well desertoy and i spent saturday in the desert testing two class 8 desert race trucks.
all in all we had a tough day. desertoy rolled thier truck and we blew a moror in ours. our upcoming race is feburary 2 and 3 in barstow. hope some of you guys can come out and watch and if anyone wants to help us man a remote pit get ahold of me via pm.
anyhow sorry i didn't get more pics but it was a very busy day.
can you say 24" of rear wheel travel !!!
craig stewart (yes ivans son ) was out testing in thier brand new top secrect throphy truck as well and all i can say was it is a very impressive machine. my estamated $ to build has to be in the $350'000 to $500,000 range.

So is it typical that you have as much carnage for test runs?

Are you sure you want the help of people on this BB? All you will find at you remote pit is a bunch of empties:beer: :beer: :beer:

pit crew drinking beer during the race will get us DQed.
