Bulloch digs deep to finish at
Round 1 UROC Pro-National
Cedar
City, Utah – (April 14, 2005) It’s the little
things that often keep a team from taking home the trophy.
Such was the case for On Track Krawler Team last weekend
at the UROC Pro-National Round 1. Throughout the first
day of competition, Bulloch raged terror on the same
course that Supercrawl III was held on at Rocky Mountain
Raceway in Salt Lake City, Utah. After a wild first
day of rain and howling cold winds, Bulloch led all
Modified Stock competitors with a -5 point total.
All
of that changed on Saturday when the Suzuki’s
ring and pinion exploded during the steep climb up the
Matterhorn obstacle. That coupled with a twisted rear
axle; put a stop to all hopes of a podium finish. “We
really have been on a roll so far this season and we’ve
had a good share of wins and podium finishes,”
explained Dean. “However, after the mechanical
issues we suffered on Saturday, I felt lucky to finish
4th. We ran the last couple obstacles in two-wheel drive.”
Unfortunately,
you can’t break ring and pinions, twist an axle,
roll over upside down on an obstacle and still hope
to finish well. The team diligently worked on the problem,
but discovered they had only one option and that was
to send the truck back out on the course in only two-wheel
drive. On Track Krawler Team® made it to the finish
in the 4th position, which was no small feat considering
the breakage on the Suzuki rock rig.
“This
man made course had the potential to have some very
low scores, but the combination of nasty weather and
mud made for an interesting competition,” commented
Dean. “But our BFGs were solid through the wet
conditions; our PSC Steering components worked well
and our Fox Shox were great. This truck is a rolling
testimonial for the all the quality products that make
it work.”
The
On Track Krawler Team® was featured on five different
Salt Lake City, Utah regional television stations that
included ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and KTSU during the 5-days
they were in Salt Lake City. “Its great to have
the opportunity to showcase our motor sport to the television
audience,” commented Bulloch.
On
Track Krawler Team® heads to Round 2 of the UROC
Pro-National Series at Firebird Raceway, Phoenix, Arizona
on May 12-14, 2005.
