I just wanted to say congratulations to Dave and his entire team for their class 7200 series win. I was glad to see you at the finish line in Henderson after hearing about the crash. You guys are always tough and that truck is amazing. We had a blast mixing it up with you all year. Nice work!!!

All of you have been there. I have dreamed of running the Baja 1000 my entire life. After growing up riding dirtbikes and racing a little motocross, the Baja 1000 sat on a pedestal. To me it was the pinnacle of offroad motorsports and something I could only dream about. I told myself that...

I bought our 7200 truck from Gary Turner about a year ago. We have had our share of lessons as we have learned how to both drive and prep the truck. For the Silver State 300 our team finally came together and pulled out a win. What a great race! This was my co-rider and I’s first solo race...

Draw it up! CAD drawing, cardboard cutout, photo, napkin, whatever. We plan on bringing a large enough generator to do some actual cutting at Primm. The system will be cutting out a BITD logo or something unless you need parts cut. If you need brackets or tabs or anything else, then just...

Here are some pictures of the truck just before we loaded it on the trailer. We picked it up from Shaffer's last night. It hit the road this morning. New body, bumpers, relocated transmission cooler, new lights, relocated spare tires and jack, straightened rear axle housing, straightened and...

We will be headed down to Henderson tomorrow for our first race in our new (new to us) Class 7 truck. Our truck is actually Craig Turner's old Class 7 rig. A little bit nervous about mixing it up with the big boys in Race #3. We could not be any more excited. All of my experience has been in...

My real name is Bill Kunz and I own Torchmate CNC Cutting Systems. I have run a couple of desert races this year in the Shaffer's Offroad Jeepspeed. My first race was Vegas to Reno. I also ran the Silver State race in Mesquite. I have to admit that I have fallen in love. I have been rock...
