Race Report

Overall we had a great time and are very happy with our results. The 2023 bronco performed very well and we know it will continue to be top contender at the next race.

After a long prep and finding 2 broken tubes in the cage on Thursday morning we made it to Primm at 3:30am Friday.

The first day Andrew was driving and Sean was codriver. The first race went good we started 6th and we were quickly in 3rd place in the first lap. We were running the bronco hard and could see the dust of 2nd place. We passed Jamn Offroad who was in second place in the pits, we had to came in to the pits to pull off a broken fender and Jamn had a broken leafs. Our pit was about 5 seconds and we were on our way pushing hard the next 2 laps passing 1400 trucks one after another, also it was so dusty out there it was hard to believe we were able to go so fast. A few times we were just following taillights, we couldn’t even see the ground. One the final lap going through some 3-4 foot whoops we did an endo with the front end smashing the bumper into the ground almost rolling the bronco. (There was a broken down 2000’s white truck that saw the whole thing) Unfortunately we shoved dirt into the radiator which ended up cracking the radiator. When we passed the hot pit on the final lap we had a 2 min lead on 3rd place. At the dyke jump on the final lap we started getting hot and were at 250 degrees. We decided to push it and finally the truck started misfiring 3 turns from the start. We had to pull over and added water to it but it wouldn’t start back up, it was tough to see everyone go by.

We went to Vegas for a new radiator and starter right after the race. Once it was running we notice we had a lot of pressure in the water system so we knew we had blown a head gasket but decided to run it anyways.

On Sunday Andrew was driving and Ryan was codriver, we were 5th off the line and had a great start. By the end of the first lap we had passed 3 trucks putting us in 2nd place and we were running hard. We stopped to check the water in the pits and noticed it was still blowing water out of the radiator overflow. We decided to continue and at the start of the 3rd lap we were overheating again. We got out of the truck and filled the radiator with 4 gallons of water and we were on our way lost about 5-8 min. Two trucks passed us while we were stopped putting us in 4th, we run hard again to maintain our position. We decided to top off the water in the pit on the 3rd and 4th lap as we were out of spare water in the bronco. We came to the finish in 4th. The official time for both days puts us in 2nd place for the weekend. Out of 17 class 2000 trucks that started we are very pleased with our 2nd place finish.

We had no suspension or drivetrain issues and the Fox shocks performed flawlessly. The bronco is one tough horse.

We want to say thanks to the team who makes every race possible and being so quick in the pits which made 2nd place possible. We pitted 5 times in a 8 lap race and still beat 3rd place by over 3 min.

Watch out 2000 trucks we will be back even faster next time! Going for the WIN!!!
