Great look bro. Keep us posted on how it grows and rolls.

Now that's way cool. It looks like your racing on a motocross track. Are you doing laps? Sounds like a cheap way to race like jeep speed was here.

[ironmanandy]

The most recent race we did was woods, rocks, and motocross style track for jeeps. It was insane!
check out our facebook for more pics of the event
