It took us 7 min and 40 seconds to get out get it repaired and get back buckled in and going.Īt this point we know if the guys in front of us have a good day we can't catch them but do everything we can to play catch up. All we had to do was put the hose back on the barb, put a hose clamp on it and fill it with PS fluid from the quart carrier. It was an easy find and an easy fix albeit to time consuming. Mick was till right there so we pulled over to see WTF and Mick dissapears into the forest again still on his mission. WHen we hit the cross ruts it must have made the external bypass for the PS bypass and when it did it blew the bypass hose dumping all the PS fluid. Right when I get up beside him I realize I've lost power to the steering. We get to an opening where I can go for a pass and we gotta cross ruts to get around him. Second lap we catch Mick Henson in the tan Toyota and he's pushing hard. Every car we caught made us earn the pass, strong competitors nobody just pulled over. We were doing what we can but its two track in the trees, when you catch a car there's nowhere to pass for a while. Dad tells me on the radio we need to pick up the pace. First lap we get a couple passes and with traffic we come in with a 20.4 min lap to Loren's 19 min lap. Track finally sort of cleared and we get the green flag.

It was really cool to get to do that just drivers and co-drivers, the 4600 class guys are all a fun bunch of people. We got to meet and hangout with the rest of our 4600 class competitors. It was hot so they told us we could get out and get extra water drank if we wanted. When it was 4600 time we got lined up and then because of the usual SXS yardsale recovery our start time got pushed back 15 minutes.

He was doing pretty good till near the end, took a bad bounce hit a tree with the driver front tire at speed and it snapped the steering arm off the knuckle taking him out of the race.

Slept in good since we didn't have to race till later that Thursday evening. Got some sleep finally after about 40 hours of no sleep. I'm not from firefly land so it was both cool and weird to be hauling ass in the dark forest with blinking all over the place. Got back out to pre run with like 1 minute left before the cutoff so did some of our pre running in the actual dark dark. Had to tow the Bronco back to pits to figure it out but it was an easy fix. We had a soldered wire connection break at the post loop but the heat shrink was holding the wire in place.

Didn't hurt anything, didn't even boil it over because we were paying attention to the gauges. The RZR didn't have any problems but we lost the fans in the Bronco. He qualified 31 out of 31.Īfter taking a break to get a bite to eat we set out to go pre run. I jumped in my RZR pass seat with brother driving. So we qualified 9th out of 11 in the bronco.

I wore my sunglasses which was a huge mistake because we transitioned from full sun into the dark of the forest and I couldn't see. First time seeing it was green flag, the whole qual course was in the trees. I didn't get to see the course before running it, not walk it, not drive it. 4600 went first so we BARELY made it in time. We got to the track with 20 minutes to get out of the truck, get credit for appearing at the drivers meeting, getting a tracker, tracker put on the Bronco, and get suited up to get buckled in and go qualify. After getting back on the road we drove all night making the 1000 mile trip in 14 hours. Had my grandpa come help me get my truck to his house, and get us to brothers house so we could use his truck for the trip. If you've been following my tow pig saga the engine blew up 20 miles out of town trying to get to the race and I didn't have time to lose on such things.
