Ricky James Pilots the SoCal SuperTrucks SuperLite to Victory in Utah

June 28, 2010 (San Bernardino, CA)—SoCal
SuperTrucks
and Ricky James finished off an event-filled weekend by winning the
SuperLite class during Round 8 of the Lucas Oil Off Road Race Series
this past
weekend at Miller Motorsports Park outside Salt Lake City, UT.

The team’s race weekend kicked off on Friday,
where the
SuperLite class competed in a $6,000-purse, exhibition race for 2,000+
Miller
Motorsports Park VIP’s. Ricky had an intense battle with Jeremy “Twitch”
Stenberg throughout the race, taking the overall lead at the halfway
point of
the race. With 3 laps to go, James began to experience severe arm pump
in his
left arm, which controls the trucks gas, brakes, clutch and shifting.
Ricky
slowly faded back, saving his cramping arm for the weekend’s
more-important
point’s rounds.

Going in to Saturday, the first focus was to
determine how
to address the arm pump issues Ricky was experiencing. The use of a
COMPEX
muscle stimulator assisted in warming up James arm before practice and
clearing
the arm of lactic acid immediately after practice. James chose a new
strategy
by going easy until the mandatory caution, but couldn’t find a rhythm
through
the track’s most technical sections leaving him with a 5th place finish
for the
day. The crew immediately began diagnosing the trucks handling issues
and
quickly determined the suspension needed to be dramatically adjusted.
With the
help of Fox Racing Shox, a new set-up was installed late Saturday Night
to
compensate for Sunday’s inevitable rough track conditions.

James entered Sunday’s race day with a renewed
confidence in
himself and the truck, a combination that has eluded him so far this
season.
Ricky used qualifying to get comfortable with the new suspension
settings and
by race time was feeling unbeatable. James drove the SoCal SuperTrucks
SuperLite to total domination, pulling away from the field before and
after the
mandatory caution, taking a well-deserved and overdue victory.

“I’ve had an 800-pound gorilla on my back and,
this weekend,
I knocked him out,” said Ricky James. “I can’t thank the SoCal
SuperTrucks crew
enough for the hard work and faith they have in me to work so hard. I
want to
express my thanks to all my sponsors like Rockwell, Bully Dog,
BFGoodrich and
Forgiven Energy for their support, as well as a special ‘thank you” to
John
Marking at Fox Racing Shox and Johnny Greaves for their help in dialing
in my
suspension. I am pumped for the rest of the season and can’t wait to get
back
out there.”

The SoCal SuperTrucks team would like to thank
Rockwell Time
for their gracious hospitality added support this weekend along with
other
current 2010 team sponsors, which include Bully Dog Technologies,
BFGoodrich,
Forgiven Energy, Walker Evans, K&N Filters, Alpinestars, Fox
Suspension,
EPIC Action Video Cams and AOKNick.org.
