Steve Austin Wins Category In Off-Road Race, Finishes 13th Overall
Steve Austin competed in his latest off-road race over the weekend, driving in the Night Vision 250 in Fallon, Nevada.
Austin, representing Broken Skull Racing, finished first in the stock mod category, beating out two other drivers. He finished 13th out of 36 overall drivers with a time of 5:46:25.
On Instagram, Austin wrote, “Some footage from the Night Vision 250 race last weekend. We qualified 8th and were running really good for almost a lap when some issues came up. We ran most of the race at a conservative pace to cross the finish line and get podium points. I was surprised we won our class. We looked at the car last night and are working on the fix for the next race in 5 weeks.
Midway thru the race a huge rock was kicked out in the middle of the course. We had just dodged a previous rock and this was a race ending situation as this was the kind of rock that would rip a complete front corner off the car. I squared up and went right over the top of it. The impact rattled the skeletons of both myself and my co driver. The front bumper and skid plate built by @teixeiratech took most of the damage and protected the car for the most part. The H2 shot up in the air, came back down, and we kept going. That could have easily taken us out of the race. But we got by, and promptly marked it as a DANGER for the next few laps. I did not want to hit that sucker again…
That Fallon, NV course is rough, rocky, slippery, and fun.
Our @bajadesigns lights were great, but we did not get to test them prior to race. Vision was a problem during the night portion of the race. We will def do our night testing for VC-Tonopah.”
