ASG Racing - Trophylite Racing at Primm

ASG Racing Airs It Out at Primm

Santa Rosa Valley, CA (February 22, 2008) ? ASB Racing was one of the  
eight Trophylite competitors to take the green flag at the ?Battle of  
Primm?, hosted by SNORE (Southern Nevada Off-Road Enthusiasts). The  
first event of the 2008 KMC Wheels Trophylite Race Series presented by  
KC Hilites saw competitors run four laps around a thirteen mile long  
desert course, once on Saturday, and again on Sunday. The combined  
times of the two races would determine the finishing order.

Saturday saw Matt Armstrong behind the wheel, with Shane Scully riding  
shotgun. Matt drove a great race, led much of the way, only to run out  
of fuel about a mile and half from the finish.  This happened to five  
other trucks in the class as well.  By the time the truck was  
refueled, the time allotted for the class has expired. This resulted  
in a DNF.  One consolation to the team was the fact that Matt turned  
the fastest lap of the class, ahead of the likes of Ricky Johnson and  
eventual winners Logan Knecht and Billy Worthing.

Sunday the team put Shane Scully behind the controls with Josh  
Baltimore as navigator. Shane literally had the #6065 Trophylite  
flying.  There was a nice high speed jump near the start finish line  
that Shane hit at nearly 80mph causing the truck to fly almost a  
hundred feet before landing (see photo). Unfortunately it was a little  
too much for the truck as the left front control arm broke midway  
through the second lap. The caused the truck to roll over going  
through a slow corner. It resulted in the second DNF of the weekend.

Even though ASG Racing came home with a DNF, the weekend was  
considered a big success. The drivers got some good seat time with the  
truck and the crew learned more about the tuning of the chassis and  
suspension.

?This weekend was great experience for ASG Racing,? commented Josh  
Baltimore. ?We will be better prepared at Parker. I know there will be  
twice as many trucks at the next race. The past weekend helped us get  
us to the leading edge of the learning curve. Look for ASB Racing to  
land on the podium in Arizona.?

The next race on the Trophylite schedule is May 16-18, the Blue Water  
Grand Prix, in Parker, Arizona.
