I like the idea of getting a beater truck and racing it, kinda like the jeep guy. We should get a bunch of teams of 2-3 people together and build our own tough rigs! The limit we can spend including mods will be $500! Who's in?!?!

I've already started talking to people about this. Not sure if I want to do a ranger...bug or jeep...

Strip it, build A and B pillar hoops, lots of white rocket shocks and open headers

**The Piece** · 07-02-2009, 05:32 PM

4x4 jeep is the perfect truck for this....

**Trav-Tech** · 07-02-2009, 05:33 PM

We might have to start a new thread stating the rules of the "tough rig" class. I say 2wd truck, any motor, and susp as long as it's $500 and under INCLUDING PRICE OF VEHICLE. I could see Top Gear doing something like this

Now that I think about it $500 might be a little cheap, maybe $750? Each person in a team puts down $250 towards purchase? We can also do side bets

**Trav-Tech** · 07-02-2009, 05:39 PM

the $300 fiero gt offroad race car..... shit yes

**RicherRacing** · 07-02-2009, 05:40 PM

As for having to be a truck, I would have to say yes. WGAS might stick us in with the buggy class the following day which would be no bueno.

**Trav-Tech** · 07-02-2009, 05:41 PM

i say why do it at the fair... lets take this to the dez

**Alon** · 07-02-2009, 05:46 PM

Why not do both?

I'm already looking for my winning race truck

**Cali_F-350_XLT** · 07-02-2009, 05:47 PM

I'm in.

**onepremiere** · 07-02-2009, 05:48 PM

someone get a thread going..... i think this shouldn't be limited to just tuff trucks...

BUT... we can pretty much enter anything with an engine and wheels in tuff trucks. If we do desert, it has to have a semi legit cage, fuel cell, harnesses etc

**RicherRacing** · 07-02-2009, 05:50 PM

I'm definitely in!!! I just figured the fair would be better because there would be a "show" when we all "raced" around the track. It'll make for good spectating. Either way i'm down for it. RicherRacing will provide some bbq-ables.

**Kellen_Cox** · 07-02-2009, 05:50 PM

I'm Hannibal. Who wants to be B.A. Barackus?

***the official "tough rigs race" thread***

What do you think about making the thread private/invite only Markus? If this gets big we don't want BLM or the Rangers to know it's going on and who's behind it?

**RicherRacing** · 07-02-2009, 06:04 PM

I say another rule is that the "vehicle" must have a frame, no unibody?

**Kellen_Cox** · 07-02-2009, 06:08 PM

I say after the race any racer can buy another racers rig based upon the set dollar amount.

**Trav-Tech** · 07-02-2009, 06:08 PM

then there goes you jeep idea

**Cali_F-350_XLT** · 07-02-2009, 06:10 PM

I agree on the privacy of this thread. I'll need to figure something out.

-Markus-

**Trav-Tech** · 07-02-2009, 06:13 PM

just dont post the date untill a wk away just tell racers to have the heaps ready by a set date and have it with in two or so wks from then....

**ozh88** · 07-02-2009, 06:14 PM
