    Question Skilton in 7200

    Is Darren racing the Kia TT now converted into a Jeep? Or the Class 3 that was raced during the 1000?

    7208
    Darren Skilton (41) Long Beach, CA,
    Troy Johnson (40) Riverside, CA,

    Jeep

    American Racing Wheels, ATK Engines, Gearhead, BFGoodrich, Neo Oil, K&N Filters, Transaxle Engineering, Jeep Speed, Eibach Springs

    Sidenote - 19 7200's! Nice...I think Class 6 will get there with these numbers.

    Since he's racing with Troy, I would say it's the Kia/Jeep. That thing is the perfect 7200 truck.

    I spoke with Troy earlier in the week and it is definately the Jeep/Kia. Very cool single seat rig and it should kick butt in 7200.

    That's kinda what I figured but I thought it was too wide for 7200.

    Thanks...

    Re: Skilton in 7200

    Im pretty sure it was a new chassis, not the KIA.....2 seat jeep, mostly tube chassis. I know Skilton was having the tin done at Twisted Tin a couple months back. I was told it was a 7200, but I could be wrong.

    ....If it is the KIA, then I am a little nervous lol. Running against that in class 6 would be interesting. BRING IT
