ROUND 4 -
JULY 10-11, 2009
Round 4 of the series was a
scorcher! Practice started early on Saturday with extremely dusty
conditions. But with several passes with the water truck, the racers
were set to go. Our 1st heat just had 4 buggy's; Jeff Barrett - BRM
OFFROAD Graphics #334, Gary Williams - Williams
Performance #348, Rafeal Navarro in the #333,
and Jim Sizelove in the #321.
The water truck did not come out
before our first heat and it's too bad. It really made for some
extreme visibility issues. We video taped Heat one and it had some
excitement. Williams and Navarro put on a good show with their
battle, then Williams and Sizelove started going at it. Contact was
made at some point and Williams dropped back in the field. Barrett,
in the meantime, had motor problems half way thru and was doing what
he could to keep it running and salvage some points.
Heat 2 started with a freshly
watered track which really helped the drivers and spotters better
see across the track. This race was not as exciting as the buggy's
quickly separated themselves and had little excitement to report.
Barrett was having motor issues again and wasn't much competition.
We'll have things ready for Round
5 in August and hope to move back up to the top of the points
standings. Photos below.
