We won the Best
in the Desert Series which included several different races including
the Nevada 1000. Which we ran on one set of Goodyear tires with
no flats.
We also just
recently won the Laughlin Desert Challenge for our class coming
in over 7 minutes faster than our nearest competitor. We took 14th
overall - beating out some of the trophy trucks. Infact, the only
vehicles in the top 20 were Trophy trucks, 10 cars, Class 1's and
Pro trucks.
We missed getting
in the top 10 by 85 seconds.

Exciting Race: |
|
Terrible's Town
250, Wanzek Racing was finally able to work some of the bugs out
of their Ford Truck & see what kind of speeds the truck could
produce. At one point during the race Shaun was able to pilot Team
Wanzek's new class 7 truck across the desert terrain at an amazing
speed of 111mph!!! They would have kept going but had to slow down
for a turn. "It was nice to see how well the truck could handle,"
Shawn Wanzek said after the race.
Unfortunately,
the team's luck changed 110 miles from the Start/Finish line when
a couple rear linkage bolts broke on the suspension. A faulty batch
of bolts is the suspected culprit in this race ending break. Since
the race, every single bolt and screw has been replaced on the truck
to ensure that this doesn't happen again.
