It's 9:10 California time with 50 minutes until racing officially ends. No one across the finish line yet. They're hoping that Randy Slawson crosses the line in time so there can be at least one finisher/winner. Someone miscalculated this course layout.

Harrison landed his Aviat Husky (N89HU) on taxiway Charlie about 8 years ago at KSNA (John Wayne Airport). Partial Radio communication with KSNA TOWER. HARRISON: "Yeah for 89HU was that airliner meant to be underneath me holding short just on short final?" KSNA TOWER: "N9HU negative, he's...

I stand corrected: TT lug pattern is and has been 6 on 6.5.

This is an Unlimited Spec. race truck (a Trophy Truck with limited displacement/horsepower engine) entry running sealed Chevy LS3 525HP motor, 8 into 1 exhaust, Turbo 400 Trans with underdrive. Most run a 10" third with jumbo 36 spline, 2-5/16" dia. 300m axle shafts. Wheel bolt pattern is...

...And no SEMA show for Ford Motor Co. this year either.

I only have a cursory understanding of the current Ford V8 offerings. Which V8 would be the best fit for the Bronco? I know the Coyote V8 has very wide physical dimensions because of the DOHC design. Would it physically fit the Bronco engine bay?

Why would anyone do that to an old historical race truck? I would spend that $1.7million on two state of the art Mason AWD trophy trucks with 1100hp big block power plants and go racing. It would certainly be alot more fun than getting thrashed around in an old 1970's off-road racing dinosaur...

I will love to see what you and the guys at Whipple come up with for the 392Rubicon and the numbers it puts down. I've installed 2 whipple kits in the past. Whipple's kits are very complete down to the hose clamp.

There were sure alot of Jeep Gladiators (group of 20) on John Bull trail in Big Bear two weekends ago looking like they were having alot of fun. Thankfully my group of 2 came upon them at the end of the trail and not the beginning. I was impressed how well the long wheelbase Gladiators...

Whoever is responsible for pushing Jeep to produce the 392 Rubicon; All I can say is Thank You! The 392/Rubicon has been one of my funnest street legal vehicles to date; both on and off-road!! Something that not many seem to bring up in these us vs. them discussions, and is very appealing to me...

I love these: "this vs. that" videos and comparisons. Which is better? Which is better for what? What is the mission for your vehicle?

My understanding is, a few years ago, Ford was paying out decent contingency money for winners in Trophy-Truck (Trick-Truck) with Ford badging and Ford resembling bodies. So, the racers all wanted "Raptor" bodies and that's what the fiberglass guys built their molds around.

Both Luke and Bryce were in Mason Motorsports all wheel drive trophy trucks. Luke's truck is powered by a Kroyer 1100HP/ 555 Cu.In. Big Block Chevy. Not sure what engine package Bryce is running but probably 1100HP Big Block Chevy also. A Ford trophy truck is like a chupacabra...they don't...

Very nice ride! It doesn't get much better than that! 392 Rubicon and never look back.

I had a 2017 Raptor with the 3.5 twin tubro Ecoboost. The engine compartment was properly rigged and cleanly laid out . It did not have that "mess of spaghetti" Bronco engine compartment appearance. What the heck, Ford?
