On the way to the Dallas SX it was a rough night for the new team.
Our new race team has been in the works for 3 months now, building bikes and everything else. We have spent a few months working on our new 32' stacker trailer, with new wrap, canopies, skirting and all that cool stuff for the race team with the RV. On Wednesday night just 1 hour from Dallas at 11pm, the driver had pulled over to a rest area to eat and clean up. After a little break, he was back on the road headed to the stadium. A few miles later, the stacker disconnected from the rv while going down the interstate, flew in the ditch and hit a telephone destroying the trailer and most everything in it. Once police got involved, it became known that this area has a issue with trailer theft. While he was at the rest stop, guys removed chains, and removed the nut holding the ball on the hitch with attempts to lift the trailer off the hitch so the ball slid off, hookup and leave. Driver started the rig, scared them off after they had just disconnected everything and he only made it a few miles before loosing the trailer. Trailer was locked to hitch, so they attempted to remove the nut that holds the ball of the hitch on and slide into new one to steal trailers in the area. The team has been working hard to get all of Jace, AJ and Vinces stuff to the track and fixed, so they can race this weekend. The world we live in is unreal, but thankful nobody was hurt, and guys will still be racing. Bummed we only had liability insurance on the trailer, and are out a huge amount before we even made it to first round. I've had a pity party with myself for a bit this morning, and now moving on and ready for all club guys to be racing this weekend! Thanks to all our sponsors for understanding, and something bigger and better will come together for us!
