What a BLAST. I put together a Zuki for 283.00 to enter the Arena trucks last weekend. The first night I stripped the clutch. So we changed the clutch the next day in the Corel Center, and back to the races. That night I came in 3rd, with a 15.22 second run. What a rush!!!!!!!!!! I have a few nice shots of the truck 4' in the air. On the sunday , They had changed the jumps a bit , and did a bad launch off the second set of jumps. I found myself flying towards the cars in the infield. Oh well nothing I can do but go for the ride. I lamded on a Monte Carlo and rolled off onto my side. The crowd went nuts. 3 guys tipped me back over, I started it back up and finished the race in 42 seconds. What a Rush!!!!!!!
And I stil have a truck now for local trails.

6 point cage
33x12.50x15 BFG's
2" offset rims
locked rear
5 point harness
built in rocker guards
NO doors, windshield, front fenders.

total 283.00 plus 1 new clutch

Hey, it seemed to work - you did well in the second heat.

Jim's little LJ did great too - it almost looked elegant when it was 10' in the air. :)
