On the lighter side of things; in this months SportsCar, the official magazine of the SCCA, Big Reg made it on page 13 next to mention of the RallySprints taking place in Colorado.

Well, we can at least say we tried and have the pictures to show it! After running it down to the line getting a different transmission, new clutch, and new axels before the Temple Canyon Hill Climb in Canon City, CO on our second trial run up the hill the engine was done for. About a mile from the finish we lost power and decided to pull over. After being towed back to the pit we pulled the plugs we discovered that one of them had been completely crushed by the piston, while the other three were fowled as well. That was the end of the hill climb for Big Red Racing.

Because of prior engagements we will not be racing at the hill climb in Monarch, CO. Forseeing a fresh engine installed our next race will be in late July. Be sure to check the schedule for updates and more information.
