The CANIDAE Off Road Race Team is back and will be racing at this year's prestigious Best in the Desert Vegas to Reno race beginning Friday, August 17th.<br />
<br />
The team took a short time-out from racing as its co-driver Scott Whipple, who is co-founder of <a href="http://www.canidae.com/">CANIDAE Natural Pet Food company</a>, was involved in bringing the pet food company's new Ethos Pet Nutrition facility online. Known as genuine pioneers in natural and holistic pet foods, CANIDAE opened its new state of the art pet food plant, Ethos Pet Nutrition, this summer in Brownwood, Texas.<br />
<br />
When asked about the company's decision to open its own pet food facility, Whipple stated, "As a small family owned pet food company, it has always been our goal to own and operate our own pet food facility. The reality is for most small pet food companies this just isn’t possible. Compared to the overall pet food landscape, we are a small company. We were motivated to create Ethos Pet Nutrition out of a love for pets, love of the pet food industry and out of loyalty to our customers. It is our goal that Ethos will be the best family owned pet food plant in America. We are truly fortunate and grateful that we are able to make our dream a reality."<br />

The team was gaining ground on the leaders, working their way through the pack, when adversity struck and the truck rolled hard at mile 27. Driver Scott Whipple and navigator Patrick Gailey were bruised but unhurt and after righting the truck and checking for damages were off again in pursuit of the leaders. At mile 127, Scott Gailey and navigator Johnny Stroschein took over pushing the truck and were gaining some time when at mile 202 all the rear left studs sheered off at 70mph forcing another delay.<br />
<br />
Despite the rollover, broken axle studs and getting stuck in a bottle neck at mile 228, the team managed to work its way through these obstacles and cross the finish line in this third race of the SCORE 2012 season...

The CANIDAE Crew had three RC Trucks running this race. This race being Scott Whipple’s first time driving an RC Truck, he had his work cut out for him. After a few heats of battling, Whipple took 2nd in the Best of the Worst heat. A great showing for his first time driving a RC Truck. As the night wrapped up the team headed back to the house to rest up for and exciting day of Time Trials in the morning.<br />
<br />
Whipple was 80th off the line of 89 qualifiers, 34 being Trick Trucks while 55 were Class 1500’s. After the practice lap and 79 others tearing up the track it was Whipple’s time to go battle on the rutted, wooped out, silty course. He qualified 44th overall and 19th in the Trick Truck class with a time of 5:54.124 and averaging a speed of 50.83mph.<br />
<br />
The following morning Whipple headed to Dome Valley to qualify in the 3rd Annual Dome Valley Top Fuel Shootout. Whipple and the <a href="http://www.canidaeracing.com/sand-drag-racing-tf-news.php">CANIDAE Top Fuel Sand Drag Team</a> are the world record holders. The <a href="http://www.canidaeracing.com/canidae-trophy-truck.php">CANIDAE Trick Truck crew</a> stayed to tech the Trick Truck.<br />

With over 60 years in the sport, Jim Dunn is one of the original pioneers of NHRA Drag Racing. He began his career as a competitor in 1950 when the popularity of the sport was starting to take hold on local strips throughout Southern California. Over the years, the acclaimed driver/crew chief/team owner has accumulated numerous wins and performance records. He won in AA/A, AA/FA, front-engine Top Fuel dragsters, and Funny Cars. In 2011, he was named number 27 on the NHRA's all time top 50 driver's list.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://tapitbrewing.com/">Tap It Brewing</a> Co., located on California's central coast, is the maker of fine handcrafted ales artfully brewed in a variety of flavors from bold and intense to cool and refreshing. "The shift in American beer tastes continues to head more and more toward micro and handcrafted beers," according to Tap It sales manager Robert Garcia. "Our teaming up with Jim Dunn Racing is the perfect opportunity for us to expose the Tap It Brewing name to millions of NHRA fans and distributors around the country and we're excited to be on board," added Garcia.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p><a href="http://www.canidae.com/company/storelocator.html">Find CANIDAE Retailers Near You!</a></p></div>CANIDAE Racinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02973977014573159325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291235735256614474.post-25989310417721359572012-01-31T10:00:00.000-08:002012-01-31T10:00:01.484-08:00Double Duty for Canidae Racing – Team Set to Fire Up Trophy Truck and Top Fuel Sand Dragster Over Action Packed Weekend<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

At the end of the Vegas to Reno race, CANIDAE Racing driver Scott Whipple said, "What an awesome day. We have the best crew who worked together as a team flawlessly."

The <a href="http://www.canidae.com/">CANIDAE Pet Foods</a> Off Road Racing team will be one of the inaugural competitors at the first Robby Gordon SPEED Energy Desert Challenge race held this September 29 through October 2 at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah.<br />
<br />
In their previous race at Vegas to Reno this year, the CANIDAE Team drove hard and powered through the rugged terrain to achieve a strong 5th in their class, only 21 seconds off 4th place, and only 7 minutes shy of a podium finish. At the end of the Vegas to Reno race, CANIDAE Racing driver Scott Whipple said, "What an awesome day. We have the best crew who worked together as a team flawlessly." Whipple's comment capped off one of the best performances the team has turned in since entering the Trophy Truck class.<br />

The event was blogged live at the team's website and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/CANIDAE-Racing/135713048852">Facebook fan page</a> and attracted more visits and comments then any other race in the team's history. "Reports and pictures kept coming in from CANIDAE as we watched the live tracking at Best in the Desert. We saw them making their way forward through the pack, doing better and better as the race went on. They even lost a cylinder part way through and just kept right on making great time and passing other teams. It was exciting and we're all really happy for the crew," said Marlon Coffman, long time supporter... [<a href="http://www.canidaeracing.com/canidae-trophy-truck.php">read more</a>]<br />

When the <a href="http://www.canidae.com/">CANIDAE Pet Foods</a> Off Road team decided to compete in the Trophy Truck class, they built their tough-as-nails truck with one track in mind... Baja! The Tecate SCORE Baja 500 is a magical place where legends are made and hearts are broken, along with expensive machinery.<br />
<br />
The 43rd Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500, the second-oldest desert race in the world, will take Team CANIDAE over 500 miles of the roughest terrain that Baja has to offer this coming June 4th. Starting in Ensenada, Mexico the course will run through scenic country then down to the Valley de Trinidad where temperatures can reach 115 degrees. Things begin to cool down as they head toward the Pacific Ocean and then back to Ensenada. Team CANIDAE will have to battle more than 40 other Trophy Trucks as well as Mother Nature and Baja itself.<br />

The <a href="http://www.canidaeracing.com/canidae-trophy-truck.php">CANIDAE Racing Team</a> is ready to take on the Best in the Desert Bilek Racing Silver State "300" in Nevada, having re-built their 800 HP 454 CI Dougan powered Trophy Truck after last month's <a href="http://www.canidaeracing.com/canidae-trophy-truck.php#20110328">Mint 400 race</a>.<br />
<br />
The CANIDAE Racing Team was near the front of the pack for the Mint 400 race near Las Vegas in March. Unofficial reports showed the CANIDAE team in 5th place at the end of lap one of this grueling four lap race. However, the team suffered a setback during lap two when driver Scott Whipple and co-driver Johnny Stroschein pushed the truck a little too hard and got bit on the famous qualifying jump and rolled the truck several times. Although attempts were made to repair the truck, getting it back on the course unfortunately wasn’t possible.<br />
<br />
Now ready to take on the famous BitD Silver State "300", Team CANIDAE is prepared to battle with hundreds of competitors in their attempt to reach the podium. The race is comprised of one 300 mile loop and has some of the most scenic country racers may ever see all in the great high desert of Eastern Nevada.<br />
<br />
The course will have a mixture of high-desert mountains, sand-washes, and panoramic views that will make racers want to stop their race vehicle and just take it all in. Teams will race through the Pahroc Summit area where they will see unbelievable rock formations, the Dalamar Valley, where the ghost town of Dalamar was located and where gold was discovered in 1890, the Cathedral Gorge area and much more.<br />
<br />
Race headquarters will be in the exciting city of Las Vegas, at the Aliante Station Hotel & Casino, close to US-95 and I-15. Registration, Tech Inspection and Contingency will be held on Friday, April 29, and the race will take place on Saturday, April 30. The start line is in Alamo and the finish line will be south of the Alamo area.<br />

The CANIDAE Racing Team, in their newly redesigned 2011 Trophy Truck, is ready to take on the famous SNORE Mint 400 this March 26th in Nevada. Known as the "Great American Desert Race" the Mint was created in 1968 and instantly became one of the most famous off-road races in history.<br />
<br />
Last year at the Mint was the team’s best performance of the season with a Trick Truck 7th place finish. The team is looking forward to trying to better last year’s awesome finish.<br />
<br />
Through the efforts of the seasoned CANIDAE crew, the team's 800 HP 454 CI Dougan powered Trophy Truck is in "mint" condition, ready to take on this historic event. Coming off a hard-fought finish in the Parker 425 Best in the Desert race in Arizona last month, this team is eager to surpass last year's excellent performance.<br />

<a href="http://www.canidaeracing.com/">CANIDAE Racing</a> will begin the 2011 Best in the Desert racing series at the season kick off, the famed Parker 425. Held on the banks of the beautiful Colorado River in Parker, Arizona, this race is always extremely popular with competitors and spectators alike. This year will produce record entries of more than 30 teams in the elite Trick Truck (aka Trophy Truck) class and almost 300 other cars and trucks in 20 different classes.<br />
<br />
After the racers qualify for starting positions on a special 7 mile track on Thursday, February 3rd, the race will begin on Saturday morning and consist of three 142-mile laps in the brutal Arizona desert. At the end of each lap, the contestants will race through the “Parker Python,” an 8 mile course littered with jumps and bumps which will also be the main pit section. The CANIDAE Racing team returns this year after being close to a top 3 finish last year, only to have fatal motor issues on the last lap. To ensure the team does not have the same issues this year, CANIDAE Racing has installed an 800 HP 454 CI Dougan small block Chevy.<br />

Marlon Coffman was the winning bidder in an auction to benefit Justin Imhof who's recovering from injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash during the 2010 Baja 1000. The winner got to ride shotgun alongside <a href="http://www.canidaeracing.com/">Team CANIDAE racing</a> driver Scott Whipple during the 2011 Laughlin Leap. Thousands of dollars were raised for the ImHof family, and everyone (especially Marlon!) had a great time.<br />

Armed with their new custom built 800 HP 454 CI Dougan small block Chevy powerplant, the <a href="http://www.canidaeracing.com/">CANIDAE Racing</a> team is ready to take on their first offroad race of the 2011 season, the 17th annual SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge race in Laughlin, Nevada on January 14, 2011.<br />
<br />
This unique, spectator friendly event promises to thrill fans not only during the race, but also at the famous Laughlin Leap beforehand. This year CANIDAE Racing will have a special passenger inside the race truck for this pre-race jump competition. CANIDAE Racing auctioned off the navigator's seat to the highest bidder with all proceeds to benefit injured Baja 1000 motocross rider Justin ImHof and his family.<br />
<br />
The charity auction was held January 8th at Oakley Headquarters in Foothill Ranch, California. In addition to the seat aboard the 800 HP CANIDAE Trophy Truck for the exciting Laughlin Leap, many generous companies and individuals donated other highly coveted items to the auction raising thousands of dollars for the injured rider and his family. Marlon Coffman of Abilene, Texas was the highest bidder for the CANIDAE Trophy Truck's navigator seat.<br />
<br />
When racing begins on Saturday after the Laughlin Leap, fans will enjoy the two mile long infield section of a desert race course dense with jumps and turns. There will be grandstand seating and a large video projection in the middle of it all so race fans won’t miss a second of the action.<br />
<br />
With a highly successful rookie season behind them in this ultra competitive class, drivers Scott Whipple and Scott Gailey are determined to turn their experience and new racing technology into podium finishes. "Having a year under our belt, and awesome Dougan HP and reliability going forward, we feel we can be get on the podium during the 2011 season," said co-driver Whipple...

<a href="http://www.canidaeracing.com/">CANIDAE Racing</a> will begin its second competitive season in the trophy truck class at the 17th annual SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge race in Laughlin, Nevada on January 14, 2011. After a year spent testing their capabilities under competition conditions at eight events during the 2010 racing season, co-drivers Scott Whipple and Scott Gailey are determined to turn their experience and new racing technology into podium finishes.<br />

"We are very proud of our team's accomplishments during 2010, our first year of racing in the Trophy Truck class.
