Look’s like we’ll be part of Dirt Sport’s brake guide in the upcoming July issue. Always nice to be thought of, and included, in guides like this. Our approach to brake performance is a bit unconventional, the result of working so closely with what really is an unconventional vehicle, the Ultra4. The inspiration for posting this today was to show off the shot above, which we took this week for the article.

When we were contacted about this piece, it occurred to us only then that we didn’t have a single photo of our larger diameter rotors mounted to our Pro Series Hubs (or brake hats for that matter). Not one. So, here it is in all of its 14″ diameter glory. You can check out this photo, and the rest of the Pro Series Hub photo set, on Flickr.

Finally finished up our photo set from Crandon, available now on Flickr . All photos are licensed under Creative Commons, so feel free to download and share. Next up, Badlands.

With so much talk surrounding Brad Lovell and his Pro Light win, it’s worth pointing out again Brad was not the only Lovell to compete last weekend. His brother Roger, pictured above, also took the field in their Spider 9 powered Ultra4. Talent clearly runs in the family, as Roger scored a 4th & 9th place spot for the weekend.

We also had our first chance to check out Will Carter’s new Spider 9 powered Ultra4. He’s still working out a few bugs, but no doubt the new rig looked sharp. See for yourself from the shot below, taken right before Will crossed the Crandon finish line.

Erik Milller is one of our favorite Ultra4s to watch. He’s seasoned, calculated, and of course fast. Certainly one of the top guys to race Crandon last weekend, but like others short course gremlins got the best of his rig. That, plus a hard roll, and things didn’t go quite the way he and his team planned.

His performance turned heads all the same though, and Erik along with the rest of the Ultra4s showed Crandon just how capable these machines really are. The shot above is of Erik Miller, skyrocketing off Crandon’s Launch Pad. No doubt one of our favorite shots of the weekend.

Also, official Ultra4 scores just came in last night, courtesy of Ultra4Racing. Here they are:
