You better take a Go-Pro if they let you run. I would love to watch.

Ok, I was told by the upper management that this sport is more for cars than trucks. They have a truck class but its intended for smaller trucks like the ranger or other small trucks. I was told the rules and the problems they have with the set up that I run. I must run a windshield. I must use either glass or 1/4'' lexan for a windshield. No doors are ok due to the roadster configuration from the factory. But their rules say I must have a hard top. Wont go for the roadster no top deal. Next is arm restraints. must have because of no doors. I also must run in a modified class. So I will ad a frame and lexan, arm restraints and I guess I will have to build a "custom" hardtop??? They said it had to like a stock top. I cant put a wing on it and call it a top. Or a sheet-metal top on the cage. So I will be looking for a few tops to cut up and make into a stretched half cab.
What fun.

Nice Bax. I'm sure you will find some donor parts soon. I might have a top that is not worth restoring but has a decent roof with typical rot in the drip rail and 1 side panel is toast.

Mid America is prolly not the least expensive vendor, but if you have a cage with a windshield hoop and high dash-bar you might be able to rock some of this:

It's made specifically to put a window/windshield in an opening surrounded by tube.

That is awesome Roger! How did you do? I think they took more individual pictures of you than any other car out there... imagine that.

My vote for the best photo, look at him go:

I was put in the modified / open all wheel drive class. So I was playing with some race prepared cars. There were 7 in this class. I placed fourth. There were 8 timed runs. My single run time was 94.00 seconds. The fast cars did it in 87.00 seconds. seven seconds x 8 runs puts me having to make up 56 seconds! I need to come up with a faster way around the course to catch those guys. But I did have fun and the bronco earned some respect.

Dang that looks fun Roger win loose or draw.

Thats simple enough... you need more cowbell!

Looks like you had a blast though and I am glad to see they let you run. I am sure you will figure out how to shave some time.

Calendar shot right there!

Roger,
Looks like you are running in 2wd as well as other in the same class. Is that correct? Why not 4wd? Impede cornering too much? Sorry for all the questions. Looks like a blast!
Get 'em,
Tyler
