Brendan Gaughan will return to his racing roots this weekend as he tackles the off-road Laughlin (NV) Desert Challenge on Saturday and Sunday. The Laughlin race will be the first of six SCORE events that Gaughan plans to compete in during the 2007 season in his bid for the off-road championship. Gaughan will start 43rd out of 46 entries on the six mile Laughlin loop in the Class 1 group. He will be competing in a Kreger Fab buggy, which has competed in only one race (Best In the Desert), where Gaughan qualified second. The buggy is powered by a small block Chevy motor built by Kroyer Racing Engines.(South Point Racing PR)(1-18-2007)
UPDATE: Results: A broken transmission relegated Brendan Gaughan and co-pilot Billy Holbrook to an early exit from the Class 1 race at the Laughlin Desert Challenge on both Saturday and Sunday. Despite the mechanical problems, Gaughan was pleased with his Kreger Fab buggy’s performance, and hopes to have the transmission problems rectified before his next SCORE event – the San Felipe 250 on March 9-11.(South Point Racing)(1-22-2007)
