Alrighty, I've been asked by a few people to start a build thread for our new 4500 car, so figured this was as good a place as any. I've raced Ultra 4 / KOH for six years now after buying Jordan Townsend's 4500 car. We have had some success throughout the years, including the WIN in 4500 at this years King of the Hammers EMC. The 4580 has served me well but is certainly showing it's age, and after a pretty good tumble at Stampede this year, I know it's only gonna hold on so much longer. My good friend, club member, and the most talented fabricator I know, Jeremy Benson, has talked for a bit about building a race car for a few years now. I told him (asked him?) that when the time came, he was just going to have to build TWO cars. After racing NORRA and selling his Power Wagon dubbed the "Race Tractor", Jeremy decided it was time to get started. This is not his full time gig, so progress has been a little slow, but we're far enough now I figure it was time to post progress. I'll start here with a couple pics of Jeremy's race tractor, as well as the current 4580 car.
Racing is expensive, time consuming, and will for sure tell you who your real friends are in short order. I couldn't do any of this shit without my buddies who spent countless hours doing this with me. I also couldn't do it without the support of some sponsors:
Yukon Gear and Axle
Milestar Tires
Trailready Beadlock wheels
Masterpull Recovery Gear
Benson Metal Fab
Imagecraft Sign & Graphics
Comp Cams
FAST Fuel / Air / Spark
HP Tuners
ARB
Vision X
PRP Seats
Rugged Radios
Off the Grid Surplus
5zero3 Designs
Redhead Steering Gears
and the guys at my shop, Auburn Car Repair & Offroad
