Why spend so much time for someone that doesn't appreciate your work?Because once fired, that always stops them from continuing to say negative things.![]()
He did not qualify so he starts at the back. He didnt even know he was racing it till yesterday haha!Why was he starting in last place?
Hes doing a great job!Interesting Dave Cole working broadcast. Must be filling in for Fish.![]()
Is that corrected time, or physically?RG 11th overall headed out on the final lap!!!

What a finish!
Gomez won I think by 49 ish seconds unofficially over sheererWho won - at my daughters volleyball tournament and phone lost video as Gomez was turning into town
Thank you for the hospitality in 2022 and 2023! You were kind enough to allow us (son and I) to park the prerunner and tent camp last year with HP and MTT. I flew in last Sunday and slept on Brad's dinette and flew out Monday. I know we've introduced ourselves but I wasn't aware of the RDP connection. Small world stuff!Another vehicle rescue gameplanning. They will be bringing the car back to our property shortly View attachment 1198258

RDsux havasu rescue.
Speedy recovery
We need a company name
Is there really no recovery biz? Every time we get into a tough spot I start think about the what ifs.
Some spots you
I’ll bet next year Gomez team riders will be in his carsRG gonna finish in top 10.
Unofficial 11th is what they said at end of interview.RG gonna finish in top 10.
The 3 Dolphin Inn Restaurant in Topanga had a sign on the wall "The Customer is Always Wrong."Firing a bad customer. Every Business owner has to do it.
I thought that was pretty cool to do from last place start all the way up to nine. sounds like he got stuck in a traffic jam out there had to help somebody out just to get through probably could’ve been couple notches up. I know a couple Can-Am is finished right in front of him and I give them credit but they were nowhere near stock. I think the helicopter is going to be busy in the morning there’s a lot of shit broken down out there a lot more than the UTV race.RG finished 9th!!!!! Pretty damn rad!!

Rad? Isn't that his job?![]()
anyone else notice this creative winch work? I hope I never need to to remember this pictureSPEED ran out of cars to break, this one was a canam left overnight from yesterday and it was on the race course so it had to take a ride. For the record I have a speed car on order and the one I saw in person looked pretty good.
They put a Go-pro in the wrecked canam just for the flight… it should be a cool video edit coming

I am not 100% positive, but I highly doubt any of the new gears are here yet. It was less than a week since we pointed the finger at heat treat. It would have taken a miracle to get new parts cut and heat treated in that amount of time. That would have been one of the transmissions that we took apart, inspected, made a few small adjustments and sent back to them.Sean on the gear that broke on the car that was flown out this morning was it a stronger material ? is The case the faulty item ? Or does it need a even stronger gear ? Just curious if adding more material to the case is the answer
Gear fails, then wedges the gear bits between the teeth forcing the shafts apart, which loads the case and breaks it. Cases are not cause, just collateral damage.Wonder if it’s the case failing, or the cover ??
They will destroy rear axles and CV joints. Too much power, tire size, and speed to keep those CV joints together. I helped replace RJ Andersons rear axles after the first lap of the Thursday race.What’s the weak link in the Pro R so far? I’m far from an expert but they look pretty stout.

Front diffs will fall apart from the factory unless properly prepped. Wet clutch in trans that drives the front diff will wear down and lose it's preload, then spin without driving the front diff. I just prepped (4) sets of Pro-R drivetrain before the hammers.
Answer: Gears break when they aren't heat treated properly, or not to spec, or with improper material. I have not seen the heat treat spec sheet on these, nor have I seen the broken gears back here yet (should see them this week), so I cannot say what the exact issue is just yet.My question to speed is the gear set is either undersized with little support in the case. Or the casting was bad and missed in a QC check. Unfortunately this isn’t a one off situation. I’m glad they have a 2.0 version coming asap. But that mean even more delays, a common theme with speed.
