Well someone had to have my beloved Beer Hauler more than me. So after delivering the old girl to its new owner in Phoenix and having the guy who built it completely go over it...it is gone. Very sad. The Beer Hauler was a very cool Class 8, and I am hoping to see it in the dez soon at NORRA and/or the Mint.
Now the NEW stuff. I struck up a conversation with a guy in Saskatoon Canada who had a complete Raceco for sale. How does a CL10 Raceco end up in frozen central Canada? No clue.
So to not bore everyone with all of the particulars, I bought it. Ok, I lied...I will bore you with the fact that the guy drove 14 hours from Saskatoon in a rented truck to meet me in Rexburg Idaho. It didn't run worth a chit during my 'demo' drive, but I wanted the Raceco and really didn't want to be a dique. Rexburg is exactly 14 hours from my place in So Cal. Minor drama getting it home, but it made it.
At first I was thinking of racing it as it was. Toyota 22r engine, bus box, 14 shocks, etc. But...I couldn't. It just wasn't me and as much as I love the Raceco, I need to update it to make it mine. So the journey begins.
Follow along if you are interested.
