Our Cybertruck suffered a major suspension failure when a spindle bolt in our 2.5-inch lift kit snapped, causing the upper control arm to strike and destroy the air suspension and wiring. Somehow, AJ and Chewy managed to hold it together with ratchet straps and zip ties long enough to limp the truck back to pit 3. Although that shortcut meant the truck was disqualified, the race was far from over for us. In the pits, something bigger happened. People from across the off-road community, including teams we had never met before, stepped in without hesitation. They brought tools, experience, a welder, and most importantly, support when we needed it most. After hours of brutal work in the desert, we repaired the damage and sent the truck back out, where it still managed to achieve a 120mph+ run across the lakebed sections of the course.
We did not come here to disrupt anything. We came here to learn, to challenge ourselves, and to do something different. This weekend reminded us that off-road racing is not just about results, it is about grit, respect, and the people who show up when things go wrong. To everyone who helped us, thank you. We will never forget it.
See you next year.
