We are in the final week of preparations for the opening weekend of the 2012 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Season!  There is a great deal of work to do yet to get the truck and all of the off road gear in top notch condition, but we are excited and ready to launch into this new season.

A beefed up Pro-Lite truck with an 8 cylinder V8 transmission should keep our truck out in front and allow Austin to finish strong without mechanical difficulties.  Our team is working hard to give him every advantage we can.  With another year of driving under his belt, Austin will be in great shape to be on the podium every time.

We sure hope you can make it to the opening weekend March 30 and April 1st out at Firebird Raceway - it makes all the difference when our fans are in the stands!  Also, a special shout out once again to our sponsor, Kimbrell Electric, a commercial electrical contractor business that has been serving businesses in Phoenix for over a decade. 

Don't forget to check over on Facebook for the last ticket giveaway before opening weekend so that you can enter to win tickets for Round 2 on Sunday.   Click here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kimbrell-Racing/108444685887624.  And don't forget to get the full 2012 racing schedule from our website at: www.kimbrellracing.com

We are tackling the 2012 season head on, focused on the Pro Lite Unlimited category. The Pro Lite has had a major overhaul, with a serious upgrade from a 4 cylinder to 8 cylinder V8 automatic transmission.  We think this gives us one of the top off road trucks out there, and plan on finishing every race with very few mechanical problems.

Couple that with another successful year of experience under Austin's belt, we believe this is going to be a powerhouse season for Austin Kimbrell and Kimbrell Racing.  As mentioned in previous posts, Austin and the Kimbrell Racing team are working hard to be ready, with now just a little over a month to go before opening rounds 1 and 2 at Firebird International Raceway       ( @FirebirdRaceway ) on March 31st and April 1st.  You can get more info on our website at www.kimbrellracing.com.  Of course, we sure hope you can make it!

Have you signed up for live race updates via text message?  It not, please text the word AUSTIN to the number 49798 to subscribe.  Do be sure you are connected with us on FACEBOOK and @KimbrellRacing on TWITTER as we will be offering some text in to win contests for race gear as we get closer to the race!  As always, thanks for your support, and we hope to see you at the opening rounds!

As we move closer to the race, we will be running some great contests on Facebook for great Kimbrell off road gear, tickets to the off road madness, and pit passes, etc.  Be sure you are staying on our fan page, so CLICK HERE to stay plugged in.  As always, don't forget to check out the website, as we keep the updated schedule on it at www.kimbrellracing.com.   And... if you haven't checked out all of the videos we have uploaded on YouTube from last season, be sure to go check out the Kimbrell Racing channel on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/kimbrellracing.

Final 2011 LOORS Results for Kimbrell Racing and 2012 Strategy

Monday, January 30, 2012 by Austin Kimbrell
2012


Final results are in for the 2011 Lucas Off Road Racing Series.  We are extremely proud of Austin in his first year of racing in the Super Lite category, as he finished in fourth place in total points, despite all of the truck troubles in the beginning of the season that took him out of races.  In the Pro Lite Unlimited, Austin finished 11th and again, we are very pleased given the mechanical difficulties we experienced early on.   As you know, Austin ended the season with a strong first place win in the final championship round in the Super Lite.

We are very excited about the 2012 season, and are focused on coming out strong.  We believe in Austin, he is an aggressive driver with a winner's attitude with another year of experience under his belt.  To solve our mechanical problems and give Austin his best shot at the podium, we are swapping out from a 4 cylinder to an 8 cylinder V8 automatic transmission to enable us to finish more races right out in front!  

We sure hope you can make it to one of the off road courses this season and join us for a race or two!   You can find the 2012 schedule on our Kimbrell Racing website at: www.kimbrellracing.com/schedule.   If you have not joined us on Facebook, we invite you to do so by clicking here.  As always, thanks for all you do to support Kimbrell Racing, you are appreciated more than you know!
