Um i went to some dirt drags out near kihikihi on sat. A farmer opened up a paddock which maize had been taken off and made up a track and things. They had a drag strip, track and mudbog (i was the only vehicle that went in lol)
They had 4 classes of racing, cars/4wds, farm bikes, dirt bikes under 250cc and dirt bikes over 250cc.
I ran against the cars/4wds, there were about 8 cars entered 3 that were 4wd. I was winning until i raced a boy racer mitsy lanser gsr Awd turbo with heaps of engine mods lol but still did well. My skid is in the burnout thread

well heres some build pics. Not too bad for a weekend
Mounted motor, half of the seat and started cage. After spending 2 hours on the last 2 bits of tube moving them to different spots and constantly redoing notches and stuffing them up, i decided to give it a rest for today.

Would the exhaust be strong enough to survive a roll over?

well went up ahipara for a little trip was great fun and managed to role my truck for the first time ever and roled 4 times aswell. had a role cage and full harnesses so all was well. before i even left my house my truck fell off my trailer so had a little hasle getting it back on as it was sitting on its axles. called the nabour and he just cracked up but he came over with his tractor and bailed me out.few pics of the damage here. lost the windscrean and it was a nightmare on the sanddunes i couldnt see half the time with all the wind and sand flying around the track on the left is the one i roled on i was coming down i was stradleing a rut and the back wheel went in and then it was all over.

Thats funny. (only cause no one got hurt)How did you drop it off the trailer
Dont tell me you missed driving on.How did the cage hold up to the roll over? The bend in the screen frame further convinces me that mine will be exo'd.

i loaded the truck on the trailer on a bit of a slope and the boards were wet and slippery and it had no sides so i went on and then realised i wasnt that straight so i tryed to straighten it up and then both wheels slipped at the same time. the cage held up ok but it did move abit as it has no cross braceings on the main hoop but i just need to straighten it out some how and then weld some braceings in then she will be sweet.
