Well, thats it. I hope you all liked the photo's. I would post more, but I took over 1000 pictures on my camera, and I think if I posted that many, some peoples computer might crash. Anyway, ENJOY!

Very cool dude! Those D60's look tiny on them. I LOVE that Willy's Coupe!

I totally agree about those tires. I was talkin to the guy who owned one of them, and he said he used bigger tires when he went on the trail with it. He said that those smaller tires do better on the road and have less noise.

Oh and you know those Scorpions had only little 4 cylinder Cummins in them! And the guy who owned on of them said he easily had enough power and torque from that little engine to go up the most insane grades on trail.

Do you any more pics of the 440 dodge? If so could you post them up.

Unfortunately, no. It left after the cruise around the park, so I was unable to get more pictures. Trust me, if I could have, I would have. ;-)

Wow, very neat pictures.

Thanks! And they were all taken with a camera with only 5.1 megapixels. Pretty good eh. (its because its a Nikon... Nikons are always the best "thumbsup";-))

Thanks for sharing! That convertable Mustang with the true flames is bad!

Dwaine and Sonni are still at it with those Scorpions?

I thought the lawyers had fixed that.

I take it you know the owners?

I know a great deal about the history of those rigs...not just Dwaine, Sonni, and Heath, but the entire story as to how those rigs ended up where they are and who's been taken for money along the way.

WOW! And I thought they were just based out of Tucson... I had know idea those rigs have been all over... huh! Learn something new everyday!

Preferred is based out of Tuscon.

The cars were originally built in Arkansas.

There's been a legal battle going on over those for a good, long while now.

I was actually referring to the axles. ;-) As for the engine, they were probably using the 4B, which was used in a number of commercial applications, mainly vans.

Oh ok. Hmmm, a sale gone bad?


Oh... *embarrased and confused look on face* I thought you meant tires... Man, I really need to learn more of the full size terminolgy. Does D60 mean Dana 60?

what are those blocks under the intake on the willys? ive never seen something like that before

those would the carbs or some weird form of fuel injection if you look you can see the fuel lines and linkages

Just real quick-If the one Scorpion did compete in the DARPA challenge, then it wasn't RC, it was autonomous. They were only allowed a radio control as a backup system if the sensors failed to navigate the truck by itself. If it was needed, it would have been operated by someone using a computer in a manned chase vehicle. But cool none the less!

Yes, D60 = Dana60... or you can call them Double-D30's "thumbsup"

Those are Predator Racing Carbs. "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

Well, SAME THING!!!! I meant that its basically a big version of our trucks in that you cant really sit in it, and it is driven indirectly by people or programming, from either remote or autonomous.
