The Trophy Truck #24 has evolved over the last 4 years into a reliable work horse for Rick and Jeff. Each year we have made changes and refinements to the truck making it more and more a finisher.
The truck is still powered with a GMC LS7 motor. Through the course of going through several motors and transmissions we have learned the value of finishing. You have to "first finish to finish first". Reliability was the theme for 2010 and we are going to take that same philosophy into 2011. We are however looking into running E85.
Again Jeff Hogdon will be navigating for Rick this year for most of the races. Be sure to keep your eye on Jeff as he also will be driving 124 from time to time.
It is now small task just to get to each venue with 4 chase trucks, 4 toy haulers, 1 motor home and another flatbed trailer. Some have related it to the "the circus coming to town". I would have to agree!
Rick and Jeff are looking forward to the 2011 season with the expatiation of racing all 3 of the desert Vorra Series. Not just competing but making the podium each race.
We also are exploring a few other race venues and will keep you posted and they develop.
