READIES TO RACE IN THE
BILEK RACING SILVER STATE "300"
Team Prepares to Bring Class 1 and Class 10 Cars
Reno, NV (September 25th, 2008) - Speed Technologies, one of the largest and
foremost off-road race team in the United States and Mexico, is gearing up
for another Nevada race this weekend. The Bilek Racing Silver State "300"
in Mesquite, NV is a 297 mile race through the Nevada desert and promises to
both challenge the team and give them a bit more practice before the
grueling Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. The team plans on racing both their HMS
Avenger Class 1 (#1528) car and their Jimco Class 10 car (#1055). John
Herder and Chuck Dempsey will be driving the HMS Avenger with Herder
starting the race and Dempsey finishing it out. Mark Levrett and Casey
Currie will be driving the Class 10 car with Levrett starting out the race
and Currie wrapping it up.
"Our pre-run went really, really well and we the cars performed
exceptionally well," said team manager Phil Johnson. "We have a solid team
of drivers behind the wheel of each car and hopefully their experience can
help bring us across the finish line"
The team recently competed in the Terrible's PRIMM 300 and managed to bring
both the HMS Avenger and The Dominator across the finish line - it was the
first time The Dominator has finished a race and the team is currently
working on getting the car in perfect shape for the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000.
The team plans to bring at least two cars and a full motorcycle team to that
race.
