RON! I did not know you were here! Everyone, Ron helped me sort out my brakes and shocks. He also gave me loads of advice during my limited build to take on the Targa Newfoundland. We have bigger plans in the future.

No problem. Back when I originally posted stuff, trucks didn't seem to be very popular here. I'll put together a thread on the truck. More is happening.

Thank you. lol. You rock. Kinda had to make a choice, let the truck gather dust in the garage, or do something with it. While it's not an ideal platform for racing, it is crazy fun. And that is what I need. Glad there are a few more like me that like the LWB trucks.

It was unreal fun and scary as hell at times. As mentioned above, I'll put together a build thread and get it going over here. In the meantime, here are a couple of fun articles:

Congrats on the Road and Track write-up--bet you didn't expect that!

Famous last words: I just want to try it, maybe once...

Hello everyone,

My latest video. This is the final stage from the 2014 Targa Newfoundland, a town named Brigus. Settled in 1612, it is a beautiful place to drive fast.

It was so much fun, also scary as hell. But once you hit the throttle, you forget about everything except what is in front of you, with exception to ocean, cliffs, rock and churches in the middle of the road.

Again thank you. Trying to make better videos than just a single GoPro pointed crooked out the windshield. And yes, it was such a blast. The fact they close down towns set us free is unreal.

This course was about 4-5 miles. We had open highway runs that were 20-30 minutes of coastal drives. 45-47 stages in total, over the course of 5 days, the Targa Newfoundland is an amazing event.
