The off-road team started about four years ago when I was down at Ensenada, Mexico, to watch Rob Mac and my friends from Rock Star Energy race the Baja 1000. This was my first up close experience to trophy truck racing and since that moment my wheel started to spin. I called up Adam to set up a team and we started building a car.
Tell us a little bit about the truck, what improvements did you add for this year?
The truck is a 6100-spec Baja Trophy truck. For this year the regulations granted us a little bit more freedom. We’re allowed to run a (General Motors) LS3-engine producing 525bhp, which bumps us up a significant 100 horsepower compared to last year. On top of that for this year we’re allowed to run a 40-inch tire, another big improvement compared to last year when we were only allowed a 37-inch tire. These two combined have really transformed the vehicle.
