JT Wisdom Sailor Weeks from land on a 33' sailboat? Let's do this. Come success or failure, follow my solo circumnavigation bid for photos, stories, videos and tips from the helm.

Are you not entertained?

By following the journey you'll receive exclusive access to my failures, embarrassments and mistakes.

One more race in the books and another win! We sta One more race in the books and another win! We started in front and ran clean all day aside from when I hammered the car over some cross grain that bent a rear wheel and shredded the tube. Fortunately it happened at about RM31 [of 48] on lap 2 which was conveniently located approximately 1 mile from our main pit. 

While I was in for the tire change we decided to save another stop and do the fuel + navigator change as well, so out went Cole and in came my brother. Despite the stop our lead continued to grow due to attrition in the field so I backed way out for the final lap to save the car and ourselves (though it’s debatable whether slower is better in a 9 car).

All things considered it was a great race and puts me on track for my goal this year of a championship. Beyond the class, @kavemanmotorsports's 1600 result puts team Run JMC in 2nd for the team challenge! Of course there’s still more racing ahead of us than behind us this year, but we’re sitting in a great place right now.

I'm currently writing this sitting in my RV at @willow_springs_raceway getting ready for one more weekend of racing with @raceluckydog - after which I'll have a break until the July @mojaveoffroad race at @glenhelenraceway 

Thank you to the incredible @amanda_joe who has been the most patient and tolerant partner I could have asked for. The Spring race-athon is nearly over I promise!

Many thanks to @coleeroleepolee and @wisdomracer for your help before, during and after the race. Thank you @briano_133 for letting me borrow your tire and even doing the install for me! Thank you to my crew for being there for me: my uncle Scott, grandpa Wes, @_nikk_at_night_ , @scottboyd1615 & Bryan

Thank you to the team @endosemolds and @sistersativa for everything you do. Finally to the companies which support our sport and my racing: @dfttrans @mohrprf @yokohamatire @weddleindustries @dcshockservices @fluid_flow_performance @pciraceradios @mckenzies_performance @kartek_off_road @autometerproducts @transaxleengineering @vinyldisorder

1st place finish for us this last weekend! Full re 1st place finish for us this last weekend! Full recap to come, thanks to all that made it possible!
Now that the dust has settled and there’s some t Now that the dust has settled and there’s some time and distance between me and that God forsaken pebble that ended my race in Primm, I’m ready to talk about it

On race morning I apparently fell asleep at the start line, losing the jump on both 952 and 948. I caught 952 before exiting the infield; Brian had pulled a few car lengths on us and was running the early miles of the race as fast as I would so it took until the back stretch of the course before I was able to get around him.

Brian held onto my rear bumper for lap 1 but I was able to begin putting time on him lap 2. The car was working better than it ever had with everything was falling into place for a top box finish when seemingly out of nowhere we hear a terrible whining sound from the back of the car (one I was unfamiliar with). Within seconds the sound stopped and the alternator light came on, indicating fan belt.

We came into the hot pits yelling for a new alternator belt but came to find out the mesh protection cover for the fan had come off and a rock had wedged itself in there, seizing and destroying it.

I was crushed, what an absolutely lame reason to lose the race but I had no one to blame but myself. 

@briano_133 made us all proud running it to the end and winning out the weekend. Great job buddy I look forward to the next time we go toe to toe at Glen Helen

Once home, I pulled the fan shroud off and repaired the cover in a way that should solve this particular problem once and for all. Over the last week @coleeroleepolee and I completed some important prep items to get ourselves ready for this weekends MORE Transaxle Engineering Challenge

Looking forward to some great results for the 932 as well as teammates Matt Creveling and Cole Wimmer

In other news, Scott bought a class 11!

The full in-car of my race today is on my Facebook The full in-car of my race today is on my Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/jacob.wisdom.3/videos/170371485908486/?app=fbl

Since I didn't qualify I took the start line 2nd to last of the 17 car pack and by the finish was able to work up to 2nd on the road

On corrected time I'm 42 seconds behind the 948 of @briano_133 who qualified 1st and took full advantage of the clean air today

For those who don't know, Brian is a very close part of our racing family; I've shared driving duties with him at the Baja 1000 and frequently with our BMW track cars. He was even my navigator for the second half of the San Felipe 250 that we won earlier this month. To add to that, my navigator here at this race @coleeroleepolee was my other navigator at the SF250!

We're all pitted together this weekend along with @americanrentalsinc and despite the close race with so much on the line, we put that aside to help each other as much as possible...though of course trash talk and ideas for sabotage abound 

All that aside, tomorrow morning we'll be lined up side by side and when the green flag drops it will be a mad dash for the big $5k purse SNORE has put up for us. Whoever wins it is sure to be a battle for the ages 🤙

I will attempt to livestream my in-car tomorrow so look for it around 8:30am PST

What a week at the @scoreinternational San Felipe What a week at the @scoreinternational San Felipe 250

I took an early lead but found that by around RM35 the exhaust was coming loose and had banged itself off the car entirely a few miles later. This left the engine way down on power so from then on I was flat-footed just about everywhere trying to maintain speed.

At RM185 my navigator @coleeroleepolee got out and @briano_133 hopped in. Soon after that we received word that our lead had grown to at least an hour. 

Near the end of boulder canyon (~RM220) I nosed myself into a very soft and impassible spot – I may have been able to reverse out of it, but fearing for the MD5's reverse gear and keeping in mind the lead we had I decided to pull us back using the winch we put on the car for this race, costing around 15 - 25 very frustrating minutes

Once back on the road we had miles of bashing through whoops and silt before passing it off to Scott who brought us in for the win! Ultimately we finished with a bit over a 45 minute lead

I cannot thank my uncle Scott enough for letting me be part of his race effort, winning this was a huge deal for me and it simply would not have happened without him. Thank you as well to Cole and Brian for getting us around the course penalty free! Beyond that our crew of support and the help we received from @americanrentalsinc and the crew of @iamcadegarcia

Thank you to my indescribably amazing partner @amanda_joe for supporting my crazed racing addiction

My participation in these races would not be possible without my team at @endosemolds and especially the patience and understanding from my business partner @sistersativa 

And finally thank you to all of the companies that support our sport and our team: @dfttrans @bfgoodrichtires @racelinewheels @weddleindustries @kingshocks @wiksracingengines @bajadesigns @fandlracingfuel @foddrillmotorsports @summersbrothersracing @pciraceradios 

Next up the @mojaveoffroad @transaxleengineering Challenge in class 9. And just maybe I’ll show up next weekend to the @snore_racing Battle at Primm
