I had the pleasure of photographing the first ever test for the Householder Motorsports Trophy Truck today. This truck also happens to be the first Trophy Truck built by Blitzkrieg Motorsports. If you didn't know it you'd never believe this was the first shakedown for the truck. The assembly and preparation was of the utmost quality. The stable and predictable handling are true testaments to the engineering and fabrication that went in to building this truck. Over all I think it was a hugely successful day for both Householder Motorsports, and BMS, but I will let the team and builder comment more about that. For now I will share some stills for all of you who couldn't actually be there.















Action shots coming soon!

Third Run, significantly faster, even caught me off guard with the speed at the road x-ing.

Slideways, sprint car style







Trust, just like sitting in the right seat, as a photographer you have to trust the driver with your life.

is that camber right? I have no idea, and am just asking...

Yes, since the truck is leaned over in the turn it appears that the front tires are also leaned over. This it typical on an a-arm vehicle. The rear tires are the opposite because that's a solid axel and the right side tire is up on the berm.

Looks nice.

What is this?

that is a Bunderson Air Jack, pricey but very light and fast for lifting op a race truck.

I think it took about a year, maybe a little less. The Householder team did all the paneling, pluming and finish work, basically BMS provided them a roller.

The frist race is going to me the MORE race July 19th, then again the MDR Race Aug. 16th. After those 2 shake down races I believe the plan is to race the BITD Henderson Race Dec 6th and the BITD Season next year.

Here is a little video that Brad from Sud Productions put together.
