Holley Ford Fest Off Road Course with Vaughn Gittin Jr. - RTR

[vrtical]

This weekend was a return to Holley Ford Fest in Bowling Green KY at Beach Bend Raceway Park. This was the second time we have ran the bronco raptor since 2023 as last year was washed out by Hurricane Helene. Vaughn went out on track to do some event media coverage then it opened up so I went out and caught up to him for a couple laps then he reset and then started to chase me, we did two or three laps then I let him pass by as its more fun watching him and the lines he takes.

Here are two short reel clips of the time on track taken by some friends on the sidelines. I have a ton of on board video from two days of running that I am still processing so I will have more to share.

Doing full send out of those curves! That looked to be a blast! Thanks for the vids.

They took the large jump out this year, but there were still a couple sections that provided some fun. I do still need front limiters, they are on my list specially with the added weight of the winch. I ran mostly in sport shock mode to try to keep the front end from slamming soo much.

So cool to drive aggressively with one of the best!

Very cool! What kind of speed are we talking about on the short straights?

Right before this last pic I was doing about 44 over a ridge. There were some other straights I was closer to 60. There were really only two curves I could carry speed into the others all had some large bumps.

Me and you need to take a trip to the flats at windrock. I hit 72 over a straight section out there.

Dash cam from running on track with Vaughn. It's about 4 min video to give you an idea of the track layout. Looks like my camera mount moved a bit.

That's cool, I think I would have caught him in my 1982.5 ranger!

Looks like Vaughn wasn't in a raptor. Still looked really fast.. he's an awesome driver.

He was running his drone so I was staying a bit back from that and the dust kickup.

He is in his everyday Funhaver Bronco that he drives for most events, plus it probably fits in the semi easier.
