It does make since to build a truck to run multiple classes if possible. For now my kids are young and the family trips are a big part of the trucks future too. I built a full size Xcab and the roll cage to be able to bolt in a bench seat for the kids when not on race duty. I have raced everything from motocross to shifter carts but never this sorta racing. While the kids are young, racing will be a "when we can" situation and as they get older, it will be a "It will be a I will be at every race" situation.
I think it makes since to get my feet wet in the 2000 class and then as the family and cash permits, I will decide where to go from there. Im trying to build the truck with the best parts I can afford so it is as reliable as possible. I know I will be out-gunned anyway due to the lack of a motor rule for the class as I cant afford a 20k dollar motor it would take to keep up with the LS3 minis... BUT as I said, Im in it for the experience for both me and the family as they are all as excited about it as I am. We get out there and do our best to finish the race and its a win in my books. I will just have to ignore the roost from the turbo charged ranger that is roosting me from 100 yards.
BUT, as the truck sits, if there is a better option you guys feel I can turn towards let me know. I have the deavers now but dont mind switching things up as long as its not a complete truck swap

. Tons of time in this thing as you guys know and I will see it to the end. its getting turned around this next week after I finish up the front. I just have to send the steering box off to get the stops build in, bump stop install and its ready for the rear. Let me know if Im on the right road for where I am in life and build! Sorry for the wall of text hope you got to this point!
