Scott
Taylor Gets on Podium Twice on Saturday!!
June 9, 2007 (Chula Vista, CA) – After a solid qualifying run, Scott
Taylor was looking to land on the podium at his first CORR race of the
year. The brand new Russ Wernimont designed race truck, has had early
success in the WSORR series, now the team was looking to do the same in
Championship Off-Road Racing.
Saturday morning, Scott was running well in practice when he slowly rolled
the truck going through Turn 4. Fortunately the truck only suffered minor
cosmetic damage. The crew was confident the #8 Skyjacker BFGoodrich Tires
Ford F-150 would be ready.
PRO-2 Baldwin Cup Qualifier – Round 3
The starting lineup saw CORR officials invert the top four qualifiers.
This put Scott Taylor on the outside of the front row. The rolling start
saw Scott put the Roush horsepower to the BFGoodrich Tires and grabbed the
lead going into Turn One. Quickly, the top 5 trucks from qualifying would
be locked into a race long battle. In the end, Scott landed a hard fought
third place finish.
“Our race went pretty well, we need to work on our suspension setup,”
states Scott Taylor. “Overall, our new truck is really working well. I had
one problem the last three laps. The steering column loosened up, and
would move up and down. It was interesting, but we came home on the
podium.” Official Results: 1st – Carl Renezeder, 2nd- Ricky Johnson,
3rd-Scott Taylor.
Now Taylor Racing had only a few hours to get ready, for Round 5 of the
CORR PRO-2 Championship.
CORR PRO-2 Round 5
Again CORR lined up the field the same way as the Qualifier round. The
start saw Scott miss a shirt, allowing Vandenhuvel, Johnson, and
MacCachern to get by heading into Turn One. Once again the same five
drivers, as in the Cup Qualifier, battled for position. Again at the flag,
Scott battle his way to a third place finish. Official Results: 1st – Rob
MacCachern, 2nd-Ricky Johnson, 3rd-Scott Taylor.
Afterwards Scott commented, “We still have some work on the suspension,
especially the front shocks. Tonight Russ and I will change a few things,
and we’ll get this bad boy really going. Everything else on the truck is
working really well. Our engine and trans temperatures are perfect. It’s
really hard to get these trucks to cool properly and this new truck cools
really well.”
Sunday, the #8 Skyjacker BFGoodrich Tire Ford F-150 has one more CORR
round of racing. Scott Taylor looks to improve upon his two third place
finishes.
