Awesome!

Good luck out there.

'Evening Ryan, that is looking fantastic--I'll bet you're excited! I like the spring sign you've added; it makes your truck look like even more of a bona fide race machine.

Thanks!


Made some horsepower plates

MORE bedside support







Raced 18 laps (about 18 miles) of brutal short course and drove it home with ZERO issues!

Almost rolled it in practice.... put it up on 2 wheels and bicycled it for a while. After i was done thinking about how I was about to roll in practice, I cranked the wheel and was able to save it
A buddy behind was right behind us.. he said the bottom of my truck looked great... I wish he had a forward facing camera.

First moto I was all over the place, half tread desert tires on a freshly watered short course.... I couldn't keep it straight to save my life.
2nd moto was the best of the 3, hauled the mail and kept steady
3rd moto was terrible, limped for a while trying to figure out what was banging. Turned out to be my fiberglass fender. Figured it is either already destroyed or in the middle of track about to be destroyed so back to hammering down.

Turns out a flag guy ran and grabbed the fender before it got ran over, and it is in 100% perfect shape. AWESOME!

So, A car wash and I am as good as new.

The truck landed VERY nicely off the stadium jump. The best yet. Can't wait to see video to see how it's rebounding

Sounds like you had a great weekend. Awesome.

[1971ford]

And that's a wrap. Truck is no longer mine. Hopefully we'll see some pictures of it down south racing.

[FormerMarine1981]

How far south? Hope you got a good deal for it.

I forgot to ask in the general section if you know what sanction the guy you sold it to is going to be racing in?

Damn, you are everywhere.
