it showed up to the 25 hour race, but there was some issues and they didn't race. ( they were very tite liped about the truck, at the 25 once the truck was in the grage the doors stayed shut).

They also actually raced at the last WCER at button willow.

 

I saw it out at Buttonwillow.. They we having problems with it out there also!

Pretty cool piece of machinery though.. Hope they get it sorted!

 

I saw it at BW too... they tried to run the enduro with it... I dont think I saw it do a complete lap on its own power..

once its sorted out i'm sure it will be a monster tho

 

Yeah they were out at BW. I was waiting to hear that thing rip the track up. It started from the pit lane with a 5 minute panalty for not qualifying and as soon as it left it did half a lap and broke down. We were cheering for it when it left the pits.

It want almost one lap in the BW race before the rear end broke. 800lb-ft will do that sometimes...
