Snore Rage At The River, Laughlin December 2009

In 2009 SNORE took on the challenge of racing the old SCORE Laughlin track, and succeeded. The Race took place in Laughlin Nevada, on December 12th and 13th, with Qualifying for Class 1 and Trophy Trucks, along with contingency on Friday the 11th.

Here is some action from qualifying
Rick Thomas blasts through the whoops in his trophy truck






Mark Ewing packs it up as his trophy truck goes through the whoops






Ross uses all of his travel on his class one car as he comes of a roller





After time trials was the prerun the tech and contingency, here are some shots from contingency






Race cars line contingency row






Strunk gets ready to move the truck back to the race track after tech




Saturday morning started the race, It was a cold and cloudy after scouting the course the afternoon before I decided to head out to the area with the most amount of interesting shooting spots within walking distance, there weren't many access roads and you weren't aloud to drive on or near the course so location was key. I shot most of the day at a g-out that went into a turn which made for some good shots.







A 5/1600 car jumps into the turn



Pat Dailey's class 5 cars goes nose down into the turn



Kevin McMurray's 1450 speeds through the whoops before the g-out



Another 1600 car jumps into the turn



Dan Vance Jumps into the turn in Class 7



Jeff Harrison in his class 7 truck lifts off



A trophy Lite catches some air



Josh Daniels flies through the course



Ron Whitton wheelies through out of the g-out



Cameron Steele flies off the jump



Terry Householder flies through the turn



The LDVC class 1 car flies through the turn



A class 12 car leaps out of the g-out.

On Sunday I decided to checkout a spot close to the infield where I heard some great action was happening so I started to shoot it for 5/1600 class and liked what I was getting so I stayed for the day. This section is a canyon full of deep whoops and a couple turns.



A 1600 car goes through a deep whoop out of the turn



Doug takes cover from the rain



A 1450 truck mashes through the whoops



Mark Slater wheelies out of the turn



Rob McCacheron goes up on two wheels in the turn (he would end up saving it)



A 7s truck wheelies through the whoops



Two class 1's battle through the turn



A class 10 car smashes through the turn


A class 12 car shoots a roost through the turn



That would conclude a great racing weekend, and be my final race of the 2009 racing season. Check back for more blogs and the top 25 shots from 2009. First official race of the season will be The Parker 425, at the beginning of February so lookout! Thanks for reading.
