LSK 4x4 Long Travel Build

I will chase for you and one of Tom's buddy's who is racing a 1500 Car. Jen and I will be on call and ready to respond that day on course.

 

curious to ask.. waht does chase exactly mean? like that truck, what is its purpose? to be able to keep up with the race truck if anything goes wrong?

 

Three main vehicles in a race:
- Prerunner
- Race Truck
- Chase Truck

Prerunner preruns the race course and allows the driver, codriver, and team to learn the course, take notes, and make race plans. This happens a few days prior to the race. The prerunner needs to be built similar to the race truck to be able to withstand the terrain. It only needs to carry a driver and some passengers to take notes.

This can be a prerunner:



race truck races.

Chase truck is on standby at Main Pit, satellite pits, or roaming around the race course to respond to the race truck if something breaks. It needs to be able to carry a driver and passengers to assist with the fix, along with all the tools and parts needed to fix the race truck. It also needs to be built similar to the race truck or be able to withstand the same terrain so it can get to where the race truck broke to fix it. The more built the chase truck is, the faster it can respond, and the less time the race truck remains down due to something breaking.

This can be a chase truck:

 

awesome. thanks AAron. i bet chasing can be quite fun actually.

 

It's the ultimate reward for owning an LT truck. You are granted permission to be on the race course during a race, and you are given the responsibility of fixing the race truck. At the end of the day, you celebrate with the race team, and you have the feeling that you contributed to the sport.

 

thats something ive always wanted to do but im not anywhere close to races where i live. i definitely have to come out once im caged! i know ill really messing up something out in the desert, its not so forgiving as the sand.

 

The Factory Racing is based out of Santa Barbara and they attend almost every race in Barstow, Lucerne, and Baja.

 

keep in mind im about 2 hours north of that and again this is my DD right now..

 

i just discovered that a few days ago...i always see the factory racing raptor driving around too

 

Magical pics Queen BAMF : ))

 

Hey Aaron call my boy mike at McNeil I'm sure they'll take care of the crack

 

Everyone come out to the MORE 500 to catch some great racing action, partying, and watch us test the new LSK kit on Jen's truck with the new 4x4 spindles!

And come to the pre run this Saturday!

 

Hey thanks manny! We just filled it with resin for now I think it should be ok till I get them painted

 

So wait it was just your fiberglass that was moving? Not the whole bed?

 

the bed does need more support but i think it was just my bedsides.. we lost a bolt on one side and broke the stock mount on one side

 

bump for more of this badass truck!

 

I think Aaron is taking it to the race this weekend hopefully he will snap some pics for me

 

You arent coming?
