The MINT claims another car!

Well we came we saw and the MINT got us! After Beau fixed the throttle the oil light came on a mile later. Sherrie called us and we got them a new drain plug that the MINT claimed. I have to say that I'm proud of the team. I really can't complain because after all I was able to fulfill a life long DREAM!

Thanks Team, Juan, Pete, Bob, Beau, Bennet, JP, Sherrie, Billy, Mike, Dick, Jerry, Sam, Jeff, J, T and all the supporters of Team Cold Forged!

Sincerely,

JR

The first lap at the Mint

Started under the Red Bull arch. SNORE finally got a good start finish. In the first 3 miles there were over 30 cars stuck in a 3 mile silt bed. There was no wind and no visability for the first 9 miles and every time a car passed or we passed.

We took just under 4 hours on the first lap but the old 1974 car is still in it. Coming back to the pit we went side by side off and jump with a class 1 car.

Beauhawk & Sherrie just left and they are down at mile 3 fixing the throtle cable but they will be up soon.

Talk at you after lap 2.

Ready to go for the MINT!

It's 6:25AM and the car is ready.

first lap: JR & Beauhawk

second lap: Beauhawk & Grandma Sherrie

third Lap: Steve A. & Beauhawk

Last 60 miles: Dick & Jerry

LETS GO RACININ!!!!!!

THE MINT STARTS SATURDAY!

Follow Team Cold Forged at the 2009 Mint 400 in Las Vegas NV.

I'll be placing post every chance I get. We will try to give you the inside scoop as the race goes.

To all the team members that couldn't make it keep an eye on this for updates.

NITRO CIRCUS BAM GET A WAKEUP CALL!

I was watching Nitro Circus the other day and for those of you that race there was an episode with BAM from Jackass that just killed me.

If you have seen BAM's show you know he's a city slicker with his hummer and lambo. In the show he gets to ride with Travis in a Trophy Truck on about a 2 mile stretch of mild rollers. Travis almost lost it once but when they returned BAM was shaking from the rush. I believe even though he's crazy as hell he has a new respect for the guys that race in the dirt. I welcome any celebrity to take that challenge.

RESPECT THE DIRT CITY BOYS!

McCool Shocks All In Pomona.

Billy McCool did what very few will ever be able to do. He and his Team Members opened the 2008 Championship Off Road Racing season buy building a car in 31 days from nothing and racing in competition on the 32nd day. Cold Forged was proud to have helped out McCool in 2008 and we are looking forward to short course racing making a comeback.

MINT 400 CREW LOOKING TO DO IT AGAIN!

For those that were there at last year's MINT 400 off-road race in Las Vegas NV, you missed one hell of a night.

This year Team Cold Forged is back in a 1974 Buggy and running in the Vintage Class. We are a team that loves it rough and we will lay it all on the line in 2 weeks. (March 28th 2009)
