All of us with Empty Pockets Racing would like to Thank the crew from Rumblegoat Racing for all of your help at the Parker 425. We started the race sixth off the line and worked our way into third place by the end of the first lap. When the truck came in to fuel up we found that both of the rear leaf springs were broken. The Rumblegoat crew jumped in with the Empty Pockets crew to get the springs changed, and the Goodyear MTR's mounted and off into the desert Robert and Karl went.
Robert was able to work their way into 2nd place before a broken header on the left side, and a toasted alternator ended our day around mm81. We were able to rescue Robert and Karl from freezing in the desert. Both of them were soaked and freezing, and were very happy to get into the truck with us where the heater was blasting.
We got the truck back to the main pit around 03:30 in the morning and climbed in bed, after a 22hr long day.

Thank you, Gary & the Empty Pockets Racing Team

What an event! It's great to team up together. Props to Mike for all the work he did for both of us.

Gary it was good to meet you guys and sorry to hear that you didnt get a finish. how does the pass side spring look. Post some pics of the ones that we took off. And thank Lee again for pulling out of the sand... Mike

The passenger side leaf spring looks real good. It must have been in a bind the way the truck was sitting when we installed them. And I will tell him Thanks for you..... And Thank you for all your help..

Thank you, Gary
