Had a blast last night out at Perris Auto Speedway. Entered the truck in the spectator race for the Night of Destruction. Got taken out in the first round. Truck has the straight line speed, but I had to slow way down in the turns to keep the left side tires on the ground.

Little video

Turtle of Bug? Looks out of control, but well within my comfort zone. Just gotta stay on the gas. I do need to clearance the rear fender wells some more. That's a lot of smoke! Gotta get the full resolution pics for sure.

Ecotech Bug doing it wrong.

Finally got my hands on the hi-res photos from the night of destruction. Was hoping I would be able to make it back out this month, but its looking like I'll be working. October for sure. Some of you guys should bring your rigs out and try it. Never knew turning left could be so much fun.

My brother just bought our friends step side. Great truck as is, but I'm sure it won't stay like this long. Smog exemption is a huge plus.

I always thought this truck was cool. I love seeing it get even better after changing hands. Cars usually go downhill after the original owner/builder sells. Keep it up, love it.
