EB-based racer for the Baja 1000 this coming weekend

[toddz69]

As Dusty noted, it's racing in Class 8 for this race. Chris was planning on racing it in Class 3 - however he never received written confirmation from SCORE tech that he would be allowed in Class 3 (did have a verbal OK and agreement from Mosses). Additionally, with the course layout this year, there's a good chance there will be some serious holdups at a few places in the slower classes and he didn't want to be stuck in a logjam behind a bunch of stuck cars. Class 8 gives him a much better starting position so that's where he decided to run.

Ah, sorry. Didn't read all of Dusty's post. To be honest, it would be hard to believe what they WOULDN'T let in class 3 after seeing the mono-leaf, TT inspired, late model bronco we had to run against in '11. It would be cool if the EB class that has been rumored would materialize.

Well the 803 just left the line.

I just saw this truck leave of the starting line from the live feed http://score-international.com/

Didn't expect to see another early Bronco besides Trinity Coast, glad to see your post with more info!

Hey guys, the rear tires never touched those cool steel fenders, until one of them went flat and came apart. Minor fender damage from the tread flopping around before it was changed. Easy repair.

Only made it 185 miles. Truck was undersprung and shocks not valved right. Hammered through the travel and ended up tearing a ball joint out of a beam up front. Rear springs shot, was sitting on the bump stops so we called for the trailer. Will try again soon.

Good luck next year Chris. Being undersprung and valved too big can really slow you down. At least it was a loop this year so you wouldn't have been stuck at the tip if you made it that far

That's a sweet looking race Bronco. Luv the dual headlights.

I think there was just one other entry - the Mosses, who have pretty much owned the class for years.

Is say the moss boys are at a little disadvantage

Really stoked on their win. It's been fun watching this Bronco come together.

That thing looks tough. I like the stretched the fenders.

You got it, Eric. Chris and Glen's truck was at NORRA last year in unfinished form.
