English Racing's trip to the 2010 Shootout!

[SonySlave]

We're on the sour patch kids. Biggest bag I have EVER seen!

Here we are in Sturgis, South Dakota. It's 2:15am local time here and there are motorcycles EVERYWHERE! Apparently we chose to drive through during the famous bike rally here. GPS says 1240 miles to go! We expect to roll in about midnight Thursday night/Friday morning. So excited!

Car not finished in time makes me an unhappy camper!

Please be careful, there are stupid drivers out there. Can't wait to see you all again. We will be leaving Maryland at 11 pm tonight.

RISE AND SHINE EVERYONE! It's about 7:50am local time here and we're about 65 miles west of Sioux Falls, SD. Had a good productive night of driving and we're WAY ahead of schedule.

We're a bug wrecking ball!

Great updates man. I wish I could be there both days but I deff. will be there sunday. I can't imagine the drive. My girlfriend just flew to Washington earlier this year and it was a decent flight. Glad to see you guys making the trip though. Can't wait to see you guys there and keep the updates coming.

So we ran into our first and hopefully only snag of our trip. Think that stopped English Racing? HELL NO! 10 mind and we are back on the road about 15 miles from the I-90/I-35 interchange here in Minnesota.

woah, woah, woah... who gave you guys permission to leave the PNW?

I normally feel perfectly safe driving around knowing I can get AAA to tow me back to safety (English's shop!) if I get stranded. Now I'll be driving around without my security blanket

Have a good trip guys, and get back soon and safe

That's a nasty gash, any idea what did it?

Tough to say what it was. They've been there for quite a while and have gone almost 2000 miles without a break in very warm temps. No biggie really.

It's 2:53pm local time in the middle of Iowa with about 590 miles to go. Midnight tonight is still about when we're looking to get into town.

 

[TRIXTSI]

[eeeewidner]

That drive sucks. I moved from central Illinois to Portland in May. I wish I would of went through SD instead of Nebraska and Wyoming. Good luck at the shootout.

Had a great nights sleep and came out to Buschur's to say what's up.

Well the Shootout was absolutely AMAZING! Jeff Bush took 3rd in the Quick 16 class in the best race of the day BY FAR. Jeff did, however, take the fastest mph record for auto awd at 160mph! We'll be posting our videos and more pics when we get back into Washington State. THANKS TO BUSCHUR RACING FOR HAVING US AND EVERYONE THAT CAME AND SAID HI!

Here is the timeslip for Jeff's last pass against the Red Rocket 1G auto...

I thought the C-dub boys were over 160 a while ago. Sounds like an awesome time, how did the 16G car do?

 

[diambo4life]

They didn't take the 16G car. Congrats Jeff Bush. 160mph in an auto AWD is ####ing moving! Needed a little better 60'. Good work.

 

[kp116]

Congrats on the 160mph trap!!! The race against you guys and the red rocket was a very good race!
