Thought I would share a picture of my new front shocks. I sat them next to a stock VX for scale.

Those should be awesome on the track...
Thought I'd take a quick moment and post a couple progress pictures. Lots of changes made to the truck since my last post. We are now running a full hydro steering setup. I plan on making my first race of the season on July 6th at Devil's Playground in Ashboro, NC. Last year DPG was VERY unkind to my truck. I finished the race but limped away after sustaining major damage to my body and frame. But here are the update photos.

Yeah... I gotta a lil man crush goin here. Haha
VX looks sic, B! What all do you need to get done before the 6th then? I cannot wait to see some action pics!!!
so were you able to make it to race?
Any updates Buffy? Did the VX perform the way you expected on the track?
2014 Update.........
We had our first race of the season over the weekend. There were 2 races, the first was a long 2 hour endurance race where you were racing the clock. The second was an intense 30 minute dash that was started motorcross style with lots of bashing and rubbing. I took 2nd in the first race and third on the second. I was down on power due to damage to the gass tank. I finished the weeking 2nd over all for the stock modified class.
shameless plug.... I could really use a rolling chassis to build a new truck this one has been beat to a pulp and has a bent frame. Anyone interested in hooking a racer up? Calling hcloud13.....did get lots of coments that it was awesome to see something other than a jeep racing and it is the favorite rig on the circuit. Was told even if I didnt do good I would still look cool!
Can anyone guess which one is the race truck???
and the not so pretty side.....

Both of my sides look pretty![]()
It was fun watching the race. The best part was driving my VX to the pits and all the spectators looking at it wondering what the hell it was and why anyone would waste time on a "dinky" SUV like that...then Buffy drove bygranted, his was a little more modified...
Thanks for coming out and supporting us last weekend. You have a very nice looking VX! Wish we could have finished better but only so much I can do with 2 wheel drive. We never did find where the front drive shaft went!!!We still were able to pass people without it and finished 6th overall.
Bad a** VX!
3" suspension lift, shocks: Rancho 9000, tires 33"x11.5", wheels 16"x8", offset= 0, no front sway bar
Here is an action shot!
