The Pro Armor Kawasaki Teryx piloted by Mike Lasher and Rick "Wally" Wallace ran a great race this weekend. They started back in the 8th position and worked their way up from there. The 10 Vehicles in the UTV class lined up with the Bikes and Quads taking the line at 6:30am making for a cold race with the temperature at 45 degrees! It was a great change of pace to go out before the Trick Trucks and Class One cars though. The course was awesome, a ton of high-speed sections, dry lake beds, washes, hill climbs, and great terrain. There was one section of the course that was grueling and that was the rock garden around race mile 32. It really made you appreciate the rest of the course. The car handled great all day. Only stopping in the pits to take fuel and look the car over. The CST Suspension and Walker Evans Shocks held up outstanding during the race. Combined with the ITP SS wheels and Terra Cross tires on OMF bead locks there was nothing that could take away from the traction they had. The team had only one goal for this race, and it was to finish. It was great to get the car out after extensive testing and bring home a finish let alone a third place finish. They knew the day looked good when starting the second lap and the power from the Lockmann Performance motor was able to drive them past other vehicles on an uphill section of whoops with out breaking a sweat. This race concluded the 7 race 2008 season putting them in 6th place running only 5 of the 7 races. The team looks forward to an exciting 2009 season kicking off in Parker, AZ Jan 9-11th.
