[QUOTE="Hudson1, post: 705939, member: 5184"] I have the 51 car that ran in the Unlimited class in the Survival series. It was the first time I had it out to race. First time it had jumped on purpose and had a few small issues. I will write a race recap in a few. We need more people racing, it is great fun. I had to rush to get my rig ready to race. Window nets ordered, deal with a fuel cell pick up issue, order a hans and a few other small things. Most of my time was spent checking and re checking bolts and bearings to make sure everything was in good shape and could go the distance of the race. I built the rig using a rescued Goat Built chassis almost two years ago. It had plenty of reliable trail time but no race time on it. I did not have a co driver or any seat time pre running the full course. I was only able to run the short course a few times and adjust my shocks to be able to take the jumps. My very capable 210 lb 14 year old son was my pit crew. The course was great , it was a mixture of rocks , fast mountain road, tight trails, short course with jumps, steep down hill sections and a few mud holes thrown in for fun. I did not pre run the course so my plan was to be gentle feel out the car and not break my crap. The second lap , I pulled into the pits with a steering issue. I had none. I had to rev up the motor to get steering power, this is pretty tough with an automatic while going down steep rocky ravines. I pulled into the pits where my son was waiting. I climbed out and thought my race was done. A big thank you to some pit guys that ran up to help. They pulled my good off and found no steering leaks and the belt was still in place. The steering resivior was to hot to touch. I turned on a cooling fan manually for my trans cooler which help cool my steering. I jumped back in , my son finished fueling the rig and I was pack on course. I would like to thank the guys that came to help , I believe the were with Mark Zaboth. My brakes were hot, my motor was hot, my shocks were hot. I finished my race. The Unlimited class guys that were there were great, everyone of them was a professional and their level of competition was incredible. I would like to thank Pro Rock Racing for giving us the opportunity to have endurance racing in the south. Find you a stock Cherokee and beat on it, bring your 37 inch tire trail rig like mine and beat on it, bring your work of art unlimited rig and beat on it. [/QUOTE]
