South Point 250, Vegas {January 2013}

Brrrr.rrr.rrrrrrr.......

That's pretty much the first thing that comes to mind, when I think back to the events of the South Point 250 in Jean, Nevada a few weekends ago.  Brrrrr......it was freezing.  Literally.

Dohrman Family Racing set up with their new Class 1 car, for it's very first race of our season.  Next to us, we had Bill Belansky's team Kryptonight Industries Racing.  Both sponsored teams of Dirt Dames.  The morning of the race, all cooling fluids had been frozen overnight.  Remember? I said it was FREEZING??  Took DFR about an hour and a half of dumping boiling water into the radiator to get the car started, and fluids moving......the race was flawless.  Not even a flat tire for us.  My husband, Dave Jenkins, started the race with our Uncle, Jeff Dohrman (and the guy that writes the checks :)) as his co-driver.  They did the first half of the race, then switched to Chad Dohrman, with his co-driver, Justin Dohrman.  Who finished the race, taking 3rd place.

Kryptonight Industries, well, they didn't have such the luck we did.  Their motor blew up 1/4 mile from the start line.  UGH.  But the truck looked good!!!!







 Looking forward to all the wonderful things to come this year! Thanks to everyone who helps us get by each race, and for making it possible for us to do what we love!  <3
