Honestly, I am not positive. One of the other guys had all that info. My understanding is that it is along the outside somewhere...they referred to it being out in BFE/the boonies lol. If you can't find us there, you may refer to the 4wheelparts tent. A few of our friends race for them and we may be with them, or they could possibly point you in the right direction at least.

Thank you

That makes two of us!! Next week should be quite the week!!

 

I also forgot to tell you all...we were drawn for the number 4 starting position on Thursday!!

 

Good luck with that beast!! It looks bad ***! I will keep looking for you to post a ton if pics and videos!!

 

Howdy Folks: went up this past Saturday; but not much practicing was going on. Have been on/off today (internet) for any news on our POOR BOYS. Anyone know their race number and how they did ????


thanks, Randy from Oceanside

 

I was watching the race today. I'm not sure if they have finished yet or if they did make it to the end or not. I think they ran out of fuel on the first lap then looked like they had to change out radiator. I am assuming from what they were replacing they ripped off the motor mount brackets on passenger side of the block. It looked like they were putting a strap around it so they could finish the race. It looked like they had a blast either way.

ustream.com/ultra4.com to watch the races live. The big boy rigs run tomorrow.

 

What was their race number ??? Want to look it up today ...

tx, Randy

 

4696?

 

Thanks for following guys!

The Ultra4 site shows a DNF for us, but we did finish strong under our own power about 1.5hrs out side of the official time. We ran into a few issues in lap one that ended up taking up a good chunk of time. Without these issues, we would have had a very good chance of making it in for an official time.

I will post up a few pics later today and hopefully some video by next weekend. I will also get some input from the rest of the guys, and will give you all a much more in depth summary of the race!

And yes, our number is 4696

 

Just curious what were the issue that you guys had. Was I correct on the motor mount brackets breaking off? They didn't really give a whole lot of info on the live feed.

 

That is partially correct. The mount didn't really "break" but the rubber did fail, which caused the motor to move forward and the fan punctured the radiator.

I don't know if you saw, but we also had a guy hike into main pits for fuel. We ran out of fuel because we think the breather tube on the fuel cell had a kink or blockage in it. This means, every time we "filled" up, the gas was filling the filler neck fairly quickly...giving us the impression that the tank was full. There was no way for the air in the fuel cell to vent out so the fuel cell wasn't taking much fuel.
