It rained the entire week leading up to the race but the track crew did an amazing job getting the track as ready as they could. With that said, this track presented one of the roughest and most challenging track conditions we have experienced in 2017.
Due to the nature of the track conditions, we had to completely change our normal setup to handle the rough terrain but yet, high grip conditions and extreme cold weather. Landen Lewis worked hard to find a setup for the team, which turned out to be spot on.

In Pro Nitro Buggy, Landen would take TQ and the win in the 20 minute main. The XRAY XB8 worked flawless and so many non-XRAY drivers told me how well our cars looked. Landen would also take TQ and win both A1 and A2 in the double Amains in Pro EBuggy to pull out the double victory.
