Team Finishes 11th in First TT Race


Driver Steve Strobel and co-driver John Vance crossed the finish line in luxurious Primm, NV in 11th place in the highly competitive Trophy Truck (TT) class on Saturday.

The truck was solidly in 10th place overall after the first 71 mile lap. However, a small mishap at Race Mile 81 slowed the team some. Once the #94 truck was uprighted, Steve wheeled the truck around the final 2 laps in good shape, gaining valuable seat time in the new Trophy Truck.

Thanks VERY MUCH to the Jimco pit support team and especially to John Vance for his co-driving skills. The race planning went well and John persevered through both a large rock coming into the cockpit and hitting him in the chest and 2 flat tire changes.

We believe we're now in good shape as a Trophy Truck team and are very much looking forward to our next race, tentatively scheduled to be the BITD Vegas to Reno extravaganza in August.
