Irvine, Calif.

Surviving

With the race in Hawthorne marking the last desert race of the year, the series provided a demanding course for the drivers. The 55-mile loop brought them through rocks, ditches and miles of sand, along with altitude changes after reaching the second checkpoint.

“After pre-running the course on Saturday, I knew the race was going to be about surviving,” said Crowley. “My strategy was to drive smart and minimize damage, and that is just what we did. We started second, and just kept the leader in our sight until they stopped for fuel after the first lap. We passed them in the pits and never looked back.”

Working With A Powerful Machine

Although the drivers were faced with the difficult course, the Kawasaki Teryx kept pushing along with Crowley and his co-pilot.

“The car ran great with no flat tires,” said Crowley. “We only had one minor issue, but we kept our Kawasaki out front for most of the race.”

Back to the Short Course

The next race for the VORRA circuit will take them back to the short course style of racing. Crowley has already claimed one victory in the format and looks to keep his streak alive in the different style of racing.
