Dustball Rally 2009
The 2009 Dustball Rally went off without a hitch. Everything went as planned and everyone had an absolute blast.
The big secret destination was Las Vegas, Nevada. Teams traversed a treacherous course that lead them through a highway formerly known as Highway 666 (The Devil's Highway). This is one of the most dangerous yet scenic highways in the United States. Below is a link of the entire course.

Dustball 500 was FUN!!
17 total DBR500 teams signed up. One was a no show at sign-in. Two cars were impounded the night before launch (stickers = more horsepower and racing skillz). 14 cars launched Saturday morning. One team broke down outside Alamogordo and were towed back at around 3-4pm-ish. All other teams survived completion:
1st Place Gimmick Rally - Saab 9-5 - Team Rocket Rabbit
2nd Place Gimmick Rally - Toyota Tacoma X-Runner - Team Seductive
3rd Place Gimmick Rally - Corvette Z06 - Team In Debt

Great Turnout for Track Day
Although the Track Day was planned as an open event with unlimited entrants, we hoped for a maximum of 30 cars. Having only 22 actually register in advance, we definitely thought that maybe eight more would show up on the day of. Instead a whopping 27 more showed up and admittedly we were unprepared for the vast group. This was truly an unusual circumstance and almost never happens, but we managed to get everyone on the track with plenty of seat time for those that wanted it. It turned out to be fun, safe and a good time for all those that attended and stuck it out. Due to electrical failure in the entire area, the PA system became useless when it came to announcing run groups; but yet the racers still stuck it out.
Cesar takes Third Place!
Below is the story abou the most recent Sprint race by DeansList driving instructor Cesar Fuentes:
Three wide in their salute to the race fans as 21 of the 22 registered Renegade Sprint Cars made their way around the Southern New Mexico Speedway with Cesar Fuentes and Curt Barnett leading the field to the green with the 43 of Barnett exploding into the race lead and running away early. Four wide off of turn four, as the field raced hard around the Speedway as the line was to the high side with the 43 abusing that line as he continued to run away.
