Re: EVENT: BITD Vegas to Reno 2008
Good luck guys!
That's going to be one Hell of a looonnnng race and if I know anything about the BITD courses, it's going to be one Hell of a rough race too. Keep the dirt on the bottom side of the cars! Wish I was there...

Re: EVENT: BITD Vegas to Reno 2008
We took two 4th place finishes which we're real happy with considering less than 1/3 of the entries finished the race
 The 1129 car is now 2nd overall in points for the year. The 1861 car finished around 3:30 am and we didn't get to the hotel in Reno until 5:30am. Awesome race overall, and next year BITD hoping to make this one a 1000! Hope maybe some of you can make it. Next race is in Mesquite, NV in 5 weeks, the Bilek Racing Silver State “300” Here are a few pics

Re: EVENT: BITD Vegas to Reno 2008
Great job, to finish is a great acomplishment in itself and to finish well is awesome
 . Is that your C1 lite? If not have you ridden in it? How is it? I like them and they look really well built. Any problems with them? Great job and good luck at the next race. |

bc124 - That is one of 5 Lites that raced against us in the 1800 class. The one pictured, #1829 driven by Clint Barry, took 1st. I haven't ridden in them, but they are very well built. jumpin j- The BITD races are raced primarily in the Nevada and Western Arizona deserts which can be extremely rocky and silty (just ask K-fab & TutTech ). The Vegas to Reno ran through Death Valley @ 108 deg. and reached altitudes of around 7-8000' where the guys were actually cold! Quite different from stadium racing.Thanks all for the kind words

Re: EVENT: BITD Vegas to Reno 2008
Alright you guys are kicking butt!!
Ya its such a relief to finish and then to actually see that not only did you finish but placed well is awesome. Congrats! Nice going on the 2nd in points on the 11 car! I have raced in the 11 class and just helped my brother drive his 11 at the Mint and Wow what a crazy thing to do race a pretty stock bug across our deserts... yikes! Well really cool and the car looks great. Fantastic man. Tell us more when you get a chance sorry I have been offline a lot lately. Next year we want to try and make it if money is available. Only time will tell. Good luck and I look forward to hearing more of your racing adventures and seeing you guys do better and better each race. OH any of you coming to the Powder Puff in Oct?
