How did I end up getting picked on???!?!!?😉😀

we were reminicesing about the old days and when you came down here every other weekend…. 😎    Then we got to talking about what would make the most “impact” of a build… and decided your split would make the biggest “splash” 😎  😎  I won’t touch your split till you finally decided to sell it to me… 😎

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

The oval?? Now I know you’re nuts John;) that’s your nice “boujee” hotel Roadtripper! Hahaha I can think of like 40 other bodies out back that could be race cars too;) but I do know that oval would make a splash… I’m just excited to go racing! Team brown cloud is growing! 2 class elevens(short and long course), 1 class 5 1600. Badger wants to paint his class 11 dove blue…. so that makes 3…. dove blue gets you on the team!;) Hahah we have some logos we need to use as well. I want to pull the borrowed garage stickers off the class 11 because my bro doesn’t do that anymore and brand the car browncloud. Get the name out there

     I am soooo lucky in that EVERYONE around me is very excited about this too…   I think I am more nervous about the commitment than anyone else.. 😎   I know how competitive I am…  but enough about that… I wanna do it, now is great timing for me…  It’s popular,  being able to do something else with my friends will be awesome too…. 😎

 

I wanna build THE lightest most contested class 11 ever run…. 😎  😎  😎 😎 😎

Speaking of lightest… I’ve been following this build… let the cage do all the work. Save all the other weight… hahaha

Hole-y shit! That looks cool. And a lot of work.

Class 11 rules say “no modification to the pan or body”…but not sure how that should be interpreted.

Are drilling holes really a modification? Where’d do you draw the line? I’m sure every race car ever built has a few non-factory extra holes. 😉

If drilling a hole is a modification, so is a weld….    I bet no one has tried it yet, no precedence has been set😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜.

Got my old beat down fucked over pan  apart. Boy it really isn’t usable… I have band aided it too many times already!!!    But, with that said, and, if you will, I think this old Baja of mine has taught me a lot in the past 4-5 years I have had it…  I have broken lots of things and always got home 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋. I know what needs braced, welded or modified.  I also have a pretty good idea about what can be lightened..  I also have driven this car without fear of loosing a “driver”….  I have driven it stupidly…   and many many places it should have not gone….   its time for a Baja replacement and it might as well fit inside the rules to race!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

the old baja pan… poor thing… I broke my frame horns, I broke my beam in half one, and cracked it twice!  I went through three bodies on this pan, a few drivers side drums, and I see the one on there is about to strip out!  MANY MANY tie rods till I finally beefed up the long one!!!  it has sway bar inside the stock tie rod, and then thick walled tube over the outsude!!! WORKS!!  Did bangs canyon, hells revenge, and engineer pass and others in the ironton area!!!

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎
