RUn2it Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Vegas to Reno starts the 14th Fri am, but Thursday is Contingency at the Aliant Hotel Casino from 8AM to 5pm if you want to check out some heavy metal, a total of 339 entries, the most ever. Here's some pics from last Tuesday testing, I predict the winner of the Vegas to Reno. YouTheory Racing Throphy Truck driven by Jerry Whelchel.

RUn2it Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Pete, wassup? I may not be there, the Lucas short course race is the following weekend at Reno, could take the doo and quad and finish them up in Reno and test at Pyramid Lake and Sand Mountain...... glad you thought of that. Desert races are not the spectator event that short course is, especially when there's no loops. Last V2R wasn't pulling an enclosed and got lots of pics with some planning. Hell, I live in the MH so might as well since have to go that way anyways. This coming Wednesday is the V2R time trials out by the Gold Strike casino in Jean to determine start order for the trucks and truggies so I better get in gear. Did you see that Tatum buggie for sale here in classifieds, looks like a deal for $50K. You going to the Monster Energy Cup at Boyd this year? Their format last year was crap and not many of the top guys. You have to sneak cameras like ours in now also. Hey, check out the pic of the trucks rear end (kinda hard to see), no ring and pinion, uses side cut beveled gears from the final drive of an off shore race boat, the drive shaft attaches at the same height on the housing as the axles (better ground clearance), has small diameter axles and gun drilled, the torque multiplier is planetary gears out by the wheels. Less heat as the usual ring and pinion teeth slide, a shearing action that makes heat and requires high viscosity lube that robs power also. And check out the chromoly billet trailing arm, no weld or adjustment. Anyways.... See ya Pete. Lee Edited August 9, 2015 by RUn2it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
