Last month the ColeCar Motorsports Race Team headed to Moab for Dirt Riot Mountain Round 1. We didn’t post a recap for good reason. Race Driver Mike Klensin explains; “We weren’t able to do much. We broke in practice and went back and – with the help of a few other teams – we got the car back to the start line.”

“We qualified OK – mid-pack; but then during the first lap of the race we broke a bolt on our suspension. There wasn’t much to say after that. We were done. So we didn’t have much luck at Moab, but I feel real good about this next race.”

MetalCloak Stampede; Prairie City, CA – Saturday, May 9

Mike called en route; it’s 13 hours from Tucson to Prairie City. He’s grateful they had plenty of time between races. “The whole team’s put a lot of work into getting the car ready. We’ve gone through it extensively and replaced all the bolts. It should be in good shape.

MetalCloak Stampede is the first one in the series for Ultra4 West, one of the bigger races we do throughout the year. There will be a lot of competition, so we’re excited to see where we can end up with the top guys.”

Ultra4’s video describes it as an ‘insane short course filled with jumps and punishing rock obstacles.’ Check it out:

A great event for spectators

MetalCloak promises to be a great spectator experience as 100+ cars battle it out for the win! Ultra4racing.com tells us “The course will consist of a 2 mile lap all visible to spectators filled with rock obstacles, tight turns and go fast sections.”
