Our biggest issue would be making the trek to the west coast. Off-road racing on motorcycles and ATVs is popular in the Oklahoma /Texas area, but not many people have any idea as to what a long travel suspension race truck is. When trying to explain this, I normally say, "You know those Ford Raptor trucks?...Yeah! One of those, but on steroids.."
Fast forward a few years; We saved the cash and began to look for trucks. We would be a day late or a buck short on everything we could afford. The truck was purchased from Adams Fabrication, who built the truck to compete in the Texas Desert Racing series: https://www.texasdesertracing.com/
My brother and I will be competing in the Texas Desert Racing series, starting in the 2015 season. Stay tuned for updates on races and to the truck!
