Re: Thunderhill Raceway Photos
It's a pro touring truck which means it still street driven and passengers welcome. Need the seat for instructor ride alongs as well.
Nothing too exciting around here since you last stopped by. Going to do the motor swap after summer.

Re: Thunderhill Raceway Photos
How about that roll cage? What type of rear window? Does rain get in and does it vibrate on bumps? I'm thinking of doing the same thing but concerned about these issues being unavoidable...
PS: Your truck looks a lot flatter in the turns than mine does!

Re: Thunderhill Raceway Photos
I don't drive my truck in the rain anymore if I can avoid it so no worries for me. The rear window is lexan and you can add some rubber gasket material to seal around the rear extensions to seal out water. The roll cage will transmit road noise. I have it tied in pretty well to the chassis and cab so it doesn't squeak nearly as much as other cages that aren't anchored to the cab.
My advice is just if you want to keep your truck mostly a street truck, DONT go in the direction of my truck. I would suggest only a main hoop and rear extensions unless of course you plan on doing track days often. Not only will you improve safety you will stiffen the chassis considerably.

Re: Thunderhill Raceway Photos
The truck looks great Adam but you should have called me it was my day off. Are you going to take it out to the hill climb this year or is there something last minute to keep you from going out? You aren't going to swap motors at the 11th hour are you?

Re: Thunderhill Raceway Photos
Not going to the hill. Feel free to call me to discuss why. I'll be at the 2 day SCCA event at RFR on Sept 14/15.
The motor is a fall/winter project. I'll be taking the motor down to RPM for an engine dyno session.
How's your truck coming along? Will you be ready in 2 weeks?
