John Melvin driver of record for 1912 Polaris RZR XP1000.
Race 1: BITD Parker 250
We started 3rd in the Pro Production next to teammate Cody Nygren. We pull up to the start and green light and we get the hole shot into the desert with Nygren right behind us. This goes on for a bit then Jason Melvin, my co-driver, says 1916 is no longer behind us and we continue to charge forward, catching the turbo cars that started before us. We are getting amped! As we go through midway pits we are physically 2nd, the Polaris RZR is solid, the LSR suspension is perfect, and the Weller Racing motor is turning the GBC Mongrels to a fast pace and we catching some turbo cars. Except one that we passed on the side of the course had caught us, Mr. Johnny Lightning Angal. We move out of the way and I decided to put the skinny pedal to the floor to pace him down the rough section next to a fence line which did not work for us. I clipped a sharp rock on the left rear inner edge of the tire, and man did the f bombs drop! Jason jumps out and does a pretty kick ass tire change as I watch some 1900 cars go by, then we jump back on course to make up my mistake. We catch a couple of cars that passed us including 1970 that we will be mixing it up with in the second lap.
