To quote from the man himself (Dave Blakely)....he has been speaking to Nissan directly after this most recent race and Nissan has recommitted to him their support for his team and pledged even more support to make sure that he is on an even playing field with the other competitors in his class...

Additionally, though the rear of his X is badly damged from its encounter with a large class 3000 Cherokee, the engine is still running strong and 4WD is still fully operational....The problem appears to be that '05 X's need a constant power supply and that if this is cut it loses the preset throttle, air metering and other preset points...the computer then allows the vehicle to travel approximately 15-20 miles and then enters "limp mode"

This should be worked out by this weekend when Xterraracer enters the X in its next event.....He will be running it in the "sportsman" class as a test run more or less with full pit stops and race speeds but with more of an emphasis on working the bugs out of the truck than running to win...This is all part of working with an entirely new vehicle that has never had any history of racing before...Be sure to check back here often for more updates!!!!
