Ryan Hagy and for the first time in a truck, Jimmy Fitzpatrick went head to head against competitors this weekend in the Super Lite class. Hagy in his Ox, Team GT/ Super Lite truck started off the race moving into fifth place on Saturday. Fitzpatrick was pushing his way threw the pack and gaining lots of speed as his throttle got jammed, taking him out of the race completely. Hagy finished up in 6th place!

Sunday both Hagy and Fitz held great positions on the track battling with each other for a few laps in the 5th and 6th positions until Fitzpatrick got held-up in turn five with a overturned truck.

The Lucas Oil Offroad Racing Series came to Glen Helen Raceway as the Metal Mulisha geared up and hit the track for thousands of fans at this live nighttime event. Hailie “Dirt Princess” Deegan kicked off the race schedule for the Metal Mulisha in her Junior 2 Kart. Saturday’s race Hailie started in the front of the pack taking the inside line, moving her way up front. She set a strong pace and jumped a good lead on the middle pack and finished third!

Sunday the “Dirt Princess” was more than ready to put Mulisha on the podium. As soon as the flag waved green, she held her position waiting for the perfect moment to move into second. Hailie was now closing in on the leader trying to take the first place position, having a full on battle in the dirt.

The “Dirt Princess” finished off her Sunday race with a solid second place finish to the podium. Congrats to Hailie and her great work, laying down another trophy for the Mulisha.

Justin “Bean” Smith hit the dirt in his Unlimited Buggy on Saturday night ready to smoke all the competitors on the track. Bean was running a solid race shooting from the third position, making his way up front.

The top four drivers were now running nose to tail in their buggy’s all fighting for the lead into turn three and four. Right as the white flagged was waived with only one more lap, Whelchel, Bean, and Fortin piled up in turn four! Bean lost several spots before even getting untangled out of the carnage. Sunday’s race was on! Bean was pissed off, ready to battle and not let anyone in his way.

Right into the start of the race, Bean was flying by drivers gunning for the lead, and skipping over the rhythm section out on the track. Whelchel was in the lead and lost a right rear wheel on the second lap, giving Bean a huge lead and leaving everyone else behind him the whole race all the way to the finish line for a first place finish! Congrats Bean! Way to lay it down for the Mulisha!

Brian Deegan & Cameron Steele took it to the track, both gunning for a shot at the podium Saturday night in the Pro Lite class. The lead started with Sisler, Brian Deegan, Ryan Beat and Cameron Steele. Beat’s truck had some mechanical issues dropping him out of the top five, and moving Steele to third as Deegan was fighting for the first place position. It didn’t take Deegan long to find the perfect line pushing a huge lead into first. Steele was also on the move, picking off Sisler and moved into second position.

At this point the race was sick, both Mulisha drivers gunning down the track at Glen Helen with the fans going nuts. Steele was going in on a corner and Ampudia made contact pushing, Steele several spots behind. Cameron caught up quick back into forth with Ampudia drawing a black flag for his part in the corner contact. In the end, Deegan finished first place and Cameron finished off in forth. Sunday’s race both Deegan and Steele where ready to earn a shot at the podium. Cameron Steele had the led, with Deegan trailing behind.

Deegan had some mechanical issues after the restart, leaving the running order of Steele to finish off Sundays race in first place! This is something that was so meaningful to Cameron after losing his close friend and Mulisha family member Jeff “Ox” Kargola. Congratulations, Cameron we are all so pumped for you!

Ryan Hagy stepped it up in the Super Lite’s over this weekend with only his second race weekend under his belt. Hagy in the #0X General Tire / Metal Mulisha truck was ready to take it to the dirt and make his move to the podium. Saturday held a 17-truck pack moving across the finish line to the start the race while Hagy held a nice position outside of the middle pack. With the carnage and battle of the Super Lite trucks Hagy pushed his way past the middle pack and held a nice position up front.

The running order was Dawson Kirchner, Kimbrell, George, Clark, and Ryan Hagy. On the restart lap, Duncombe then rolled in turn two, just ahead of the competition yellow, where the running order was Dawson Kirchner, Clark, Person, Dietrich and Hagy in the top five. These guys all held position on the restart, but a couple of laps later, Hagy was up to fourth after getting by Dietrich. On the last lap, George moved past both Dietrich and Hagy to grab fourth spot pushing Hagy into six place.

Sunday Hagy was at it again running a solid race keeping right in front of the middle pack moving his way up into the front. Hagy keep his speed fighting for the inside corner and rolled his truck pushing him back into the middle of the pack. With only two race weekends under his belt, Ryan has nothing but more that fire power to get back behind the wheel at the next race and put Mulisha on top of the podium for the Super Lite class.

The final race of the night was the Pro 2 Unlimited trucks. Saturdays race Deegan started in the six position and gunned it past the whole pack taking a clean pass into first place. Three laps later, is was Deegan starting to pull away with a nice lead while Woods being the only driver who could hang with the Generals pace.

Deegan seemed to have control of the race, but as the field approached the halfway point, Woods suddenly drove and dove deep into turn five shoving Deegan on the inside, and stealing the lead. Deegan finished the race with a third place podium finish. Sunday Deegan was hard charging for the lead! The order was Ampudia, Deegan, MacCachren, Woods, and Renezeder in the top five. On the restart lap, MacCachren got by Deegan for second going into and out of turn three.

On the restart lap, Deegan, who’d looked like he had a steering issue while rolling around under yellow, now grabbed the lead after muscling by Ampudia through turns three and four. On the final lap Deegan was flying, and held his position with no room for error. The General throttled pass the finish line and got the big win, his first in the Pro 2 class! Congrats Deegan, you put up one hell of a fight and definitely earned your solid first place podium finish!

Deegan recently came off taking 3rd at the Global Rallycross Championship last week and is ready to suit up and race Pro Lite with good friend, and Mulisha family member, Cameron Steele. Deegan will also be getting behind the wheel in his 900HP Pro 2 Unlimited #38 Rockstar/Makita Ford this weekend.

Along with Deegan, his daughter Hailie Deegan will be roosting some dirt in her Mulisha Kart with Brook Kawell as they smoke all the boys in their class this weekend. Justin “Bean” Smith will be right out front this weekend in his Unlimited Buggy, and Ryan Hagy for the first time ever, will be burning laps on the track in the “OX” SuperLite truck.

The “Ox” SuperLite truck is a part of the race team that was been started by General Tire & Metal Mulisha to honor the memory of our good friend and Mulisha family member Jeff “Ox” Kargola. Kargola was establishing a promising racing career in the LOORRS series until his tragic accident in Baja April 29, 2011. In the spirit of Kargola’s passion for racing, the “Ox” brand truck will race in his memory with close friend Ryan “Fluffer” Hagy in the passenger’s seat.

“Driving the “Ox” truck is such an amazing opportunity for me to celebrate his life and continue his passion for this sport,” said Hagy. “I have been testing the truck at Glen Helen and I am focused on giving this race my all, just like Jeff always did.”

The “Ox” truck will be a sister truck to Kargola’s SuperLite race truck. The design of the truck is inspired by Kargola’s new 2011 design. Kargola’s sponsors, General Tire, Metal Mulisha, Boost Mobile and Method Wheels, will be sponsoring Hagy’s “Ox” race truck for the Miller Motorsports Race. The doors and hood of the race truck will display the Jeff “Ox” Kargola logo that is featured on the Metal Mulisha Jeff “Ox” Kargola Memorial fund shirts, sold at www.metalmulisha.com/ox with all proceeds going to help support the San Felipe Hospital in Mexico. Kargola’s race truck will be on display at the General Tire booth at the LOORRS races this season.

“Jeff had such an amazing attitude and passion for life. The “Ox” truck should inspire us all to live life to the fullest and make every day count,” said Dana Zamalloa, Marketing, PR and Communications Manager, General Tire. “We developed this program as a way for him to still inspire people and keep “Ox” racing.”

The Monster Energy Rip to the Tip presented by General Tires takes on Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, with 30 riders looking to try and attain the ultimate goal of the “Full Pull.” The Full Pull requires riders to achieve every mile of the plotted trail, as led by Rip founder Cameron Steele, who is a second generation Baja racer and winner of the Baja 1000. From sand washes, beaches, mountains and cactus filled single track, the bikes and their riders will have to battle all of the elements to ride into Cabo San Lucas and realize their goal of “ripping” to Lands End.

Cameron Steele, Jeff Kargola, Ryan Hagy & Trigger Gumm will be facing 8 grueling days, 1376 miles, in projected temperatures and conditions, ranging from 35 degrees and snow to potential 100+ degree days in the middle of the Baja Peninsula throughout the ride. Riders will start some days waking up at 4am, getting on the bikes before sunrise and then finish other days as late as 2am. Sleep deprivation and the constant grind over 8 days can really take its toll on the group.

Day 1: The riders have made it to the fuel/dinner stop at Valle Trinidad. Everyone is okay but today’s first portion of the ride wasn’t without it’s hardships. Three riders weren’t able to make it up ‘The Summit’ due to exhaustion and dehydration. Among the three riders were two Honda executives brought on the ride with Johnny Campbell and Pat Dailey. All three bikes were loaded onto the Honda buggy and riders strapped in for the remainder of today’s ride. One of the Honda executives was so dehydrated that our crew had to start an I.V., he is okay now and resting at the dinner stop in Valle Trinidad. This goes to show you the true beating Baja can throw your way, harsh trails and extreme heat are a battle tough for anyone to overcome. Riders still aren’t done for the night as they have more miles to log in before they can call it a night for Day 1 of the 2011 Rip to the Tip. Both Pat Dailey and Honda executives have decided to put their bikes on the trailer for the remainder of today’s ride. Their bikes will be trailered to the next destination where riders will rejoin tomorrow for Day 2.
