Nice. What are the safety equipment requirements?

did you get a new DD? or is this like when you took the 80 to the mud bog obstacle course? facepalm

matth_85 · Oct 20, 2014

Does that thing have std. steel wheels? If so I'd look into some alum wheels for down there. Those steel wheels break the centers out super easy.

Usually steel or forged aluminum is required. Cast aluminum will Crack easier

There are no requirements per jimbob. You ever watched a FWD car lose a wheel going into a turn? The steel wheel breaks the center out from force back and forth. They are made from pot **** metal.

Everything I have been reading the wheels haven't come up as an issue. I am going to scoop a few extry wheels though now that's it's on my mind. On the courses with a lot of whoops and jumps the problem is control arms, and some roll pin in the trans.

Alight we ought to be in good shape. I bet it was hilarious in the truck.

Kinda putting this on my calendar...

LBarr2002 · Oct 20, 2014

Will be out of town, but definitely interested next time around. Need a bro-lite class

5lugger95 · Oct 20, 2014

I'm thinking about entering this, are they cool with trucks entering the RWD classes?

jimbo92 · Oct 20, 2014

i wouldnt see any reason why not. They just dont want really tall stuff from what i read. Guys on pirate talked about racing rangers. I would assume you would be modified rwd.

5lugger95 · Oct 20, 2014

Awesome thanks, I've been looking for an event that doesn't require a cage and this looks fun

Steve97tj · Oct 20, 2014

I'm in for this for sure. This is going to be awesome.

Does the Saturn have the body panels that don't dent?

jimbo92 · Oct 20, 2014

Dent resistant son....the panels are all pre painted and removal. The main car structure is black and the panels are painted and then installed.

When Saturns were new they were dent resistant. When they're old they just crack...
