WHOA! That Rock Dawg is insane! It sounded like an RC car as it drove away but I know I saw a muffler... weird!
I am pretty sure it is electric. If you saw a muffler it is probably a generator of some sort.
There has been awesome live video coverage of the last chance qualifiers...tomorrow the cam's will be rolling for the big show! It will be great with lots of carnage!:yesy:
teeheehee funny fat guy fall down LOL
1 minute till race start! :dance:
Man, great coverage! Arizona's Shannon Campbell killed it...winning by over 30 minutes!
Dallas (Stinkyfab) was co-dog for Roger Lovell and finished 16th!:bwgy:
Pretty crazy! I've always followed on-road motorsports where the cars cost $100K+ to develop. How much do these rigs typically cost? Looks like a few amateur ones in there maybe...
The top rigs were in the 100-200K area. All that unbreakable stuff is big $$$$. There are a few with considerably smaller budgets but as the KOH gets bigger (it has grown from 13 5 years ago to having its own qualifying series and a limit of 100 rigs) I think those will become less and less. With the exception of the "OG 13" everyone else must qualify (top 10 get auto entry into the next years race also).
Sounds like the same thing that happened to stock car racing...
Except in SC they have regulations to keep the playing field a bit evener which sort of puts a cap on it. At KOH you run what you brung...only reg's are safety.
HERE are some great photo's from the race.
This one reminds me of the VX rocket car advertisment...:yesy:
