    Re: Dirks & Porter TT

    One of my most memorable Robby moments was from that race with this truck. I was at the old road crossing and everybody was taking it easy, until that red white and green truck came blasting down the course. He hit that jump at full throttle and flew about 150ft PAST the road, it was awesome. That's still one of my all-time favorite trucks.

    One of my favorite trucks of all time. I was fortunate enough to ride in that beast with Robby back in 91. That truck was an ANIMAL. I personally that it was the coolest truck when he had the black Copenhagen sponsorship at the 93 Parker 400.

    i thought the guy who ran it under the Superknife sponsor was Tom Scalzo, or something like that...is there any news on them building another Geiser or any TT? i think they will have Geiser Pro 2s in time

    Re: Dirks & Porter TT

    From what I understand, its the original solid axle fully fabbed race truck, and lead to the trophy truck class in 95. It is still a monster, and D&P have it working better than ever, recently dynoed at 720 hp and now running a TH400 trans.

    Before D&P it was owned by Rob Scarla, the owner of Cutting Edge Mfg in Phx and the inventor and owner of Superknifes.com. Superknives was killed off by illegal chinese copies, like the Sheffield pos now sold in every home depot and Lowes. Anyway, Rob sold it to D&P around christmas last year.
