We’ve been pre running for approximately one week
being such a quick race we dedicate whatever time we need
specially since we are 25th off the line.
One of the things that caught us by surprise is that there’s not going to be a qualifying run,
we were counting on it since we normally end up in the top 5 or top 3 to start.
We made some changes in the front suspension for this race and the truck felt a whole lot better.
The changes were made after the Parker race because the track is very different,
and the changes are going to benefit us in this race, the front suspension is working very well.
One of the things we’ve been wanting to do for several years is to race more often.
It’s good for me as a pilot, for the team to practice and to get more mileage on the truck.
A month ago we were in Parker, in two weeks we’re going to be in Mint.
The races are close together and that’s good because you drive more often and it’s practice
more miles and as the americans say “seat time” and that generates more confidence to drive the truck.
The guys at the shop have done an amazing job having the truck ready after Parker
and Mint is two weeks away, they do a great job of tearing it down completely
and then putting it back together.
For me as a pilot I’m living a dream, 3 races in six weeks, that’s a first for me,
and we have to take advantage, we have a second place by ten seconds
tomorrow we are going for the win.
Definitely this 2014 should bring more victories
today was extraordinary, we had cero flats, the team worked flawlessly
I had the opportunity to watch Tavo from the helicopter all race,
he did an excellent job, what can a proud father tell you?
Starting second to last, with every stat against us,
It didn’t rain as south as we thought, we had it rough,
but obviously not impossible, here we are, first place.
We had a very good and clean race and very proud to win this two years in a row.
The truck worked perfectly, it gave me everything I asked for
no flaws, no flats, we are very happy.
I had never been part of a race like this, the course changed hours before the start
the race started late, there was an accident and the race stopped for a while
three things that never happen, happened in one race.
Javi prepared and excellent truck, the guys at the shop did a great job
what I needed from the truck I got, and I asked a lot because we had a big challenge ahead of us.
We all wanted to win this race two years in a row and in 2015 we’re coming for a third.
I couldn’t ask more from my team except keep up the good work,
because we are unstoppable right now.
