    Race at Devil's Play Ground

    This past weekend was my first race since the roll over. I was able to complete all laps and finished 7th out of 14. It was a brutal course with all of the rigs suffering some kind of damage. I sustained major body damage to the passenger side by hitting the same tree on every lap! I am now running dual shocks on the front and it REALLY improved how this thing handles. Before my shocks would be shot after the first lap or two and just about uncontrolable but with the extra shock I stay in complete control the whole race! So here are some pictures of the carnage!











    and finally my afore mentioned nemesis tree.....

    Yeah...your missing a headlight


    Looks like it's built for the racetrack. I like that bumper darlington made for you, just needs to be built into the headlights & grill to complete the look... uh for streets & trails, I don't think you need pretty for racing.

    We are going to be adding to the bumper and refining it in the off season. It is one tough piece. I've plowed over trees, bounced off trees, rocks, you name it and no dents!
