Long Travel BS Thread

ouch

 

What was up with all of the wrecked trucks at RATR? I had work so i wasn't there l. Sdhq did take 2nd in our class for the season.

 

I was reading over on DR and it seems the course is just super rough

 

must have been because I was seeing pics on FB all weekend of wrecked trucks. Even big trucks. HBMuphy has one of a center mount truck that was messed up pretty bad and so does Andre. I'll have to peep DR now my work week is over.

 

well on friday at the prerun i didnt feel the track was rough compared to years past. but from midday saturday and on it looked to be pretty torn up . the section at the grandstands was insane and i was surprised more cars didnt go over there!
our day ended as quick as it started . we rolled at about rm1 @ 65mph. safety gear did its job and everyone came out unscathed . Basically it came down to bad prep. on friday night after tech i found the lower uniball race was worn and we couldent find a replacement so we ran with it and the uniball popped out of its Joint in the first heat. the camburg kit has held up amazingly with very minimal prep in the 4 years its been in service, even with the rollover the suspension parts seem to be unharmed except for bolts and misspacers. definitely quality stuff



My fire extinguisher mounts held up pretty well too!

 

glad everyone is okay man, that looks like a pretty bad one.

glad my truck doesnt look like that.. lol

 

Glad to hear you are safe! Nothing a good rebuild cannot fix

 

is it possible to add a resi to a non resi coilover?

 

What brand? King fox yes rancho no lol

 

Icon?

 

Oh yeah they'll put resis and not too bad of a price.

 

so does anyone need any bedsides or know anybody who wants some?

^i pm'd you MJ, i could ship i guess, i just dont know how to do it safely and through what company

 

bummer mike

 

Hey mike that's your truck? I was there too. I don't know if you remember but I was the one on Friday that was checking out your truck for about 10 minutes. I have pictures of it too. If I would have known that was you I would have talked to you about my rear end! I remember hearing a truck rolling within the first mile but didn't realize it was you.

 

not his truck....i believe he pits/chases for them, also sponsors

 

i dont own the red truck . its a truck that i support, sponsor and co-drive from time to time. but yeah im at every race with them , your more than welcome to stop by . bummer about the rollover but we still held on to 2nd in championship points

 

Ahh thanks. Hopefully they will do better next time. I noticed they had their stock paper plates on the front of the truck. Lol thought that was funny.

 

i have heard of guys using greyhound for fiberglass? they pull trailers and have room for oversized stuff.. and there cheap for that type of shipping might be worth a phone call anyway!
