So after some talk with Roy, I'm putting this challenge out to all you.

Let's build some racers for the ORV tracks!

A stock XJ will work, a Toyota (Trash) will work, a old jeepster racer (Toby!) will work, a FSJ Waggy will work!

The Bomber Class comes from the fact that there will be rubbing on the track! Bumpers and nerf bars may be a requirement . . . :lol:

That would be hella fun.. where can you find the rules for this class?

www.pnw4wda.com for rules. . .not too many rules. . just cage w/door bars and harnesses. . .other than that (HOLD ON)!!!!!

Needless to say, I'm in. How about a tubed out 2000lb Samurai with a pissed of Toyota motor, some high $$$ shocks, YJ springs and one EXTREMELY Loose nut behind the wheel (my kid is crazy)?

Partly an issue of too damn many rigs in my driveway, and the Scout wouldn't get done before the next ice age :glare:

I'm not talking about racing Memorial-Labor day weekends . . .


I was thinking any off weekend. Go spend the day, maybe camp over night. Steve/Jim/Me have talked about this one since last years races . . .

But we'd still run the races. . .AND we have to have some sort of safety requirements.

Okay, you guys got the hamster running again ....

Fill me in on the proposed rules ... will they be basically PNW4WDA? Would the racing be a Horn Rapids?

I've been looking at Broncos and Bronco II's on CL, and there is several CHEAP. So, I'm in if we get this organized.

Will the races count as club runs .... I'm gonna have to have something cause we know my CJ is never gonna get done :roll: :lol2

Is anyone currently working on building a rig? You all have me kind of fired up about this, but I don't want to buy a rig unless we really are going to put a few races together.

Maybe we can organize some kind of a work weekend to strip rigs and build cages. We could even organize some kind of a group buy to help tubing prices. It looks like for around $600 I can pick up a Bronco II or Explorer.

There was mention of doing something with that Waggy that Jose and I drug to his house, too. Came up today at BBQ. Strip it out, get that 401 going. Could be a giggle :idea:

Gutted, caged waggy 401. . .find a Hi RPM alum intake for cheap (Torquer II).. .Do the rings so it doesn't smoke too bad. . .big carb. . .straight pipes. . weld up the rearend. . .cheap tranny cooler and PS cooler. . .Yeah. I like where this could go.

You can't rub what you can't catch. . .

My speedo was topped out at 85 yesterday on the North Fork. . .in 3rd gear (61mph true when adjusted for the 5.38s). . .I may just put seats, harnesses and door bars on the Jeep. :twisted:

Huh. . .now I'z a thinkin'. . .
