Just paid my entry fee so no turning back now I guess.
It's been too long since I was competitive in the dirt so when I saw the 36 Hours of Uwharrie scroll across my phone a couple weeks ago I decided we needed to make it happen.
I also need to promote my new product, the Strap Wrap Organizer (THE best way to organize your ratchet straps!), and what better way to do it than plaster it on the side of a race car (term used loosely here)?
Not wanting to tackle it on my own (because it's lonely in the woods under a broken truck by yourself) I called up my buddy Dan Krenzer of Alamance Kaffee Werks. His resume includes Boy Scout merit badges in both canoeing and marksmanship, and he roasts some kickass coffee, so I figured he was more than qualified. You can order his delicious custom roasts online at www.akwcoffee.com.
After showing Dan K all the sweet promo videos and talking all kinds of strategies he brought up an important point: I don't have a vehicle to enter into the competition. Details...
A few hours and couple phone calls later and a good buddy Don Holly (some of you may remember him from ECORS days racing the green 4 door Rodeo) offered up his trusty spare vehicle, a 2 door Isuzu Trooper RS and a pile of spare parts from his old race truck.
So over the next couple weeks we'll be swapping in the Wagoneer Dana 44's with lockers and chromo goods into the Trooper.
