Ford Rough Riders

[TayCo 7s]

does anybody have pics of the old FORD ROUGH RIDER TEAM i cant find any on the internet .... with the simmon bros. dan smith etc.

post them up

 

[Jim Oaks]

I have a huge poster of the WHOLE team together.

I'll try and grab a shot of it this afternoon.

 

[Jim Oaks]

I was sort of wrong I guess.

I thought my poster showed more of the trucks than it does. It's mostly the drivers with the trucks in the background.

(2) F-150's and (2) Rangers.

If you can't read the names from left to right it:

John Swift - Dave Simon - Danny Thompson - Paul Simon - Dave Ashley - Rob MacCachren - Scott Taylor - Dan Smith

Here are some more pics from the people of RDC ,from the old school gallery

 

[Jim Oaks]

Can you name the drivers in that photo?

 

[Jim Oaks]

Was Robby Gordon ever considered on of the Rough Riders?

I found some information that in 1995, Ford came to Baja with Rough Rider Fords for Rob MacCachren, the Simon brothers, John Swift, and Robby Gordon.

Was Gordon ever actually considered a Rough Rider? He's definitely mentioned a lot when it comes to racing Ford's in the desert, but you don't see his name actually mentioned as a team member.

I do know that he raced for Jim Venable Racing and Venable Racing is on that last group shot poster.

 

[Jim Oaks]

Actually, I have found a few members to join in 1995.........

 

[TayCo 7s]

Great pictures guys !!!!!!! but my favorite still is the robby ranger with the mexican colors

 

[canyoncritter]

Jim, I'm not sure on Robby or not.I'll try doing some digging to find people with the info.



I can not tell you who each driver is on the poster.....but maybe some of these will help..
