SPECIAL EVENT (WINSLOW, ARIZ.) - Sticker Dude Motorsports Moves On as Rally Visits Nevada


PHOTO (select to view enlarged photo)

Thursday morning the Rally headed towards Henderson, Nevada, as the Mayor, as well as the Arch Bishop of Albuquerque, New Mexico gave the Fireball Rally competitors a great send off.

The first mission was to find the large Tee Pee at the New Mexico/Arizona border, and take a photograph while you sat in the Indian position wearing a traditional head dress. Teams could get five bonus points if you took the photo while wearing just your boxer shorts. Sticker Dude Motorsports grabbed the bonus.

The next stop was Winslow, Arizona. The town made famous by the song, ?Take It Easy? by the rock group, The Eagles. On the corner of Second and Kinsley, there really is a tribute to the song, complete with a girl in a flatbed Ford. After a quick lunch, it was back on the road, heading for the Montelago Village Resort in Henderson, Nevada.

Friday morning saw the Sticker Dude, Luke Zoetmulder, at the wheel of the Hankook Tires equipped 2007 Toyota Tundra TRD as the teams hit Las Vegas Motor Speedway for another ?Time Attack?.

Once again Sticker Dude Motorsports ran very quick times, faster than many of the sports cars. The level of competition is so high; a Fireball Rally competitor hit a concrete wall and totaled his Dodge Viper. Fortunately, the only thing bruised was his ego.

Later that night all the teams were invited to a Blackjack tournament, where you could wager all your known race points.

Please look for our next update as we find out the results of the Blackjack tournament and the final day of the rally.

Please remember the real goal of the Fireball Rally is to bring awareness to the missing children of America through the Children?s Rescue Network, as well as awareness to the team?s chosen charity First Candle, and its member organization, the Georgia SIDS Alliance.
