Canidae Racing Looks to Take on Las Vegas Terrible's Primm 300

After a rough and tumble Vegas to Reno race only two short weeks ago, the Canidae Off Road Race Team has had their work cut out for them as the start of the Primm 300 draws near.

The truck needed major repairs after the last event and the Canidae crew, with expert assistance from Geiser Bros. Design and Development, has been working around the clock to make it to the start line of this prestigious event. Sitting 17th place in the 2010 SCORE Championship (out of 46) with two races left, the team needs all the points they can get to keep the battle close. Just making it to the race will be a major victory for the team, but waiting for them is 300 miles of relentless Nevada terrain that will surely separate the men from the boys. If any team is up to the task, it is the Canidae Racing Team.

Team Canidae Racing would like to acknowledge and thank Geiser Brothers for dropping everything they were doing and helping Team Canidae get the race truck well prepared for Primm in only four days.

The race starts at 1:00 PM on September 11, 2010 and fans can follow the team's progress in real time by visiting the Canidae Racing and Ion Earth websites. (read more)

Team CANIDAE Revs Up for Baja 500

The 2009 Baja 500 started for Team CANIDAE the day we returned from the Baja 250. Countless hours of preparation, course mapping, mileage tracking, acquiring a few new chase truck and support vehicles, the list goes on. Not to mention repairs, changes, and testing to be done on the race car. Or fixing both pre-runners after the 250. Our preparation for this grueling 500 mile race is still going on as I type this from the office at home. The team of 22 men left our home base at 4am on Wednesday to make the trek to Ensenada to hopefully get two solid days of pre-running in before the race. Multiple pits are scheduled throughout the course with our crew carrying food, fuel and direction to keep everyone focused on the task at hand. The Gang hopes to each run their respective halves Wednesday and Thursday so they can get a good feel of the course and any potential “booby traps” that the locals may have set up. That is where the major carnage comes in. We are currently 3rd in points in our 1st year running the Score Series and although winning class in Baja is always the goal, finishing is the #1 challenge. We are confident that we have the preparedness, drive and the will to get the job done. Not to mention a kick-ass race car and two of the best drivers I have ever had the opportunity to ride with. Scott Whipple and Pat Gailey will run the first half of the race with Scott Gailey and Johnny Stroschein bringing it home! Keep your eyes on race-dezert.com for updates and photos to come. Be careful out there boys, and I wish I was with ya!!!! GO TEAM CANIDAE!!!!!!!
