Default Second again
HI Gang

Well the Silver state 300 was a close one our XTZ lead most of the way after starting 3rd. The difference was two flats. Bill from Jagged X said "it was the most perfect race we ever ran" and thats what they needed we battled for 324 miles and they crossed the finish less than 60 seconds ahead of us.

Second place is a good finish in any desert race but this makes two in a row and its killing me. The XTZ was fast we had no problem running them down after the two flats but just couldn't make the pass. Will do it again Oct. 17th in Prim Nv.

Later Jim

So Jim am I correct to say that you guys finished behind the Jagged X rzr by 60 seconds with stock suspension arms on the xtz verses their long travel rzr?

Jim, I ordered a set of the King Shocks for my XTZ due in part to your strong endorsement of them. Judging by the results of your finishes with King, I think I'm going to be quite happy.
Thanks for being not only a championship caliber racing team for AC, but thanks for being a test-bed for products like King Shocks. That benefits us.

Thats still pretty impressive, as I have seen the Jagged-x rzrs, and they are pretty built.

Is there a build log, or anything showcasing your prowler? I would like to see some more pics of it.

Heck Ill make sure to say whats up at the Terribles Gran Prix.

I don't have pics. of the stock arms but it's so simple it's funny but it works so good and their so strong I can't bring my self to run any thing different.

Come by and see us at Prim and I can walk you through the whole car.
