#23 Schampa Trophy Kart driver Phil Wenzel takes the checkered flag in Anahiem
Anahiem, California- The #23 Schampa Trophy Kart driven by Phil Wenzel took the checkered flag at the Monster Jam event on Saturday January 26th. Wenzel’s day started with a 2 ½ hour long pit party and autograph signing with the monster truck drivers and other Trophy Kart kids. Wenzel said “I never got a break from the fans. I had kids and even some parents getting in my trophy kart, but I was careful so they wouldn’t scratch that big Schampa sticker on my hood.” Wenzel says he thought it was pretty cool when parents asked him to be in their pictures.
Phil Wenzel took the last draw for starting positions and ended up getting number 1. Wenzel did a pace lap and lined up on top of a huge table top jump measuring 51 feet high and 14 feet wide. When the checkered flag dropped, Wenzel’s engine bogged down and he lost 5 spots before turn 1. Jake White’s #41 Monster Energy Trophy Kart grabbed the whole shot and took the lead.. On Lap 2 Wenzel’s #23 Schampa Trophy Kart was on White’s tail. White went wide and Wenzel took the inside line passing the #41 taking the Trophy Kart win! This was Phil Wenzel’s first race working with his new crew chief and spotter, Sgt. Steve Baty. “He did pretty good for his first time as my spotter” said Wenzel. The next stop for the #23 Schampa Technical Wear Trophy Kart will be in two weeks in Pomona at the NHRA Winternationals. Look for Phil Wenzel signing autographs and taking pictures at the Mechanixwear booth.

DIXON BROS. RACING BEGIN THEIR DEFENSE OF CLASS 7100
DIXON BROS. RACING BEGIN THEIR DEFENSE OF CLASS 7100
SILVER STATE SERIES TITLE AT SEASON OPENING ‘PARKER 425’
Lompoc, CA - January 29, 2008: The Blue Water Resort & Casino ‘Parker 425’, opening
race of Best in the Desert Racing Association’s Silver State Series, is scheduled for February 1-
3 in Parker, Arizona. The ‘Parker 425’ is a unique blend of tough, technical terrain and long high
speed sections where you have to know when to drive hard and when not to. This sort of varied
landscape is very demanding on drivers, crews and vehicles alike and it’s not uncommon to see
the course littered with cars and trucks whose drivers have simply run out of luck (or talent). The
race will cover three loops over a tough 137 mile course that will finish in the shadow of the Blue
Water Resort, on the banks of the historic Colorado River.
What a difference a year makes! Dixon Bros. Racing is kicking off the 2008 season with a
bold new paint scheme on their Class 7100 Ford Ranger. The crew spent much of the past two
months, since the ‘Henderson 400’, improving and repainting the truck in preparation for the
2008 racing season. At last year’s ‘Parker 425’, the Dixon Bros. barely made it to the start line on
raceday morning with a basically stock Class 7100 Ford Ranger, three weeks in the making and
whose only testing time was in the distance from the garage to the trailer. With the 2008 Best in
the Desert ‘Parker 425’ just a few days away, the Dixons are putting the final touches on their
state of the art #7101 Ford Ranger as they prepare to defend their 2007 Class 7100 Silver State
Series points championship. After “surviving” last year’s ‘Parker 425’ with a second place finish
in class, team owner Aaron Dixon spent the next two races refining the truck and making it
competitive. The Dixon Bros. finished the 2007 season with convincing wins at the ‘Las Vegas
300, the ‘Henderson 400’ and won the Class 7100 points championship by a comfortable margin.
Most would think that after winning the class points championship, the Dixons would feel
more confident about the “Parker 425” this year. “Well, yes and no”, says Aaron Dixon. “The
truck is very competitive, so I can push it a lot harder and not have to worry so much about
breaking. At Parker, last year, I knew the truck was not 100% and I had to be cautious to survive
but, when everything is dialed in and working well, you have to force yourself to be disciplined.
A lot of these guys think they can win the race in the first 100 miles and put their foot to the floor
as soon as the green flag drops. In the early stages of the event, it’s important to just let them go
and concentrate on driving your own race. The fact is that over half of the entries aren’t going to
finish and you don’t want to be a part of that statistic”.
Aaron will drive the first and third laps with co-rider, Ed Ramirez in the navigator’s seat.
Ian Dixon, will be on hand at the main pit to take over on lap #2 with co-rider, Phil Ramirez in as
navigator. Rounding out the team, Jim Dixon (father), will be on hand to chase and help out in the
pits while Ed and Phil’s parents, Manny and Andrea Ramirez, will be on duty in the second chase
truck. Dixon Bros Racing has been a family effort since the beginning and as a team have won
three class points championships. Dixon Bros. Racing is looking forward to a good finish in
Parker and the successful defense of their Class 7100 points title in 2008.
Tough break for the #2 Schampa Trophy Truck at Laughlin Desert Challenge
Laughlin, Nevada- It was a very tough weekend for “Pistol” Pete Sohren in the #2 Schampa Trophy Truck. His team arrived at the 14th annual SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge race making last minute adjustments on the truck. Pistol qualified the truck in 6th place, however early in the first race on Saturday, he lost a belt in the first lap, once repaired Pistol tore through the track passing vehicles at will, but then mechanical problems struck again when the motor blew and a rod shot through the oil pan ending his weekend. “We were trying to go fast, and when you go fast, stuff happens” said “Pistol” Pete Sohren who was still hanging around the pits watching the races from the sidelines and broadcasting commentary for an internet radio show on Sunday.
Pistol plans to pull the blown motor, get a spare one in and go testing all before this weekend’s BITD Parker 425 in Parker, Arizona . His strategy to winning in Parker is a good qualifying time, starting up front with the fast guys and get out in front of the dust. He says with the recent rains it should be a dust-free race. “You keep your place in line and work on the victory from there” states Pistol.
After the BITD Parker 425 the #2 Schampa Trophy Truck and Pistol Pete Sohren head to San Felipe B.C. Mexico for the SCORE San Felipe 250 race. Sohren has had much success in previous years in San Felipe where in 1994, Sohren took first place in a 7S truck. In 1997 and 2001 he took first in Class 5, and in 2004 on his debut race in the Trophy Truck division, Pistol Pete Sohren took the podium in 3rd place. This is one of the teams, as well as Pete’s, favorite races and Pistol says he’s shooting for a win.

Reputed drug lord held over for trial in Mexico
Death of another confirmed
ASSOCIATED PRESS
6:52 p.m. January 29, 2008
MEXICO CITY – Reputed drug lord Alfredo Beltran Leyva was ordered to stand trial on weapons-possession and money-laundering charges, authorities said Tuesday, while forensic experts identified a man killed in a November helicopter crash as a top cartel hit man.
Beltran Leyva and three alleged accomplices were arrested Jan. 21 in the northern state of Sinaloa. He is accused of being a top financier for the Pacific drug cartel, the Attorney General's Office said in a statement.
The suspects, who were allegedly carrying firearms and almost $1 million in cash when arrested, also face organized crime charges.
In a separate statement, the office announced that the remains of a man killed on Nov. 13 when a helicopter crashed near the start of the Baja 1000 off-road race in Baja California, near the city of Ensenada, had been identified as belonging to a feared drug enforcer.
Merardo Leon Hinojosa was “one of the most dangerous hit men of the Arellano Felix” cartel, which is based in the border city of Tijuana, the office said.
Two of the four people aboard the helicopter were killed in the crash; witnesses said the craft appeared to be filming the race and may have become entangled in power lines.
