A close friend of mine did the photo shoot on it that will be in the next issue of Mud Life. She said it was one of the baddest rigs she's seen on the track in person, after watching the vid's I am inclined to agree.

its out now.
 
i read the article about it. not sure of the specs other than its the same motor(same hp) thats in digger.
 
wow, it's like a funny car on a pogo stick!

 
If I had one of those engines laying around I'd stick it in something too. I'll see if she's got any additional specs, but about all I got out of her on the phone was "it's huge, loud, bright, shiny, and damnit fast, so the exact oppisite of my old (hers) mud truck."
 
Dude towards the end does sound a lil bit like me, but na, I sent one of my photographers out to the event, but we had our Big Straight Diesels Farmington Drag Race and Sled Pull that day so I couldn't go, sucked.

Maybe one day I'll be cool enough to announce TGW stuff, ha, I've actually worked with em on two events the beginning of this year down in Florida, but just have been so busy with my stuff haven't been able to go to any since . . . Hate it thou, cause as much as I like what we got goin on round here, anything TGW puts there name on pretty much puts everything off-road event related in NC to shame
 
very impressive! I have to ask though, aren't those barriers a bit small for something with that much speed, tire, and jumps? Pretty cool in an open field!

I'd love to have that engine!

Yeah...I was sitting in the second row along the last straight. The last pit/hill combo was kinda washed out and trucks would slide down the side of the hill...scared me a little a bit. After the first 4-5 trucks they 'rebuilt' that section...but my a$$ would pucker a little bit every time I saw a truck coming in outta control.
 
Enough barrier to hold them in would make them invisible. I've seen serious trucks parked in the back of trucks that were parked 15 feet behind the fence, watched trucks climb light poles after getting sideways in the pit, and seen a gracious plenty high centered on the guardrails, but even if they were chin high there would be little difference coming uphill out the side of the pit. Gotta stay alert and able to scramble when you're at any motorsport event, these in particular, I would imagine ECORS and other rock/trail racing would be just as dangerous in several spots along the course. Either way, if being a spectator worries you, build a truck and try it from the other side, no scare will ever come close to bouncing the front tires over the barrier toward a crowd of drunken bystanders with all 4 tires off the dirt unable to do a damn thing about it. Luckily though, that's a pretty rare event.
 
Dennis is as tough as a pine knot, that rig is awesome. Don't have any thing in my imagination to answer to that. I don't see how he takes the beatings in that thing, he's what 48 - 50ish by now. All those years of wadding up Grave Digger in the old leaf spring set up and nose/back dead hits on the 4 link trucks. I bet his chiropracter does all right.

Do think he needs to kick the stands back a bit. It'd be pretty hard to contain that thing if it hooked funny.

ECORS'ing that thing would be sick also.
