555 "Black Betty"

Its hard to get people to do the things they say they are going to do. Even when they are being paid.
Its so rampant in motorsports.

Lances IFS cruiser is for sale as well $100k. Says he has $140 in it. Im 100% sure he got a lot of items gratis/trade/heavily discounted cause he was pirate4x4.

Ive seen Napiers invoice (minus a lot of hard parts) and that car will be $250k done.

Those prices are drops in the bucket if you actually plan to race them.

He was an accounting auditor for PriceWaterhouseCoopers in Sydney, then transfered to their LA office (my wife is in their Houston office). He quit a few months ago to do his own thing supposedly. When I asked him on the phone what hes going to do he said "BN Motorsports" I laughed, but he sounded dead serious he was going to fulltime try to race, sponsorship, etc... I asked him "no really" and he said really.

I know he's from a wealthy family in Australia, they own a good sized and very successful vineyard Wombat Crossing. So maybe they are helping him fund this thing. I dont know. Or maybe when he left PwC he took his 401k and didnt roll or reinvest it and spent it on racecar.....
 
I barely remember when wheeling was only about a clapped out booger welded hooptie and a few 30 packs of shaken up beer.

This Ultra 4 **** is outta control and IMO at the top of it's lifespan. It won't be too many more years and nobody will be able to continue to afford it

;D

Very thankful I was able to end my addiction. My family life and work life have both prospered. Helped me realize what is really important.
 
Rec wheeling still happens everywhere all over. All of you guys have been on the cutting edge of crawling/racing the past few years. Thats whats awesome.
Props to Joel, Matt, Nolen for being able to do it and then step back. Now Kelly has a buggy maybe he'll take me rec wheeling, like I used to take him...hint hint :afro:

Ultra4 is the pinnacle of the crawling world. I have no aspirations to go be that hard on my junk ever again. This :afro: does not possess patience in the rocks.

What I want to do, is go race 3-4 offroad/desert races a year here in Texas (local) and be the best here. So when someone thinks about coming to race in Texas they think, **** I got to beat Wyatt. Versus the oh **** we are racing in Johnson Valley, we got to beat 30 guys that have lived in JV their entire life.
 
The racing is something I am glad I did for myself. It's a life experience that I enjoyed for a few years. I will still race ecors, but the ultra4 stuff is out of the common mans budget, unless he lives to race. Taking a step back after racing has made trail riding that much more fun for me. Not to mention trail riding my new buggy is comfy as hell and rides like a caddy. thumb.gif
 
My buddy Barry is loving the Texas desert racing. That is a place I am dying to get to one day.

140k for EZs rig.....wow.

250k for that other one? Insane.

I drove my 97 Cruiser with 37's to and from Hot Springs and put about 60 miles on it in 4low. Had a ball.

I still love it. I just don't live it anymore.
 
I miss wheeling and racing ( what little tiny bit I did get exposed to ) but cant even and dont want to try to spend the kind of money I was wheeling heavily like I did in 08-09. Ive followed suit with alot of guys. Going back to the roots of when its easy and I can go, I do. Be it with someone else's rig or in the small tire one locker class laughing1
 
I am one lazy turd :popcorn:

I havent done **** on this expensive garage jungle gym since before our last LeMons race. LAME!!! My firesuit was still draped on it to dry from that rain'capades event.

Bitch is gone!

Sending her out west 'cause she wants to be a cowboy baby! Ridin' all night cause she sleeps all day!
Having someone with mucho more experience building racecars that finish races and finish them well. Makes my fab work look one step above rookie fab. And gets it done. I dont have the time, and frankly I havent been making the time. So time to man up, call in support, and get this thing moving.

Oh, no pics, but I had to strap the 'glass to her for transport. FULL CHUB!!! I'll snap those when I unload in a few weeks.
 
Gone to be finished, not gone as in sold. :dblthumb:

Target is have all parts on site by KOH, and assembly starting shortly after. Hope to have it done by mid/late summer, tested and tuned before Speedweek. And race it in the Sept, Ultra4 championship in Blackwell, TX for its 1st event.

Thats certainly the plan. Lets see if everything goes along as planned. :popcorn:
 
:fish: Whos finishing it out ? Good call man, this things been lingering to long ! I want to swing off your sweaty balls :tc
