Top 10 Overall in San Felipe Keeps Team 3rd In Points Chase

With 3 of the 5 SCORE races completed in the 2012 season the Strobel Motorsports team continues to be in a very strong 3rd place position in the premier Trophy Truck class.  The race truck performed flawlessly with no mechanical issues and only 1 flat tire at Race Mile 232 of the 249 on the map.  Sal Fish and his SCORE team definitely put together a rugged race course full of the infamous "San Felipe Woops".  However, when all the sand settled after 4 hours and 49 minutes the driver Steve Strobel and co-driver JT Tondro finished 7 in a strong field of Trophy Trucks which again leaves the team 3rd in Trophy Truck points going into the legendary Baja 500 in early June.  Check out the team's website for a full photo album with videos coming soon.

Mantenemos en la Tercera Posición

A Todos los fans de Strobel Motorsports en México, queremos expresar  nuestro más sincero agradecimiento  por el gran apoyo que de ustedes recibimos durante  este pasado fin de semana,  en  la carrera de SCORE San Felipe 250,  donde  nos encontramos y pudimos saludar a un gran número de buenos amigos, y estamos profundamente agradecidos por todas sus invaluables  atenciones en esta visita a Baja California. Nuestro equipo finalizo en la séptima  posición en clase Trophy Truck  y Novena posición,  por lo que nos mantenemos en la tercera posición en puntos del serial de la clase Trophy Truck de esa temporada de SCORE 2012. Además  con esto estamos aseguramos salir dentro de los diez primeros lugares en la Baja 500, la posición final dentro de estos  lugares dependerá del sorteo previo , con esto falta por disfrutar aún más emociones para Strobel Motorsports en Baja California. Nuevamente un gran agradecimiento de parte de todos los que formamos este equipo por el apoyo recibido en el hermoso puerto de San Felipe este fin de semana . Esperamos verlos a todos en Ensenada  los días 1,2 y 3 de Junio de este 2012

Race Update

To everyone not in Mexico for the race ~ we learned last night that there will NOT be any tracking ability from IonEarth for this race for us or any racers in Mexico. The only way to track the truck will be through racetheworld.net which is IRC tracking and I will also update the blog as I get updates from the pits.

Race starts at Noon (central time) tomorrow. Word from Mexico is that pre-running has gone good but it is a very rough course. Today's agenda for the team is Tech and Contingency.

Thanks!
Tiffany
