My car is about as race ready as Obama is ready to lead the country. Dude, I'm miles away. I must like the eleventh hour, because that's when the $hit starts happening. Wont even be able to test until the 2nd. If you're getting bored, I can pass you again with this Badass keyboard.

I'm still hearing crickets waiting for some more players. Hoping to see JX hop on board. Cognito already placed their bet.............under the hood!!!

So tell me Johnny, what is your racing background (besides racing slot cars for team Aurora)? Best get on that homework assignment I passed out earlier. I'd hate to see you fail the big exam. I can taste the Guinness Stout now. Cases of it. Mmmm, frothy Irish beer, so good you can pound it warm !

my racing background lol well when I was about 8 years old I was racing my best friend on skateboards and I hit a big ass crack in the sidewalk and well you know I ate shiat, im thinking that was my first race... moving on I rode dirtbikes for the next 10 or so years never racing but I sure thought I was the wheelie king, when I turned 16 my drivers lic. was suspended for a few years oh oh wait when I was 17 I had a 1979 Mustang Turbo Pace Car im sure it was like 150 HP and I was living with my older brother in North Dakota anyhow I was sitting at a stop light one night and a car with tinted windows pulled up next to me .. im thinking hell ya Race time I got this so light turned green I smoke the tires pulling away from that sucker like he was standing still be he took off and pulled right behind me, im thinking wtf we he then turned on those red and blue flashing lights and gave me a ticket for drag racing so I think that was my second race .. next and moving on I got a street bike when I turned 18

oh ya this shit gets better ill be back

Who is prerunning and when? Is anyone using a UTV to do it?


I'm so country... I'm my own damn cousin.

Jim, I'm dying to hear how your test session for the front brakes went. Thanks a million for the charger as well! Let me know if I can help you spend more of your money in the future!

 

[mearsman]

I had surgery on my elbow yesterday and I wasn't able to pick the brackets up until today. Do it's gonna be a week or do before I can wrench on it.
My next project is lengthening the wheelbase by resweeping the rear a arms and moving the rear differential back. I'll be messaging and emailing and texting you. Thanks again for all your help!!!!!

Bet? Under the hood? You lost me there

 

[badassmav]

We have discussed it, I have my doubts that we will have our chase truck back by the. I doubt ford will get in any hurry replacing the engine that sprayed its rod bearings out. I'd like to make it back down to mexico for the 500. We will see.

thanks Johnny, great offer, i will see if i can scrape together some duckets!

I am pretty tapped after this new xp1k build and dealing with this blown ford chase truck motor which I hope is under warranty. But ya never know?

Whooosh! Better duck Jim, it's coming right at your head!!Dude, you're working too many hours!

114 VCP's should help keep everyone racing the same course. But I think our pre-running should still help.

 

[baja specialist]

Really excited to race this Baja 500. It will be my first Baja/desert race in a side by side. We are headed down tonight to start doing some home work.

Super stoked that you are racing a UTV Wayne. Looking forward to seeing you down there.

For those that don't know Wayne Matlock, he is a big-time Baja quad champ and seriously fast! I am sure he will make the transition from handlebars to a steering wheel with ease. Think William Yokley and Beau Baron.

The UTV class just keeps growing with talent, better teams and better Utes!

Aaaallriight, Cognito's in! Yeah, brrr brr.
You're in, but are you in for a cool grand? Hell, the bet should be whether or not I get the car done in time
