Pretty awesome and takes place about 2 hours from me. I sense I just might visit Treymont PA sometime soon to see this.

LOL….Yea, seen it and it looks like a bunch of red necks waiting to kill someone or themselves. Some real crappy POS trucks racing in cornstalks….’Children of the Corn’ Part 3….lol

That's the fun of it. I dont think they need to overbuild a stock ranger for something like this

Whatever, I'd totally be into it if i had the money and resources

I think its awesome. I definitely can't have one ready by sept.5 but if it works out i'll be in next year.

Hey, they're wheeling their rangers and having fun with them. That's all that matters.

100% not the case here. Professional drivers and experienced fabricators have been stepping up to grow this series. Most of the guys involved are well known east coast Ultra4 drivers that are use to dumping absurd amount of $$ into 4400 cars. The goal here is to have a spec class truck you can build for about 3K total investment for a safe, fun, competitive race truck. read the rules and check out some of the builds.


We have 3 new trucks under construction in Rochester NY and will be joining the race series. 2 trucks i started on tube work last night....

Nice! Welcome to the boards! It's cool to see a Ranger centric racing series.

I've heard that before.The next thing you know, if you don't have a $50K budget you won't even sniff the Top 10. Safe & Fun, no doubt. Competitive? I doubt it. I watched Vintage Racing do the exact same thing. One year it was fun, driving around old race cars. Then, a few dudes show up with Roush motors and the next thing you know everyone has tractor-trailer rigs and are spending huge money. There's just no way to limit the amount of cash people want to spend, to win. I hope I'm wrong because the people that lose out are the ones that get it started and support it when it's in its infancy.

Mine got put away in the corner for KOH prep on the other car.

I like "children of the Corn".. I would much rather run into a corn stock than a cement wall (been there done that)..trucks are caged and drivers strapped in with Helmets. I would think much softer? (safer for a stock truck ??)? you think..
I'd be in.. If I traveled..

More truck builds in process. i picked up another extended cab i will finish sometime this year. caged out another truck last week, have another new build coming to the shop tomorrow. we have 5 trucks in my area alone. we should hit 25 competitive trucks but the end of this year.
