Team Xterra Racing: Vegas 300 Here We Come!!

In what is the shortest turnaround of Best In The Desert's racing season, racers only have 41 days between the end of the longest race of the year (Vegas to Reno) and this weekends Vegas 300. This gives teams precious little time to repair all the damage done during the longest offroad race in the United States. Fortunately Team Xterra Racing's vehicle made it through V2R with only minor damage and is back and ready to rock and roll.

Last years Las Vegas 300 brought with it some heavy rains, course rerouting and a grand prix finish which kept the XterraRacer from finishing any more than a single lap around the course...

This year, sitting third in the 3100 class standings, the XterraRacer hopes to close the gap on Mike Falkosky's Explorer and Rod Hall's H3 teams.

Being home in NH again for this race (after chasing and co-driving during V2R) I will be providing updates beginning on Friday 10/5 during contingency and the race itself on Saturday 10/6 on not only the XterraRacer but the entire 3100 class as I maintain contact with our pit crew and chase teams throughout the day. You can follow along on our home forum at: TXR Forum... and can watch the gps tracking of the race at Race The World as the #3112 XterraRacer goes for three laps around the 82 mile course...

As always we want to thank our sponsors for helping us make our desert dreams a reality and this includes Nissan, Goodyear, Fox Shocks, PIAA, National Springs, DJ Safety, SpeedHut, Evco, XOC, CWI Hosting, LMR, Motografx, Double D Bolt and Champion Motorsports.

Go get 'em team!

Best of luck to you!

Robert, nice white helmet. We need to do something about that.

Thanks Todd! Someday we'll work something out...

For all those Xterra Owners in Las Vegas and the immediate surroundings... here is your personal invitation to come and join us at the race. We will be arriving in Vegas around noon on Friday and going through "contingency." This is where all vehicles are displayed and make their rounds by the sponsor's tents... then pass through safety inspection and become elligible to race.

Race day is Saturday, probably starting off the line around 9am. If you want to see the Trick Trucks and Buggies get there early, probably just shy of 7am - starting line is near Jean.

The Team will be doing 3 laps... there are several different locations that a regular car can reach to have different views...

Thanks again to all the support here... Let's hear it for Team Xterra Racing.

POST UP, let us know you guys are reading these posts!

Awesome X! Good Mojo comin' your way!
