I have been a observer and fan in the Off-Road Community for a few years now as a Photographer. I see talk and announcements about Toyota this and Ford that etc.. etc. I also see logos of the Truck Manufacturers all over the place but I do not see a class of pure stock, off-the-assembly line pick up trucks so that Ford, Dodge, Chevy, Toyota, Nissan, etc. trucks could compete UNMODIFIED (with the exception of roll bars and safety equipment) in head to head competition with their own crews and "Factory Drivers". I have heard of "Factory Programs" in the past and of Factory support and the lack of it now. I may be totally naïve, but why is a class like this, not feasible?
Could you imagine what it would be like to see manufacturer trailers and their respective support crews roll into the Mint 400 or the Baja 500 loaded with a few trucks each as part of their Product Development programs? Can you imagine the Marketing and Advertising advantages they could gain in participating in this class, let alone the bragging rights?
With the multiple sanctioning bodies like SCORE, BITD etc. out there why don't we have a class like this?
