Maybe suspend a bowling ball in the cab on s rope, acts as a pendulum for automatic screen bounce/clean

Or you just keep a toilet plunger within reach, from the inside just reach out w/ the rubber end to push the thing off

Why does the passenger side need covered?

Why does the passenger side need covered?

Cause it was 8 inches deep with mud last race. Maybe the screen will keep some out. If the screen becomes a henderance I'll take it off.

Torc series boys use a screen so I would think it should work unless you go to small with the openings where it will want to gather on it.

 

[Dylan W.]

My screen has much smaller openings and mud will probably gather on it, hopefully I can just smack it off. We'll see.

So, this past weekend, I headed back to PA to get my second brolite racing fix. Time to test the new mods. 2 1/2 inch tj spring and a 410 geared rear. The springs work alot better than the stock ones and the rear gear makes the truck much quicker. Also..picked up a sponsor. Rick @ Trailtubes lives in PA, so I called and invited them out to the race. Turner out, he wanted to sponsor me and sticker up my truck! I said great!!
It was a double header weekend, which meant we'd have 4 races!
Race 1..I placed 2nd..
Race 2...my fuel pump died.= Dnf
Race 3...I was closing on the leader with 1 to go. I think I might have pushed it a little to hard into final turn. I rolled the truck completely over and back onto all 4s. Truck was still running so I grabbed a gear, and kept going. I didn't lose a spot..finished in 2nd.
Race 4..truck was running great, but looked like hammered shit, I finished 2nd yet again.

You barely flinched when that thing rolled over, very nice man. As soon as the thing was on 4 you just hammered down.

 

[GotWood]

Now it looks more like the OG ECORS XJ! Glad to know you are OK.

Btw, did Rick ever did the shocks on his suburban?

.didn't have time to flinch. It all happened too fast.

I wasn't the only carnage though. Here are a few pics from between rounds.

Bring it home bubba

Matt

 

[Dylan W.]

Well..I brought it home, but not the win. I managed a fourth place finish out of 12 or so trucks. I ran the last few laps with a broken front shock shaft and a flat tire. Once again, I had a bad starting position (last) and that combined with a land rush start, meant I became a pinball before the 1st turn. I got hit from the rear and both sides. Ended up getting turned around and briefly hung up on another truck. I ran like hell trying to catch everybody, made a few passes and had one helluve good battle with the purple truck. But alas, the right front tire blew the bead and my goings got slow. I still had an absolute blast. We were jumping these trucks, hitting the whoops and curves, so hard, it was kinda unbelievable how much punishment these trucks can take.
