Any plans on releasing another video on Desert Rides? Your previous posts were great, no bullshit, just real behind the scences race coverage.

We ran the Parker BWDC for our first race and had some ups and downs....We didnt have much experience with this car prior to the race (exept for an afternoon in Plaster City), so we were feeling the car our Saturday. The car ran well, except for some pretty bad bump steer towards the end of the race (which we anticipated after talking to several people who have driven and worked on the car). We ran 4th in class 10 and around 10th including the trucks (rear start). We had a good starting position Sunday and were going to try to push the car a little more....and we did. Same old story....we were getting around several of the trucks and catching the next 10 car when the motor took a dive....We have always had plans to swap an Ecotec into this car and even almost bought the car without the motor (which I should have). So that is where we are right now. Unfortunately I am living and working in Europe and have not had time to start working on the swap. We are planning to run the the entire BITD series next year.
