Mud races, Othello Fair Grounds, Aug. 14th

[Wrench]

There will be another mud race event at the Othello Fair Grounds this weekend.

I should be competing with the Cheep.

[Sveta]

Is the event not organized by Berg's?

As far as I know, it is being run by the guy who has been running the one at Othello for several years now. Not really sure, though.

[Lurch]

I talked to Zack earlier today. He is helping them put it on but it is not his gig. He can't afford to loose any more money. I guess the last one really hurt.

Not many people showed up. There were less people there than the last (Zach's) event at Othello.

I entered both the 100 and 200 classes, but DNF'd for the day. I think I still get a trohy and cash, though, since there were only 2 people in 100 class I still made second place!

On my second run in the 100 class (4th run of the day), I launched a bit hard and broke/twisted the rear Dana 35.

And my head gasket blew out a little on #1 cylinder. No water jacket there, so it just lost a little power from loss of compression.

But she limped all the way home in front-wheel drive and a leaking head gasket...
