Time for an update!! First weekend with Champ Offroad in Pro Stock is in the books. Lot of ups and downs. I can definitely say - these guys bring the speed. Huge thanks to Chad DR. PowerSports Racing for being my spotter, pit crew, etc. - sucks that we weren't able to get his on the course - or that turbo talon would have been a competitor for sure! We made a lot of changes and dialed in the talon more this weekend. Saturday I started 14th and had worked my way into the top 10 before spinning out. Clawed back for a 13th finish. We worked on the talon that night - and got updates from PPEI to get the machine happy on UTV96. Sunday it was windy but we were running good. Made my way up to 11th and was on a good lap to try for a top 10 finish, but a huge gust of wind grabbed the talon on the table top jump in back - and sent me for a wild ride. Half a dozen flips/rotations later - and that was the end of my day. Ended up finishing 12th. In a HUGE shoutout to Fabworx Co. for the amazing cage and frame work. Even with all that energy - only one part of the frame is a little bent, and should be an easy fix. The front end is gone - but opportunity may present itself for a stronger solution. In case anyone wants to know - THIS IS WHY WE USE ALL THE SAFETY GEAR! all-in-all tail bone was bruised, shoulder took a hit and popped a blood vessel in my eye from the g forces. But was able to walk away thanks to all the great safety gear and staff from Lucas Oil Speedway and Champ Off-Road. Again - shout out to Fabworx Co. on that chassis work, RaceQuip for keeping my head safe. Parts are already en route and we'll be back ready to fight for a higher finish soon!
