I heard the course builders go, "oh crap we made the finals course too easy!" ..
After you got done putting the rubber to it!

Awesome to get to meet Jake!
See you next year, on ur coast..

Thanks guys! I was lucky to be in the shootout at all. M_energy put on a charge in the afternoon and just came up short.

And thanks again to Stefan for the video It was great to meet you. Hopefully we will see you guys here again next year.

New wheels and a fresh set of Gold Voodoo's



It'll get a few geometry tweaks and a fresh rebuild on the shocks too. I have some bigger changes I would like to try with the lower link placing for more clearance, but that will have to wait until after Worlds

It sure is. I've been running a skinny version of the Double Agent for a little while. The next batch of them will be narrower with stiffer bracing inside the chassis.

Congratulations for yet another podium in the Worlds Jake.

Darn I would like to see you winning that some year. What would the party be like?!

Would like to see you and Jess in Europe some day soon.

Thanks!

I still haven't settled on a combo that I really like for the narrower tires. I'm running a short course inner with a soft CI outer right now.

I'll have some nice World's updates ready to post soon too

Default Del Monte's Double Agent

Congrats Jake for the 3th at worlds! Always great performance at finals! It seem's you need the stress to show how good you'r really are!

I did have some issue to upload your final run, but now it's done(10hours). Only 4 of the 10 best drivers could finish the first part of the final run. Sorry for no intro, but i think everybody knows it's Mr. Y-TOWN on P1 wheels, also called Jake Wright!

115/46 degree...


Good to got the chance to meet you and Chess one time more! Don't forget to think about the european vacation trip including a little bit comping...

Thanks for the great video Stephan! I hope you are still enjoying your wheels

Updates are lagging behind a little bit. Who would have thought that running a business, working a full time job, and teaching a few days a week would be time consuming This truck will have some much needed improvements in time for the BLC season opener on Oct. 24th.
