Approaching at race speed: Christmas,
desert testing, Desert Challenge

Dear friends,

Christmas is coming! The kids are getting excited, my wife thankfully has all the preparations under control. And me? I hardly poke my head out of the office these days. I’m busy looking after my existing racing partners and sponsors and I’m finding new ones. Therein is the first news: All my long-standing and proven partnerships will continue in 2012. And new ones are coming up, I’ll tell you more in the next newsletter. Looking back over the past year and our future let me say this: It’s been a joy. We work excellently together. It’s great to trust and to be trusted. I want to express my thanks and I promise to keep our foot on the throttle.

The AGM Team wishes Marry Christmas

After the successful premiere of our AGM-Jimco X6 SCORE Trophy Truck at the Baja 1000, All German Motorsports at Escondido/California have continued working on our new racer. When it came to tyre wear and fuel consumption we were extremely good in the Baja with our lightweight vehicle. The power and the handling were a revelation. But we don’t want to be too optimistic, because at the first race we took things really easy on the throttle. We wanted to utilise those testing miles under race conditions, and we wanted to get the chequered flag. And this we achieved.

Armin, Sal & Martin

The reason for the gearbox noises in the race was found quickly by our Partner Fortin. We could not drive enough Miles on the new developed Gearbox, and it was simply a question of the oil volume. It’s now sorted. Early January we’ll go testing for two days in Mexico. We’ll concentrate totally on the suspension, which was too soft in the race.  On 12 January we’ll present our Trophy Truck to the media in the U.S. And from 13^th to 15^th January it’s all go for the SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge in Nevada.

Partner thanks to you, your are the best

Dear friends, this newsletter wouldn’t be complete without a HUGE thank you to the fabulous All German Motorsports Team at Escondido! And I would like to thank my driver colleagues for 2011: Armin Kremer for sharing the cockpit with me. Pete Sohren, giving me a chance to team up with him and his Trophy Truck. And big thanks to Martin Christensen, my friend, driver colleague and team boss. Special thanks to my long term Co- Driver and Friend Bryan Little who put´s all time 110% into our racing inside and outside the Car. Thanks to our exceptionally competent technology partners. And THANK YOU to our fans, without motorsport simply wouldn’t exist.

With action into 2012

I would not like to forget to thank our uncounted friends, helper and Partner, the ones who pull behind the scene all efforts together. This is what it takes to be a Team, this has function to be in a harmony and get success. Thanks to all of you.

Also here a special thanks to Sal Fish our best friend, who came to German to guide us into our new SCORE Trophy Truck. Thanks to all SCORE Member, Marschall´s, Racer and Land owners who let us race on their land. It is nice to do things with your family and this Sal Fish is giving all of us.

The AGM – Jimco X6 SCORE Trophy Truck is ready

Our technology partner Mike Meziere fulfilled my wish to let us peer into his enterprise and share a little bit of his philosophy. Mike loves understatement. Meziere Enterprises not only provide us with numerous high-tech low weight components which put us in the position to build our possibly trend-setting Trophy Truck. Mike comes to the races not only to watch (as he writes below). At our pit stops he is a key figure when it comes to solving technical problems at race speed.

Well, all that’s left for me to say now is:

Merry Christmas everyone and happy new year 2012!

Armin
