Feb 3, 2001. Whiplash Parker 400, Parker Arizona. The showing was awesome. 11 class 8's and 4 class 3's. Team Scoob caught the leader in first 16 miles, then we were doomed with two flat tires, one due to a wheel failure(rock) and the other unknown, which caused us to drive about 25 miles on the bare rim. The final straw was a fuel injection pump failure at check 4. The Truck ran great, just a little bad luck.

June 24, 2000. Holbrook. We were not able to get the new ART CARR tranny installed in time to make the race.

The race team actually got the truck done saturday evening after giving up hope on making it to the race the night before. Saturday evening the truck was tested and the tranny and engine are working great. A couple more test sessions and we will be ready for The Snowflake 150, Snowflake AZ on labor day weekend.
