Thanks to the NMC Motorsports Club and their adviser, Wayne Moody, for showing true sportsmanship at the Backwoods Baja race this weekend at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. Following the pre-race technical inspection, which the Hawk Owls passed with no issues, an NMC team member learned the University of Iowa team had not passed. Iowa was there without an advisor and didn’t know how to resolve an engine problem. Moody helped them fix it, Iowa entered the race and bested NMC’s fifth place in the overall standings. Moody said, “Our team had the same amount of pride in helping them out to be successful as they would have been if it was their own car.”
The Hawk Owls’ race was topped off by finishing with no breakdowns, a first for NMC in its history of competing at the endurance race, where they consistently perform well against four-year schools like Iowa.
