We did it! The Rust is Gold Racing Crew wraps up the Biltwell 100 on the road home to Albuquerque. After a grueling cold, windblown pre-race day, the guys hit the course and recount the highs and lows, lost parts, bruises and how the desert makes you dig deep and find the grit to finish this incredible desert race. Huge thanks to Biltwell for putting together a great time!

Special Thanks to: Joe 'Sykey' Chavez and Tom Antreasian
