Awesome hopefully this will get a lot of great tech! I feel the desert guys have a LOT to contribute.

Stuckle · 10-18-2006, 09:18 PM

how many desert racing guys do we have here?

Look forward to learning about it more

American · 10-18-2006, 09:19 PM

Damn. I came in here just to be the first, and both of you beat me.

Todd W · 10-18-2006, 09:23 PM

We may not have a LOT of racing guys but once they start contributing it will be great. A lot of stuff used for crawling has been used on race trucks previously or currently so the knowledge we gain/share from them is great.

Not to mention the bling on most racers

Beat95YJ · 10-18-2006, 09:42 PM

WTF??? This is the coolest new forum on Pirate! (Screw those hauler people)

fj40forlife · 10-18-2006, 09:56 PM

I have pitted for a race team a few time. And could I say its a fun time. Ill maybe going to racing early next year being a co drive. But Does 1 cars are fast. Wish I could get a ride in one. We where talking to a guy. He say they take race cars. And pay him 7000 Just to get it ready, and thats not counting parts and stuff. They are some big money cars there.

well this is a great addition. I'm building my '79 as a trail/street/prerunner style truck. Wonderful place for tech!

afecko · 10-19-2006, 07:52 AM

Not much Desert in Montana, but lots of short-course action.

revor · 10-19-2006, 09:59 AM

I'm into it... Just bought a new shop truck based on the word from the desert racing guys.. 95 Ranger... Cheap to buy Cheap to fly!!!
I guess it won't be a shop truck for long....

Brian1 · 10-19-2006, 10:39 AM

Kick ass new forum! Im looking forward to where this leads. I am becoming more involved in desert racing. I have helped do a little prep on a Class 8 for a local team. I also attend the local desert races here in NM. They are not on the scale of BITD,SNORE, etc but they sure are fun to go to.

Nice pic of the truck in the new 4WOR

This is an awesome addition to the PBB. Hopefully it will bring in a lot of the smaller organizations from around the country. Brian, I read up every so often on NM Sandrails about the racing that is going on out there. Nice to see the sport is moving east.

Jeepmangled87 · 10-19-2006, 11:10 AM

alright, right up our alley There is a sick desert truck being built here right now, pics coming...

Yep, that was me. Thanks. Two days before a race.. good thing I took those pics n' sent 'em in when I did.. there was some paint traded 2 days later.

Finally a place to talk about "That's desert racing stuff, this is a ROCK CRAWLING site" that might be more active than Race Dezert on the tech side. Sure, we ALL want to know what the Flyin' Hawaiin's new Trophy Truck will look like..

but I'd put good tech ahead of that any day.

Wonder if this place could be a throwback to the old prerunner e-mail list days? That would rock

Just as long as no discussions about heat treating and 4130 come up, it will all be good.............

That'd be fine by me! Those were good times with Donahoe, Foutz, and the Dixon Brothers.

Hellbound · 10-19-2006, 02:02 PM

not one but would love to have a $100,000 to get started

scummy · 10-19-2006, 08:51 PM

I am not a "desert racer" but i do chase for a few of my friends who do.I am glad to see this added to pirate.Here is a link to my build if anyone cares

gfbgreaser289 · 10-20-2006, 12:29 AM

does pro arena trucks for the ushra count. got a ranger with fullsize bronco ttb and kings. about 20" travel. but its short course.

fabtoys · 10-20-2006, 01:26 AM

been racing desert for 9 years won the 98 vegas to reno in class 7 open truck has been put to pasture actually everything broke on her nothing left to weld on .

We built a bunch of pro arena /tuff trucks and brought Kings to the sport back in 99 now everyone runs them

Whitewater · 10-20-2006, 09:02 AM

Been building a hooptie 7 open truck for 3 years now. Time and Money, primarily time... were grossly mis-estimated when I was calculating the build. I'll get out there one of these days.
Edit: and will be riding co-dawg with Lance in this years B1K.

rsteele13 · 10-22-2006, 08:03 AM

ok im not a racer but know my fair share about desert racing and am involved with a few teams. i orignally found pirate over on DezertRangers and lurk between here and therangerstation for tech advice. i do believe that crawlers and racers can share a welth of information and design techniques, its just knowing what to use and how to use it. anyways lots of people in the racing community are happy about the new desert racing board on here.

ihojeff · 10-22-2006, 08:20 AM

We Race Farm Equipment!

Been a couple years since my brother and I desert raced the Scout but we hope to bring it out to some MDR events next year.
