Despite the spin out, Austin battled back and finished with fourth place.

"What a crazy weekend!! I couldn't ask for anything more!! We built a brand new Pro Lite and it come out of the box perfect!!!! Got the big 1st place on Saturday and was running 3rd on Sunday then got taken out, but worked my way back up to 4th to finish so can't complain!

Looks like we will be fighting for a championship this year... look out!!

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.

We have really beefed the truck up to prevent mechanical failures and give Austin a great shot at the off road racing championship this season. Rounds 1 and 2 are at Firebird international Raceway on March 31st and April 1st, so we really hope you can make it out there!

Congratulations to Austin - first place in the final round of the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series in the Super Lite, and fifth place in the ProLite. Then, on Sunday for the Challenge Cup Off Road Racing Championship races, Austin had another strong third place podium finish in the Super Lite. The Pro Lite was definitely off road madness... Austin flipped TWICE in the Pro Lite but was able to get started both times and get back in the race, and then fought his way back into the race. WOW! Great driving on both days. Congratulations to Austin Kimbrell as the 2011 Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series concludes with very strong performances from Austin.

It's race week and we are gearing up! John went to Las Vegas to pick up the new engine, and our top off road trucks will be ready to chew up some serious dirt this weekend. Our team is working hard to get the trucks in top shape to give Austin the edge that he needs to get it done this weekend.
We are coming down to the wire for the 2011 series. There is the race this weekend in Las Vegas, then Round 15 on December 10 at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix, and then the Challenge Cup on December 11th also at Firebird. Austin still looks good in points standings for the LOORS Ultra Lite (top ten) Off Road Racing Championship, and is a top contender for Rookie of the Year in this class. He is hanging tough in the Pro Lite Unlimited as well, just outside of top ten, but we expect to change that this weekend!

In regards to our off road equipment, we intend to dot every "I" and cross every "T" for our off road racing vehicles to be in tip top shape for these races. Our team is the best, and they work hard to give us the winning edge. We will be there early for practice so that Austin can get comfortable with the track and we can make sure all of our off road gear is ready to give us the power we need to win.
