“We fought it all day,” said Miller. “We had fuel issues at the start of the second lap. The car kept cutting off in the desert around the corners. Coming down the first ledge into Back Door the car stalled right on it’s nose, so Scotty had to jump out and push the thing down. I got it re-fired and got going again. We’re going to look at doing a turbo next year because they just dominate in the desert. Just finishing this race is a feat in itself.”

“The major rock sections weren’t too bad, but the Back Door section was tough,” said Weller of the drop off section that played havoc during the race. “We rolled it on the first time through and we managed to not roll it on the second lap. It was a brutal race. Yamaha stepped up and gave us $5,000. I look forward to this. We race all year long, but this race is something I always set my sights on.”
