Wheeling in the rain today.

I got a question. How important is the amber on the light bar. I smashed mine and was thinking of replacing it . Does the Amber help in the woods racing or just in the desert dust?

I think it helps in any night situation where you are traveling at speed and there is dust in front of you. Low speed night wheeling no problem. I have been thinking about making a glare shield similar to this.

I'll still mess with peoples heads and show them the videos of Elmo on youtube.

 

[Lil ugly]

I thought Elmo was the green international scout or bronco on Rockwells. Or was that Shrek?

A lot of the PNW wheelin pictures look like parts of tellico, with the big smooth rocks and dense forest



Roger I'm gonna build a time machine so we can blast some Pantera and hit Guardrail at midnight in the town wagon.

That's Reiter OHV. The rock trails are mostly man made.

Good deal on prep and relocation. Saw your name on the registration list about an hour after I asked.

The Sturgis race was awesome. Got there setup the garage and got ready for prerunning. The next day we did some prerunning and qualifying with no issues. Saturday was prelim and the main. We flopped the truck durring the prelim but got recovered and finished. Rolled into the garage and got the truck straightened out for the main. Started the main and cruised around for 5 laps with no issues. Overall great race and a great time.

:dblthumb: What changes do you have up your sleeve before KOH 22'?

 

[extremetownie]

Is the course more of a short course? How long is a lap? Any rock?

It was considered a short course style race with lots of turns. Each lap was between 2 and 3 miles in length and from what I watched it seemed most of the races were between 7-10 laps in total length. There was one small rock section (smaller than the AOP rock section in the grass field) that did not appear very challenging, but still managed to take out a couple of tires.

The suspension will be the first thing we address. Right now we are in the process of having custom shocks and bumps made by ADS with help from a local shop Filthy Motorsports. I will be pulling the TG leaf springs off the truck and replace them with something more suitable for racing.
After nationals in October we will be looking into engine performance, possibly forced induction.

 

[ridered3]

Got any updates?

Above you mentioned forced induction. I assume you’d go turbo, so does the stock class limit turbo sizes etc?

No, stock class doesn’t limit turbo size. If it was a factory option you can run it. The rules don’t really go into anymore details, which is nice.

Recently we have prepping for nationals and been getting the leaf springs swapped out. We now have Sky’s Offroad Design supporting our race program.

 

[extremetownie]

Hopefully i will get a chance to meet you at Nationals.

At least they allow turbos and straight axles.
The ECORS series would only allow powertrain options that were available with the specific chassis/suspension
