Season finale. LDC Day 2- Crashed out/ DNF. Everyone’s okay, still can’t feel my legs, but otherwise just bumps and bruises. Thankful the car did its job and me and @fourlow got away unscathed for the most part. Sadly, the chassis appears to have twisted pretty good. Managed to do a full barrel roll without touching the roof. And landed on our side. Part of racing, going to have them bad days with the good days. Thank you to @powersport_pros for building a car that kept us safe. @herlingracing and @energycontractor for all the help getting us to the races and the hospitality this weekend. If it wasn’t for the crash, it was an absolutely epic weekend at the races. I have the best team of friends around me I could have ever asked for. Huge shoutout to @matthews_media__ for the content this weekend. He absolutely killed it and is awesome to work with. Time to rebuild and be back for 2027.

What I love about this sport. It’s all about being crazy enough to ask questions, and courageous enough to go out and try it. I’m not really qualified to give people advice, but if there’s something you’re curious about. Something you want to build, some ridiculous idea, and you just can’t stop thinking about it. Ask the questions, then go find the answer. You might end up somewhere you never could’ve planned for, I know I did. I am incredibly humbled to be where I am now.

What an event by SNORE at the Dirt Shades Caliente 250! We’re super stoked to come away with P1 OVERALL against the entire field.

This was easily one of the most fun—and challenging—races of the year. Tight cliff-edge sections, trees, loose and slippery shale rock, water crossings, and even wild horses crossing the course. Caliente had a little bit of everything.

We pushed hard from the start, worked through the UTV field and then set our sights on the 6100 trucks. After making a couple passes, we moved into P1 overall on corrected time by the half way mark, running behind the Herbst truck on course.

For about 50 miles we absolutely sent it trying to close the gap—taking some big risks and getting within visual range, but never quite close enough to get on his bumper. We thought the tight tree sections would be our opportunity, but the heavy stagnant dust actually made the trees even tougher to close the gap. And one fun takeaway was watching the amazing skills of Herbst helicopter pilot jetting through the canyons and trees.

When the dust settled, we ended up bringing home the overall by a little over 2 minutes.

And through all of it—no hiccups and no flats. Codawg Kendall never had to get out of the Polaris Factory Pro R once.

Huge shout out to Kendall for calling an awesome race, the Lantz family for coming out, Campbell for the race support, and the water polo boys for being part of the weekend.

And, as always, none of this happens without mom, dad and the incredible companies that support the program.

@snore_racing Caliente 250 is done. Unfortunately didn’t end how we wanted with only completing 2 of the 4 laps but it drove into the trailer at the end of the day so that’s a win. We had some issues which we think is the transmission cooler blowing hot air onto the fuel filter causing the motor to vapor lock. We came into the race to shake out any more issues as we get ready for King of Hammers 2027. It was still a super fun race and glad we did it. Plan is to move the fuel filters, build some heat shields and try again at Rage at the River in December. Big thanks to my wife for putting up with this crazy idea I have and my parents for all their help and support. My dad came out Thursday and helped get the pit setup and co drove all weekend. And thanks to John and Colton and Chuck for coming out and pitting. Onto the next one!

Part2- Race morning, now this is where it gets interesting.

My dad’s new tires? They wake up, and yeah, ones flat again. He goes to discount. It’s a broken freaking wheel the whole time. Not even a bad tire. So that starts race day off just grand. We figure it out, and that problems solved. New problem, the race trailer has a flat also 🤣 Thankfully we carry two spares on it. So swap one on, and we are good to head to staging.
Staging goes smooth, we didn’t qualify, so we are like ten from being last in class. Thank god for all the rain! Because we are gunna be using that front bumper. Comms check, Zello is working bitchin. Race radios are working amazing. All the pit trucks split off to go to their assignments. Me and Thad are calmly sitting in staging watching the 50+ cars in front of us start. Finally, it our turn. Time to do what I love the most, start passing cars. Thad is killing it on the notes, and we start crushing it. Passing cars left and right as we work our way over como pass. As we start pushing down, the brakes start fading. This was my reminder, hey stupid, you’re in the heaviest car in this class and driving it crazy hard at full race weight. You’re asking a shit ton of these brakes, tame it down. So we do, we back it down a notch as we start passing cars trying to limp to pit 1 on 3 flats, cars with ripped off corners, and just all kinds of carnage. I remind myself how hard we worked to get here and don’t be the guy putting your shit on the trailer at pit 1. Calm down, and lock in. We had called pit 1 to bleed brakes, but changed our minds. The brakes came back, and we had a fast race car again. We get through pit 1, 2 and 3 clean, running a smooth race with my only mistake being hitting some water holes I was trying to avoid. 5 miles from pit 4, our first real problem of the day pops up…. The car just dies. It felt like someone turned the ignition off. No catastrophic noise, no drama. Just a full loss of power. To be continued….

Vegas to Reno was epic as always and super fun going the other way, but didn’t give us the finish we were looking for. 48 minutes of downtime for repairs turned what could have been a solid finish within the top 10 into P23.

But after getting the car fully sorted at Pit 8, it ran flawlessly for the final 160 miles. So we’re going to re-rack and head to Caliente next week for the SNORE 250 to get more seat time and keep building. Big shout out to out to the team including the H2O boys. Without you this couldn’t be possible 💪

The dust and mud has settled from R2V and just reflecting on what a great weekend we all had in the desert. Although it never seems to fail that something sets us back before the race and this was no exception. From the chase truck having issues and in the dealership the whole time we were in Reno to smashing the trailer into a telephone pole perseverance and stress was at a all-time high we would have never made the start had @jayhale7531 never found the parts we needed in salt lake and @kerryelynn driving them out to us. Huge thanks to @ramon.j.rivera & @michael.rivera54 for pulling my trailer with me and @muzzy9817 to the start barely in time to stage as the truck was getting finished up. As for the race we had a great pace going making plenty of passes until we lost brakes right before pit 1 and didn’t get them fully resolved by pit 5 putting us down about 45 minutes. Thanks to @fourlow for finding the problem in pit 4 and getting them to work for a bit. We had some new blood on the team this time @matthew_delahunty @jake_delahunty & @anaiddelahunty first time ever at an off-road event and they were our only chase guys and they absolutely crushed it! Welcome to the team boys!!
Thanks to @vitalmotionco for helping cover our first few pits for reassurance and @wannabe_wagon & @the_nunnery for taking care our first fuel pit. (Super quick!) Besides losing brakes for the first half we ran a flawless 2nd half coming in 24th out of 62 in class. We had such a blast ripping through the Nevada desert. I can’t thank everyone enough for making this all possible and can’t wait for the next one! #swirlwoodcraftracing @jayhale7531 @jodeforfun @polarisrzr @bilsteinus @animal.installations @omfperformance @m81designs @sparcousa @weddleindustries @theutvpros 📸: @harlenfoley @dirtnationmag
