The Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series cranked back up this past weekend with rounds 11 and 12 at one of the great off road courses, Speedworld Offroad Park in Surprise, AZ. It also happens to be our home town, so we had a great turn out, and want to give a big shout out to our fans - we turned a BIG portion of the stands RED in support of Kimbrell Racing!
Every race features a little bit of off road madness, but it was a tough weekend with the trucks. The bright spot is that every time we race it is a team effort! Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who worked so hard this past weekend, you guys are the best!
Every race we know what a big role our sponsors play in making extreme off road racing all possible, including
Toyo Tires who supply our off road truck tires, were out there this weekend, and always supporting us. If you haven't done so already, be sure to check in on their
Team Toyo Tires race site - very cool, and their Facebook page as well. These guys are awesome and really support racing. Don't forget
Lucas Oil - they make this race series possible, so be sure you check out the site and give them some racing love! Fiberwerx helps our trucks hang together! At any race you'll see pieces of trucks come flying off, and these guys are the glue that help keep us in one piece! Thanks,
Fiberwerx! Check them out!
Method Wheels make our trucks lighter, stronger, and faster - thanks for your sponsorship support! And of course, Kimbrell Electric, our family owned business that provides high quality commercial electrical services to the Phoenix metro area.
So... thank you fans! Thank you race team! Thank you sponsors! Thank you family! We are so grateful for your support, you guys make it happen.
One more thank you to the folks at Homeward Bound - Becky did a great job hanging out talking to fans all weekend for a great cause. Don't forget that Homeward Bound Homeward Bound's mission is to provide families with a hand up, not a handout. The money raised will help support the organization's many programs working to help and empower families in need. With national television and radio, plus local coverage and large crowds of loyal fans, we hope to generate substantial donations and awareness nationwide. Homeward Bound is a 501-C3 organization and all funds contributed are tax deductible, received with deep gratitude, and put to work making a difference in the lives of these Phoenix families. A text message fundraising system has been set up, with 100% of all contributions going directly to Homeward Bound. Donations can be made by texting the word FAMILY to the number 24453.
Here is the update from the weekend: We had some tough breaks with the trucks on Friday and on Saturday. On Friday all sorts of stuff broke, and after working until 1:30 in the morning to be ready for Sat., we had to pull out of the Super Lite when the truck quit shifting gears, and pull out of the Pro Lite when we dropped a cylinder. As you know, 4 x 4 racing means that our off road equipment takes a pounding, and when something breaks you work fast and hard. Everyone pitched in to get us back in the race on Sunday, so thank you! Even the best off road equipment breaks from time to time, and so on Friday worked until 1:30 in the morning, and then on Saturday had to pull out of both the Super Lite and Pro Lite Unlimited races from off road truck parts breaking down. Sunday we were back in it, but couldn't pull it all together to make it to the podium.
With five rounds left to run, the off road racing championship is right in our sights. The battles are tough out there, points are at a premium, and the stakes are high. We are going to stay focused and start prepping for Las Vegas on Nov. 5th and 6th. We have the best team, the best fans, the greatest sponsors, and awesome family support, so thank you again to everyone who makes this race team possible.
