I spent last weekend in Memphis practicing the #99 car for David Reutiman. It was pretty cool working with the 99 team, we qualified 3rd which I really didn't expect because we focused on race run setup in practice. I had to be in Phoenix on Monday following Memphis to test Cruz's Toyota Midget at PIR. Naturally it's always good to try and catch up with friends when your on the road so I stayed at my friend PJ's house along with my buddy Jake. PJ has been working on building aftermarket suspensions for Yamaha Razors which, for those who dont know, is like a big gnarly inbred dune buggy/quad on steroids. I mean this little things have 13 inches of suspension travel, go 65mph and seat 4 people! So PJ takes me and Jake out to the dunes and trails a few miles from his house and of course we have to take the most souped up fast one he has! Now I have a hard time not being in the drivers seat, so as we whipped through narrow trails, hit 4 foot jumps at 60mph and nearly endoed off one of the jumps which finally broke the Razor(thank god, I dont know if we would have made it back in one piece) I didn't even end up getting to drive. Still an awesome time and its got me thinking, AZ is a pretty cool place to live if your into offroading or dirtbikes! The next day we tested the Midget and it went great, I'm so stoked for next weekend with getting to race the midget Thursday, Nationwide car Saturday and even catch a Sprint car race at Manzanita!.....gonna be good times......
