Taylor Racing - CORR Pomona Season Opener Report
Belvidere, IL (April 29, 2008) - Scott Taylor and his #8 Skyjacker
Suspensions BFGoodrich Tires Ford F-150 went to Pomona to begin his
quest to regain the CORR PRO-2 title. His competition was i ntense
as twenty three of the world’s best PRO-2 qualified for the weekend of
racing.
The man made track at The Fairplex in Pomona, CA was .74 mile long and
consisted of jumps, whoops, banked corners, a large table top, and a
fairly long section of asphalt. The transition from dirt to pavement
and back to dirt really gave the tire manufacturers fits. The
BFGoodrich tires really seemed to work well considering the extreme
surface conditions.
Saturday – Round One
Practice went as planned. The truck needed a bit more rebound in the
rear, so the team quickly made the change and sent the Skyjacker Ford
out for qualifying. Scott Taylor brought the #8 home seventh quickest
in the twenty three truck field.
The race itself was in one word, fast. The fifteen lap affair did not
have a single caution, other than the mandatory yellow. The racing was
door to door, with minimal contact. -

Taylor Seeks Seventh CORR PRO-2 Title
Belvidere, IL – (April 23, 2008) - Scott Taylor and his #8 Skyjacker
Suspensions BFGoodrich Tires Ford F-150 are back racing the CORR
series, full-time, looking to take back the championship. From 1998 to
2005 Scott Taylor was the one driver everyone measured themselves
against. During that seven year period, Taylor Racing won the
championship six times and was runner up once, feat that may never be
seen again in off-road racing.

- “For
most of my career I was the hunted,” commented Scott Taylor. “After
winning the WSORR championship last year, we ran the last few CORR
rounds in Dallas and Vegas. We had some mechanical issues, but we
ran up front every time. Now, everyone on the internet is picking a
West Coast guy to win PRO-2 this weekend. I guess I’m flying under
the radar now. With this brand new truck under me, I think we are
going to surprise some of the fans this weekend.”
