The Parade Laps.

The Track Had Bigger Jumps On The Front & Backstretch. In Fact The First Few Times I Came Over The 4′ Dropoffs I Almost Soiled Myself. I Just Rolled Through Them With My Basically Stock Rhino With A Major Toe Out Problem, But The Racers Flew Off Of Them & I Don’t Think There Were Any Incidents On These Jumps But There Were A Lot Of Crashes & Contact Through The Whoops. There Was Also A Lot Of Passing In The Whoops.

So The SXS Superstock Race Started Out With Gary “Motogary” Thompson Leading From The Poll. I Had Seen & Talked To Him Before The Race & He Had Some Fuel Pickup Issues &

Changed The Fuel Pump Before The Main Event. It Must Have Helped Because He Lead From Start To Finish For What I Believe Is His First Main Event Win. Congratulations Gary.
