I was part of the pit crew for Larry Wilcox / Dale Sextons Class 8 team and was there for that Fronteer 500 race which started in Jean Nevada , And larry was right , the truck got bogged down in the silt so bad the truck timed out and never made it out of that area . Its 2026 and I’m retired from the Ford dealership that I worked at [ Mission Ford , Riverside CA. etc, etc. ] and am proud to have been part of those race’s . Larry was / is a super nise guy and I had been in touch with him and Dale up until a few years ago . I went on to build my own 1978 Bronco and race in VORRA / BITD/ SCORE from 2001-2008 . best time of my life . Eldon Coats Paulden , Arizona
