I'll contingency tech it on Fri. I'll try to remember to get some pics. If not, I'll get some in race line up Sat morning. Looks like the three 4600 Broncos qualified top three.
Randy is running a new Bomber car in 4800, Legends class. He's done that before. Part of his business is building a new Bomber car, racing it at KOH, and then selling it. The Bomber chassis works good for 4800 and 4400, the only real difference is single shock and 37" tires for 4800.
They were...
For 4600 class the axles are open, which includes the knuckles. Many of the Jeep 4600 cars have Dana 60's front and rear which includes D60 outers and knuckles. Some have Spidertrax housings and knuckles with 35 spline axles and hubs. A few years ago Jesse Haines raced a Roxor and it had his...
Oh, and if anyone is interested, they should be qualifying today, Tues, during Power Hour which should be 4-5 pm Pacific time on ultra4live.com. Qualifying is on the short course and their time will determine the starting order.
I'll find out. I'll see them again doing contingency inspections on Wed, or I'll just go over to Bailey's tent and take another look if I get a chance. BTW, Bailey is going to take me for a ride on Sunday if the Bronco is still running after the race.
And, I don't have internet except early in...
The engine that came in the car is required, but there is no limit on engine modifications. Still, the 2.7 on premium gas and with a good tune, which no doubt Ford put on it, is not bad. I won the first 4600 National Championship in 2013 and we ran a 300 hp Jeep 4.0 stroked to 4.7 and built. The...
We did tech inspections on the three 4600 Broncos yesterday at KOH. Brad Lovell's, Loren Healy's, and Bailey Cole's. I was working on getting Sunday's desert race going and finishing tech on the trophy trucks, spec trophy trucks, and class 1 buggies and missed when Brad Lovell's Bronco came...
I'll be in the tech tent up until Tues, then Wed, Thurs, and Fri I'll be by PCI doing contingency tech inspections. Ask for Richard, one of the tech guys, and I always wear a yellow hat. I'll also be checking all the cars as they pull onto the course, next to the jumbotron, on Thurs, Fri and Sat...
The rear shock mounts go below the axle to allow for longer shocks without going up into the body. Also, it doesn't really matter since the lower mount is so close to the tire that clearance will rarely be a problem since the axle lifts up with the tire as the tire goes over a rock or rut. you'd...
Hey all, I'm happy to have you all over for a drink or beer one evening in the motorhome. Maybe Fri evening at the end of the EMC race. Post up if interested. I can keep an eye on this thread to try to stay in touch. I see a number of you are staying in tents, I have a 40 ft coach with a nice...
Thurs I'll be doing EMC contingency and Fri 4400 contingency. We have four inspection stops for contingency inspection and I'll be one of them. Should be easy to find. I'll also be doing equipment check in the morning as the cars are lined up to pull up to the starting line. Those two days the...
Did you guys get email from Bronco Nation regarding KOH? There is a designated Bronco camping area and there is free breakfast and dinner if you reserve it. I'm in staff camping and also get food, but I signed up for dinner Sat night just to go over there.
Wonder what the definition of "you should be fine" really is? You could drive your Bronco with 35's for it's entire life and not break anything, or you could decide to jam down a dirt road and hit a fun looking spot and break the thing next time out. 35's are on the edge for that axle, just be...
Would you have more than a week for the whole trip if you drove? A week will take up just driving there and back with just a touch of sightseeing. If you will be in Washington for a week, then definitely take the Bronco and go play and drive around in Sand Hollow, you'll be right there. Lots of...
I'm looking forward to getting a good look at these 4600 Broncos. If you guys are there Sat morning, Loren Healy has a tech appt first thing Sat morning. Head over to the Tech Tent for a close look around 8:30. OH, and I got a build date today!
I'm leaving Wed morning, start full days of doing...
I'm mostly interested in being able to research routes in a new area, and then be able to find it and stay on it. I'm in a phase of trying to go to new places where I haven't been before, and want to find potential routes before I get there.
