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.

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
