Last Sunday, I loaded up “Big Blue” (my trusty 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo) and made the 2.5 hour journey to Goertz Ranch in Rockne, TX for the Round 1 of the 2019 TORCS cross-country series. I was happy that it was finally race day b/c this was my first opportunity to get some seat time in the RZR since our last race of 2018. Also, I always look forward to racing at Goertz Ranch b/c this is my favorite TORCS track… wide and fast! Below is my race write-up.

WHERE:
Rockne, TX… it’s a tiny town about 8 miles south of Bastrop. This picturesque property has pecan groves, a few creek crossings, and a large pasture area.

TRACK CONDITIONS:
When I arrived at the track around 1pm, the weather was nice (sunny and mild temps), but the ground was soaking wet thanks to heavy rain the night before. As I pulled into a parking lot, I began to question whether I could find an open parking spot before my 2wd truck got stuck in the mud. Sure enough, I only made it 100 yards past the entrance gate before my rear tires lost all traction in the sloppy mud. With a little push from a friendly ATVer, I was quickly on my way to find a parking spot on high ground next to the track. Turns out, this little challenge getting through the mud was a sign of things to come!

I took a look at the pics and I know there's a RZR somewhere under all that mud because I can see "RZR" on the head rest. I'm sure glad I don't have to clean that up.

 

LOL... Believe it or not, it took me over 4 hours of pressure washing to clean the mud off my RZR (plus the truck and trailer from getting stuck in the parking lot). Ugh! I miss the old days when I raced ATVs... clean up time was much less.

 

Your RZR looks like the mobile dog truck in Dumb and Dumber.

Congrats on finishing, never mind first.

 

LOL Yes, it really does look like the mobile dog truck from that movie. Good one!
