The Las Vegas Motor Speedway roared to life this past weekend as the SCCA National Time Trials took center stage, showcasing a thrilling display of speed, skill, and determination. Among the contenders were Morgan "Smoko" Lee and Doug Rowse, both taking on the challenge in the Smoko Motrosports 2020 Chevy Camaro 1SS 1LE, marking their debut in the time trial arena.

In a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence, the Camaro boasted a stock setup, with the exception of a Nine Lives Racing Wing graciously provided by Dave Schotz. However, it was the addition of the first set of Bridgestone RE71-RS 305 tires in the nation on the rear that truly set the stage for a gripping performance, offering unparalleled grip and paving the way for remarkable results.

As the competition unfolded, Doug Rowse demonstrated his prowess behind the wheel, impropving in each and every session he was able to clinch an impressive 4th place finish in the fiercely contested Max 2 Class. Not to be outdone, Morgan Lee showcased his skills, took advise from his coaching mentors Doug Rowse and Brian Peters which saw continual improvement and he secured a commendable 6th place in the same category. Their collective efforts culminated in an overall standing that solidified their presence among the top contenders at the event, with Doug finishing 19th and Morgan 22nd out of an impressive field of 75 drivers who vied for victory.

The success of Morgan "Smoko" Lee and Doug Rowse wouldn't have been possible without the unwavering support of their sponsors. The Shop Beer Co., Australian Outback Plants, Printing Solutions, and Off Track Engineering played an integral role in fueling their journey to the podium, and their commitment is truly appreciated.

Looking ahead, the excitement continues as Morgan gears up to return to the skid pad at Arizona Motorsports Park, this time behind the wheel of the Smoko Motorsports DS 2023 Subaru BRZ. The next stop on the calendar? The SCCA Phoenix National Tour, where Morgan will tackle the challenges of the first National Autocross event of the year, promising yet another exhilarating showcase of speed and skill.

In the fast-paced world of motorsports, every twist and turn brings new opportunities and challenges, and Morgan "Smoko" Lee and Doug Rowse have proven that they are more than ready to rise to the occasion, leaving their mark on the track with each exhilarating lap. As the dust settles on the SCCA National Time Trials - Las Vegas, one thing remains abundantly clear: the thrill of the race is alive and well, and the journey to victory knows no bounds.
