Yeh there are a few things that will need to be changed mainly just for strength. I was Blown away at how much power this thing had of the mark.
Stability was awsum travel was good power was never an issue.
So all in all i was happy with the way it went the placeing in TTC probably doesn't represent how good it was to drive and how capapble it was.
Lack of seat time and teamwork were our biggest disadvantage.But that willl all come ebfore next year and Paully will be there mixing it with the big boys.

Must say a big thanks to Paully for giving me the chance to compete in the truck and his family for there Hospitality made for an awsum weekend.

I think you will find that zookboy hasn't got that much experience yet.. give it time and I reckon he will be wheeling it hard.

As someone said on the weekend, you learn more being the spotter rather then the driver.
