Plug "N" Play, Details

The Gods are in the details
Nov 1, 2008

As we so eloquently pointed out in the last issue of Dirt Sports (if we can be so bold), veteran racers know that if it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done. And while we aren't exactly at the "last minute" in terms of racing time, with just a little under two months left on the countdown to the Baja 2008 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, the pressure of completing our new Project Plug 'n' Play Alumi Craft is now being felt by everyone involved in making it all come together.

It's comparable to hitting a buzzer-beater three pointer. Sinking a 40-foot putt to make birdie.

If anything, nobody in the off-road or publishing world can accuse us of being lazy, short sighted or unwilling to take on the big challenges. And, there is no other testament to this magazine's spirit than the absolutely incredible Ford Bronco pre-runner you see before you.

GEARING UP our Mendeola S5D with weddle industries & Rancho Performance
Sep 1, 2008

At some point in any automotive project, there comes a time when the endless planning, the online research and the endless daydreaming come to a halt. Nothing gets built without putting the Coors Light-flavored BS aside and getting down to work.
