So Close...

This race ended before it started.

We were doing our final race prep before loading the truck on the trailer for the drive west when we came across mechanical problems that simply can't be overcome in the amount of time we have remaining, particularly when one factors in the number of days needed to drive out to the race. Therefore, with great disappointment, we have to call off our attempt to race the 2009 Vegas to Reno desert race.

We may have lost this battle, but we WILL NOT lose the war. We are going to complete the truck properly, test it thoroughly, and enter next year's Vegas to Reno race with a highly competitive truck. In the mean time, Venture Crew 35 will still be attending this year's race, providing chase and pit support for or fellow desert racers.

We would like to thank and apologize to E3 Spark Plugs, KC HiLiTES, K&N Filters, HalRay Synthetics, Schroth Racing, BFGoodrich, HMS Motorsport, Mastercraft, Curt LeDuc, the RDC community, and all our fans, friends, sponsors and supporters who helped us along the way. There's no way we could possibly have made it this far without all of you. I hope you can have faith in us for one more year. I promise we WILL race this truck.
