I snapped a few
photos of
some Rangers during contingency at the 2009 BITD Terrible's 250 in Primm Nevada. I thought I would put them on a page
under their class heading to give you an idea of some of the trucks I saw
out there.
Click on the
photos to enlarge them.
I also noted some class specs for each
class, but here's a quick overview:
7100
- Modified stock components. Boxed arms, reinforced frames, fiberglass
fenders, but about the same travel as 7300.
7200
- Unlimited except for track width and has to be a six cylinder
motor and look like a truck. Mini-trophy trucks.
7300
Stock Mini - Stock control arms, no frame reinforcement, open shocks, no
fiberglass. As stock as you can get.
Sportsman
Prerunner (1800) - Open. Must meet safety requirements only. No payback,
but this is where you see V8 Rangers.

Class
1800 PreRunner:
| This
is an open class designed more for the trucks that have been
built such as prerunners that doesn't fit in the other classes. This class
doesn't race for contingency points. |
Miscellaneous:
I
saw this truck on a trailer for sale. The owner wanted $85,000. No, I
didn't add to many zeros.
