TPM is excited to start the new class 10 car and we will keep updating the progress as it happens. We have cleared out a new spot in the shop, have started collecting parts and the build is underway! This two seat unlimited car will be a fast, light, wild ride and we hope to put this new car on the podium right out of the box. We have been working with fabricator Scott Edwards of Perilous Customs to CAD design the new chassis and suspension parts. Look for more updates just after the MORE 500 race. HERE ARE PHOTOS FROM SCOTT @ PERILOUS CUSTOMS
The entire team has been going full speed ahead as we prepare for the MORE McKenzies 500 mile desert race in Lucerne Valley, CA. This will be the first race for the Class 5 unlimited with the new Ford Duratec 2.0 motor and we are very excited about the motor update. “The motor has a great power band and with the fuel injection setup we really have a big advantage” stated Duane McCreary. The TPM car is race ready and the crew starts the 18 hour drive this Saturday with the rest of the crew members flying in throughout next week. We plan on testing the car early in the week making shock adjustments because of the weight change to the car. We will spend all of next week out in the desert getting the car dialed in for the race and look forward to getting back to the dirt.
We would like to take a few seconds and thank some of our sponsors for this race. 2 MILLION DOGS is an amazing organization that focuses on canine cancer research and is no stranger to going the distance and being part of a winning team.
