Very tough and rugged event in Nevada but what a race for Rob "Rough Rider" MacCachren. Even for off-road racing in Nevada the next year in 1995, Las Vegas Motor Speedway arrived when the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut thanks to Jim Smith who founded the Truck Series. And then the drag strip later debuted in 2000 outside the Speedway where Pro Stock Truck were Drag Racing such as Bob Panella Jr. and Larry Kopp. But as for the great view of the Hoover Dam, many people have seen the F1 Powerboats race on Lake Mead almost 30 years ago remembering the Seebold family racing there. Bill, Mike, and Tim.
I had the pleasure of meeting Jon, no one else knew who he was. Of course, I felt in the presence of royalty knowing the background of Nelson & Nelson Racing....such a nice guy.
I find it amazing that the first new design wasn't banned.Here in New Zealand I came up with a radical new speedway car back in the late 70's. It was showing it to the oppostion so they changed the rules after 2 yrs and got rid of it, along with other ones being built. By the way, I also ran #82.
Not sure exactly what the rulebooks said but 'Tiny' wasn't a big enough change in certain ways to justify a rule change, because the other rock crawlers had custom roll cages, but many of the utilized factory frame rails from Jeeps and Toyotas.
Tiny, with it's Type1 VW engine got everyone's attention. I think Scrapper had a 3L type 4. I also think Jon was the first one to introduce filling the front tires with water.
@@bradywilliams2666 In just hard costs, it's probably less than 30k if you bought everything new... Tubing, a vw motor, trans, looks like I saw a transfer case, shocks, wheels, tires, guages, and a few other bits and bobs... If you do the work yourself and buy used, I bet you could do it less than 15. I just need some plans. I can weld and build stuff, but I have no idea how to build a tube buggy and get the geometry right. Bare bones basic, but very capable.
@@Chris-zo5ze Fabbin 801 sells a weld together kits and welded chassis. Cheapest is $3200. It cost me about $10k to build my CJ buggy thing back in 2008-11. Doing all the work myself including building the frame and cage. This was used parts mixed with new when I had to. Now everything is more expensive.
It's always nice to see CORR footage from the 2000s resurface. I hope the door is open for some full broadcasts from this era to be uploaded one day. RIP Rick Huseman. It was a lot of fun watching him duke it out with Carl Renezeder, Johnny Greaves, Scott Douglas, and the LeDucs among others. The competition was so close back then.
Copyright law used to work where anything about 30 years old or more automatically enters the public domain and can be used by any one for any purpose. Hopefully that policy returns one day and applies to TV broadcasts. It would allow all the great events and shows from the past to always be accessible to all.
God I want these days back. Toyota was killing it in offroad, Kusters were the shock of choice, and offroad racing was mainstream. I've met Ivan many times, met Rod McCachren a few times (tree bar in Primm, lol) and it's just not the same anymore.
There is one Video Game that was the best off-roading game I ever played that was on PS2 and Xbox from 2000 to 2001 that has similar Trucks that were based on the same thing. 4X4 Evolution 1 and 2. Ivan Stewart's Black BF Goodrich Toyota of 1998, and Larry Ragland's Trailblazer owned by Herzog.
