Rodeo Goat Motorsports

The line mountain 7 miler is now over. It started out good. Rough as ever but a good course nevertheless. Cruised through the first 3 laps clicking off passes to finally hit clean air until a large rack smashed the front diff and then smacked the rear. I was hoping it was just the diff but when I came back through start/finish rob let me know I blew out a cap on the rear driveshaft from the impact. Up to the trailer I went to quickly replace the slip with something found in the trailer box. Back out I head to try and make up missed time. Lap 4 was good and made it back to the start/finish in enough time to head back out for #5. At that point I was on a tear and was driving with no mechanical sympathy for the car. This became evident just after hitting the mile 4 check point. I left and made it a couple hinder feet before losing all drive completely. I winched my self out of the way and took a look under the skirt and found the trans to atlas adaptor mount had broken in half and ended the day. I couldn’t have been any farther from the trailer at this point but at least I was fairly close to the road and was able to winch myself backwards to a hill where I could coast in reverse a good ways down the trail into a back yard and down the driveway to the road where I awaited rescue with my truck and trailer. All things considered it was still a good day. Still managed to hold onto 8th place in a field stacked full of killers.

A little “maintenance” after the last race at line mountain. Getting ready to leave for the famous reading race in the morning.

Heading down into Connecticut to meet up with Greenleaf Motorsports and Zach Capaldo as we make our way down into Pennsylvania for tomorrow’s line mountain 3.5 miler. The goat got a fresh set of gears installed in the front axle this week. Hopefully we can make it through this race without major incident this time. Wish us luck.

We Had a good weekend at field and forest recreation area for the annual wheeling for warriors event. Even though there was considerable carnage I’ll still take a weekend of Motorsport and friends over a lot of other things. I’m planning to get the goat back together for the next race at line mountain on June 10th. It will be another great weekend of racing for anyone who wants to make the trek down to PA.
