Camburg built KINETIK 7200/6 truck for TSA Motorsports

[Jerry Zaiden]

Only truck ive heard under 4000lbs are the mason trucks.. Most are WELL over 4000 pounds..

From what I can see and what I am told the trucks are more than 4000 lbs on race day. Closer to 4500 or slightly over is what I am told and from what I can see would make sense.

The truck TLR built for competitive metals weighs in under 4000

Now you saw this is on digital scales zeroed out with a full tank of gas, spare parts, tools, etc, etc...? I would say closer to 4200-4500...

SCORE need to up the weight limit to 4500LBS for Class 6/7200 with 1 3/4 tubing. its to hard to make the 4000lbs limit when building a truck. At 500hp v6 and 4500lbs or less is plenty safe. 5000 lbs i can see the 2" tubing.

Didnt Hogan get DQ at the 1000 2 year ago for racing his Mason 7200 v6 truck in trophy truck because it was 1 3/4 tubing and it was over weight or was that rumor?

I didn't say that, I just said it was weighed at under 4000 don't know what was in the truck or what not. For BAP maybe, for the 1000 probably not???? I do know it had 2 people in it though.

BTW the camburg truck is great looking truck

I agree but will take it a step further. SCORE needs to not worry about mandating a roll cage size. They need to "Recommend" a roll cage size. Remember with how SCORE MANDATES the size they only MANDATE a basic design. I feel they should have MANDATED a way better design before tube size.

Not sure on this.

There is a ton of hear say when it comes to weights of trucks, we have built many and helped out with many builds so from experience we know what they weigh. I will never believe it when someone says there 37" tire, 3.5" by-pass shocks or larger, 60 gallons or more of fuel, 125" long 85" wide truck is under 4000 lbs. lol

And thank you!

I think the only truck that would fall into that category would be Ivan's truck, minus the 3.5's of course.........

I do believe that the new rulebook from SCORE that I read did say that it is to be weighed without fuel. Under 4000 lbs without fuel can be done and I know of at least one of our trucks that is under that mark. This is with 2.0 coil over 3.0 bypass and very minimal extras on the truck. It is easy to add weight to these things and if your not careful you are over that mark. Which is why we now build the mandatory tubes out of 2". I know that Caspino's truck was weighed at the race in laughlin 2010 on Savage's scales and weighed 3840 lbs but there have been lots of changes to the truck since then and would no longer make the 4000 lbs mark which is why it was converted to 2". I would say Dave's truck with a full tank of gas ready to race with two spare tires, tools, spare driveshaft, front lights is closer to 4500 lbs.

So when do you think the first race will be?

Thanks for clearing that up. I tried calling you earlier to find out what the weight was but I guessed pretty close

Not sure exactly. We have a few new things to finalize in the design then we will be putting some tube together. We hope to have the new truck in our Both at Expo as a roller. Stay tuned!
