Wow my friend and I got a class 9 to race in the new texas racese, but don't have no clue what we are doing.LOL!  WE both have raced road, dirt, and water, but never desert. Our 1600 eng is in about two billion peices and we need help. I think our first race will end up being legas to reno LOL! WOW what a way to learn. Please anyone help. I don't know what kind of help, so all help. Mail me or drunk call me at 832-326-6312. Thanks I hope to have pics up soon. We don't want to win"Ya right" We just want some tips for getting through the race in one piece.

First, I would do some research and print out the different class 9 series rules, this will serve as your best guideline to putting the car back together. Next would be finding  a motor builder that knows the class, there are many lil secrets they use to assemble the motors, Southern Arizona Limited is a good sourse on this, however a turn key motor will cost ya.. but worth every penny.  then speak with the chassis / front end people, although I have not used Doug Silcock myself, I am told he is the sourse for the right front end parts. I use Southern Arizona Limited , for this as well and Brent McKee built  my front end and I havent had one even come close to failing, so there are two good sources for the front ends...both very similar BTW. Put it all together, shake real well and go drive....  Oh ya welcome to the insanity!!!!

What part of texas?

There are races  in your part of the world also. Go to Texasoff-road.com. I will probably hit the race in October in Notrees.

When I moved to San Felipe, Baja I had never raced off road before.  I had years of experience in road racing and knew absolutely nothing about off road racing.  I located a team in San Felipe with a 5-1600 car and I joined that team as a helper/mechanic/chaser and that's how I learned off-road racing.
