Anyone chasing/helping any teams for this years Vegas To Reno? I'll be helping the Murray brothers in their Can-am backed # 917 Maverick Max X3. Here are a few shots of their new car built by the guys at Lone Star Racing.

Go Jason and Derek!

Going for another 1st at V2R. Last year was 2 first place finishes in 2 UTV classes, this year is concentrated on just the pro turbo with the new X3 Max. I'll update the thread with some more pics when I have a chance after tech and once we get to Beatty.

The finish is in Dayton, there are a few good spots to watch on Alt 95 just south of Weeks. The final pit is at Weeks and they take off and start hauling ass up over the small rise after that pit. The Trick Trucks should be going through that section around 5pm give or take an hour.

We were on our way back to Vegas from Tahoe and saw a crap load and I mean over a Thousand chase trucks no kidding and also a crap load of race trucks, buggies, and bikes all the going through the desert from just past Hawthorne all the way down to just above Amargosa....very cool to see. We even pulled over at a few spots outside of Fallon and watched a bunch of trucks zipping by...

Not the results the team were anticipating going in, the first DNF for the boys in over 8 years racing in the UTV class at Best In The Desert events. The team was bummed for sure but will be back strong as ever for the Silver State and Tijuana races next month.

RIP to the MC rider Chris Carlisle who crashed at RM 290 and passed away on the helicopter flight to Reno.

Good to see the Mills boys doing good

They started out really solid, but a loose pin in a cannon plug derailed the TT for several hours and a power steering issue slowed the spec truck. That?s desert racing! All in all it was a fun race though.
