Here is another video. This past September, we ran the truck in the Targa Newfounland. It was the first truck to ever do it. There were a lot of naysayers, but we did it and surprised everyone, even ourselves to be honest. Enjoy the video.

If interested look-up Targa Truck on fb, or google it.

cheers,
bovey

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.
