NORCAL Rock Racing
Team Outcast
Rock Racing’s
51Fifty Sponsored
1977 Car, owned
and driven by
Brendon Thompson finished well
after a slow start
to the begining
the weekend.
The engine had
to be pulled and
repaired because
of a failed piston
in one cyclinder
from the last race.
With the help of
Crew Chief, scott
Melville, and
Brother in Law
and Co-Driver
for this race, Colten Gould, got together, pulled the engine and Brendon made the needed repairs. They got together
and re-installed the engine and there was no time for a shake down test because Brendon had to catch the “red eye”
to NY. Most know and some don’t, Brendon is a motorcycle fabricator, working and shaping the metal as his specialty,
and works with Paul Jr. of that TV motorcycle. He was called upon for another motorcycle build and when I asked him “
when are you going to test out your
handywork?” his reply “ It started, I’m
on my way to New York right now, I’ll
break it in at the race on the 17 th” .
I had Cameo Thompson give us the
race from her vantage point. This is a
Family that races together, Dad, Mom,
and the kids.
An awesome day for racing at Nor
Cal rock racing event May 17th. Brendon Thompson in the 51 fifty energy
drink car along with co-pilot (and
brother in law) Colten Gould were in
first place for the first heat for the first
few laps, but got a flat tire and had to
exit to change it in the pits. Though
it was a quick change, there was too
much ground to make up and did
not qualify for the main. In between
heats the crew was able to get the
car in running order and back out on
the track. In the second heat Brendon
came in second and qualified for the
main.
