Title: Team Spokane, Spokane,WA
Post by: rangermike on March 16, 2009, 05:44:21 PM

Hey guys my name is mike from Spokane WA, I haven't got a solid YES from anyone to be my co-driver yet so ill be sure to introduce him/her when i have one. I will also have an official team name when i get all my final sponsors.

A little about myself, I'm 22 originally from kennewick WA, but moved up here to Spokane about a two years ago. Ive been into the off road scene since i was 14, building baja bugs and sandrails. I built my first crawler at the age of 16, it was a 93 ford ranger (standard 44front 9'rear, and a doubler).
Last year i bought a samauri buggy chassis, and built it.

Specs are passenger side drop HP ford 60 stuffed with 5:13s a detroit and 35spl chromos.
a welded 9' in the rear, 3 link front, inverted 4link rear. etc.

My race rig will be a 1986 samauri that i built in the winter of 2008 for the W.E. rock stock modified class.

Specs on it are toyota axles f/R both with toyota e-lockers, 4:10s, yj springs, 6:5 t-case gears, driveline disconnect, etc, etc.

Things that i will be changing will be, lose the driveline disconnect (just one more thing to break, that will not be needed), Change out the missing link front shackle for a standard shackle, more tube and gussets on the cage, and relocate the shocks f/r. Replace the plastic bucket seats with suspension seats. I'm sure that theres alot more that needs to be done but thats the start of the list.

Hey Guys,

You sure did miss out! :) I have a good feeling that this Labor Day race is going to happen so if your rig is close, please push through and come on out. I think you'll have a good time.
