Well here is The 4R Race Team!! We as a team have all been working endlessly on building these cars during our off time after work, putting in the hustle n grind with late nights and barely running on fumes ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ช๐ฝ Each car made it to King of the Kastle thanks to the hard work of the team! 2 out of 4rโs brought home the hardware ๐
We at DB Motosports would like to personally thank our family and pit team for their love, support and extremely tedious and hard work to help pit and make sure our cars were functioning as best as they could for the race. Special thank you to Dillen Belt (DBโs lead tech) for your hustle in taking lead on tech for pits๐ช๐ฝ Special thank you to Shane Lincoln and Jesse Santos for taking on fuel and safety in pit! Thank you to Gia the youngest pit crew member , you did amazing๐๐ฝ Also special thanks to Josh for manning the team/pit communication and helping tech! Thank you to Donovan for also helping out on communication!
Without out the crew, there is no team and for that we are extremely grateful ๐๐ฝโค๏ธ
Unfortunately, DB did not place in this race due to a suspension issue and we were a DNF! We have found that 3 mav Rโs in this particular race (one of them being ours) had the same issue where the lower a-arm bolts were backing out! Out bolts were held up with red loctite and properly torqued before the race and even security sealed! One of the bolts gave way when we were on our 4th lap doing 86mph, we lost steering as our front right tire buckeled into our fender sending us plowing into sage brush. No major damage and we managed to guide the car off track without rolling over! The most important thing is no one was hurt!
Huge shout out to Dennis (team mate) and Angie of Wicked Fab Works helping to build our race cages and custom fabricating many of our needed components. Shout out to Sal, our team mate team manager/organizer/creator for taking lead on the infrastructure and importance of our team! Shout out to Steve (teammate) for assisting with our garmin gps units and Darlene for your awesome photography of our cars in action! Shoutout to Barrett Hepburn of Barrett Hepburn Design for your amazing talent on designing our teams race wrap, we got so much compliments at the race on how beautiful the wraps were! Also special thanks to Joe and the entire KOTK crew for putting on this awesome event, you all are appreciated!
Most of all thank you lord ๐๐ฝ for keeping us all safe, keeping the crew and team mates safe out on the track! Needless to say, this weekend was so much fun, canโt wait for Rage in the Sage! ๐๐ค๐ฝ
