i heard there will be 5 DA trucks someday. i mean 5 new ones. Todd Gatrell was rebuilding his. Herder will have a Jimco 1 car w/ a TT body for next season i thought. i know of 1 other TT that will debut next BITD season, but not supposed to say the name just yet. there are 3 trucks like his racing now, just a small hint.

[.:mKx:.]

Two brand new trucks from Mexico: Ernesto Cervantes and Martin Avendano. Debut is planned for next year. Avendano probably will miss this baja 1k because he is spending time and money to finish the new truck

Spd? I talked to Dave from SPD at Terribles Cup and he said that they arent building any trucks right now!

[younggunracer]

Wow alot of trucks I thought there where some savage TT buing built don't see any on the list or maybe I am way off?

[nelson979]

[DUMP!]

SPD has built four trucks, Brian Collins, Bobby Baldwin, Bj Baldwin, Chuck Harris. Harris sold his before it was completed.

Harris sold his to BJ

[jasonmgreene]

who is SPD?

[Demonturtle]

who is SPD?

bill Savage, dave Perrault, ivan Davis

[bcampbell04]

ok, yes it is a savage TT. it is already built and the team is currently finishing and testing it for next season,. the team still actively races with another truck, but will begin racing this truck next season

[younggunracer]

Yea those are truck already built I thought I heard they had one or two being built. I don't really know though?

[RFALLERS]

The next release of Geiser trucks should be after Primm

[DUMP!]

Harris sold his to BJ

Noop, Harris's truck was built for a Ford. That deal never went through with BJ. BJ's truck is the 4th SPD truck.

Dump

[bcampbell04]

are you sure? i have heard from quite a few people close w/ Baldwin Racing, and they have all told me it was Harris's chassis originally

[Demonturtle]

Dump

I work for Collins Motorsports

BJ bought out Harris about halfway through construction

[DUMP!]

Trust me, I built the chassis for BJ's truck with Ivan. When Chuck's was sitting in the next bay waiting for him to make a decision as to what he was going to do. In the end they did use Chucks rear end housing on BJ's but that was all. Jez, it's Sunday afternoon haven't you guy's got anything better to do???LOL

[hammer down racing]

What ever happened with Jimmy Beavers TT? Has it come out of hiding yet?

[Demonturtle]

Dump

so who bought Chuck's?

[bcampbell04]

Jimmy Beaver is currently testing and working out the bugs of his truck. They have been testing it for awhile now. I know they were have some issues with certain things. Maybe the team i know has the Harris SPD chassis, but i swore he said it wasn't.

Not to change the subject by much, but there are also a few new class 8's being built too......

[Harpo]

There are a couple more that will make their debut next season????

[Demonturtle]

Could that be you guys?

I thought I heard somewhere you were building a new TT?

[John_Bitting]

Not to change the subject by much, but there are also a few new class 8's being built too......

That is also great news. I love that class. Can you tell who or is it top secret for some reason? Thanks

[Dez_Annihilation]

Why is Herder building a new TTor is it his new Jimco 1 car and then later their going to put a TT body on it? I saw his new 1 car the other day and man that thing is awesome he's running his old paint job again with the AZ flag on it he had a BITD number on it when i saw it the other day so i'm guessing he will be running V2R.

[Dan McMillin]

Looks like the 07-08 season should be interesting....

[bcampbell04]

i believe he will be running his new 1 car w/ a TT body on it. that was his plan from what i've heard

[MARK]

Rumor has it Motion Tire might be in a new HMS Trophy Truck at Laughlin.

[Old School 8]

That is also great news. I love that class. Can you tell who or is it top secret for some reason? Thanks

John,
Nothing top secret, I was refering to Matt Towery's new class 8, (who has posted a few pictures here). And ME ! I sold my old class 8 to Jamie Galles last January, and I have been feverishly working (at night) on building a new Chevy. I hope to be done by first of next year.

[DUMP!]

so who bought Chuck's?

Kevin Magillvery. Sorry, I know I butchered the last name. What can I say, spell check doesn't work on names.

Dump

[HDRA1]

i know bunderson racing is doing all the finish work on that truck it has a diffrent body on compared to collins and baldwin's trucks and the finish work looks real nice.

[la2baja]

The owner of the missing SPD chassis has 30 years of racing experience and started out in buggies..... That was the frist authorized hint. DUMP got the goods before the trivia game ever got started!

[bcampbell04]

well, since his name was said. yes, Kevin McGillivray has an SPD TT that will debut next BITD season. this is just what i was told about 2-3 months ago

[la2baja]

It's a Pflueger body.

[bcampbell04]

Really!!! what is with everyone who has bought/built an HMS Avenger building the new TTs from HMS. Damen, Joe Myers, and now them. wow. before you know it, Fuentes and the other couple will have the TTs as well

[E&S Racing]

Really!!! what is with everyone who has bought/built an HMS Avenger building the new TTs from HMS. Damen, Joe Myers, and now them. wow. before you know it, Fuentes and the other couple will have the TTs as well

To answer your question I think everyone who has bought the HMS Avenger has seen how great of a car it is, how well it works and how competitive it can and will be. Therefore they are seeing/projecting how much better the HMS Hybrid TT will in fact be... Just my 2 cents

[Doug]

If all goes as planned this Trophy Truck being built by the students at Wizard Schools will be finished and racing next season. We've already got a well-known driver lined up, but it's hush-hush at this point.

Does he possibly teach the course?

[bcampbell04]

that's awesome the Wizard Fab TT will race. can't wait to hear who the driver will be.

[bcampbell04]

Does he possibly teach the course?

i thought i read a long time ago that Porter/Gasper are building a PRC1 that will start racing next season. i think it was supposed to be sponsored by the same company that sponsored the PRC10

[Doug]

Does he possibly teach the course?

No, it's not Danny Porter or Billy Gasper. While I'm sure they will be a part of the team in a technical knowledge sort of way as their free time (does that exist?) allows, neither one is signed on as a driver. If they offered that would be great, but I think they have plenty of other stuff to keep them busy.

Doug
Although I'm building a new class 8.....I'll offer to drive your TT !

[Goober]

How much does a Savage TT cost?

[Doug]

Doug

Thanks for the offer. I'm sure we'll get many offers (who wouldn't jump at the chance to drive a TT?) First we have to finish the truck, which is well on its way, then we'll build the team. And it DOES take a TEAM, as all of you already know. We're just excited at the thought of jumping in the mix with the big boys. Hell, I would love to sign myself up as one of the drivers, but I know there are so many more experienced drivers that I should stick to pit duty until I get a lot more seat time in actual races.

[obr184]

How much does a Savage TT cost?

600 turn key

[ASHCRAFT]

600 turn key

Waaay off. Try half that for BJ's truck.

[MikeLeung]

Doug

Mike...he said a "well known" driver....LOL

[Goober]

Okay I could see $300K but not double that.

[MikeLeung]

We were quoted $300-$350 K minus motor, tranny, plumbing and wiring from SPD.

[bcampbell04]

i also heard $600,000. that is turn key, complete truck ready to race

[mmr1]

We were quoted $300-$350 K minus motor, tranny, plumbing and wiring from SPD.

then add $100 - $150k for the rest of the goodies... Don't think it's too far fetched for someone to spend upwards of $500k for a truck. In any case, TT's are well out of my price range.

BTW, if you that live in or around Phoenix, be sure to check out the new Geiser Bros. shop. It's the S#@%!

[Goober]

Someone said a Geiser ready to race with everthing was in the $250-$300K range. Seems to me a better deal.

[mmr1]

Trust me, they start at $300k and go upwards from there. Just ask Pete Sohren...

[BANNED4LIFE]

i know they go up with every win/championship, but i dont know how much right now, wins at vtr or primm will drive it up more!!!!

[DavyD]

What's the new HMS TT going for?
Looks to me like it would be a better deal.

http://hermanmotorsports.com/buildN.htm
D

[nelson979]

giesers 375 k

[DustyFilm]

giesers 375 k

And worth every penny!

[Goober]

Wow they went up fast. At San Felipe they said a race ready truck was from 250-300K.

[younggunracer]

Cost of a turn key truck can vary alot. Depending on shock choice, engine, tranny, rear end, spares, tires, fuel cell lights etc... all of those choices can make a big difference.

[GATRELL]

$300,000 plus just to go racing??? Off-Road? Not on my budget. I only hope that a fraction of that amount in a home built will at least keep them honest.......

[obr184]

Waaay off. Try half that for BJ's truck.

I know for a fact that it was 600k ready to race.

I am 100% sure that Brian Collins would know how much his trucks cost him(same as BJ's).

[bcampbell04]

ya, there trucks are expensive, but they are definitely performing. collins and bj baldwin have run awesome in them. they both won the first races the trucks ran. i heard the brakes on them are $12,000 a corner. wow.

[DUMP!]

i heard the brakes on them are $12,000 a corner. wow.

No, They're actually priceless. Because Brembo doesn't make them any more. Brembo sure has a nitch going. They sell you a caliper then discontinue what they sold you so you can't get replacements. So then you buy there "New" caliper. Wonder how long the "New" calipers will be available?????

Dump

[partybarge_pilot]

How about an RG copy?

[mexracer10]

Wow any more info???? on truck

[Goober]

Okay to clear up any confusion I talked to BJ and his TT cost $580K.

[younggunracer]

Wow 580k, yea whoever said 600k was way off! lol

[Dez_Annihilation]

Man those cardboard bulk-heads sure look heavy-duty!!! :)

[Russ Florance]

The Demore truck is not being built by Geiser's, it is being built by Albert McMullen of MCM Motorsports. It will be more of a mid-engine truck. A lot of the parts that were designed by Albert are being built and supplied by Danny Fodrill (hubs, arms, spindles ect). Lot of new "trick" stuff. Truck should be done by end of October/first of November.

[PMAZ7]

Is that the one I saw on Friday?

will he have 2 built by MCM? i heard they wanted to have a 3 TT team w/ the Dondel Truck and 2 others. can't wait to see it. i got to check out MCM's Geiser at the Cup, and it was awesome.

[Dezert Edge Racing]

speaking of the new truck: did they have some problems? I noticed that he was pretty slow compared to everyone else....


NICK

[bcampbell04]

ya, i think they had some motor problems all weekend. they just seemed under-powered in every heat

[Russ Florance]

Friday practice session the truck ran great. Then we went out Friday night in our heat race and after half a lap the tranny started going. Motor was running great but we could not put the power to the wheels. Took it out Saturday in practice to make sure that it was the tranny and it was, it blew up. Our great crew guys worked all day in the blazing heat and got it replaced with our backup. We went to the heat race Saturday night and were running in 2nd for about 3-4 laps, then the motor started to go, got passed by Alan P and limped it in for a respectable 3rd with a blown motor. The motor was an old Walker Evans one that was built as a back-up for the Baja 2K. We think it just sat around to long. It is a great motor with all the trick stuff, mostly NASCAR hard to get parts. It is currently being re-built and should come back with more HP. We were real pleased that the truck ran with the best of em (while it was 100%) and can't wait to get the motor back.

[Russ Florance]

Pete, that was Demore's truck you saw on Friday as well as a new 1/2 1600 being built for Dan Fann a well as 2 other new TT's.

Brandon, it is a wait and see with their second truck.
