Cool. Will this truck meet SCORE specs?

[prerunner75]

No, it will not. I am using 1.75 dia tube. I think the trophy class has to be 2'' in dia tube. It going to be on the light side for weight for the dunes.

Planning on making it a 2 seater or a 3 seater like the Colorado Sand Truck?

[prerunner75]

Making it a 3 seater. Need room for my daughter to ride with me and the wife railing the dunes. It will have a power plant of ( 509 big block turbochargered with about 1400 hp. I have the motor and it make 1600 hp right now will de-tune it a little for the dunes. It going to be a buggy eater at the sand drags. It will be running on pump fuel to.)

With that amount of power I don't think you'll need paddles, you'll need landing gear instead. Nice build man, I have always preferred sand trucks to buggies. This will be a buggy eater for sure. Good luck on the build and I'll be checking in to see the progress and photos...
