The Mad Hatter 1950 mud racer

[GBM]

I built a truck to race last year and stepped away as the driver. My 16 y/o daughter wanted to race. She did really well piloting our 1990 454ss mud racer.

.

so after about 14 1st place finishes and 10-14 2nd place finished, she ended her season on top; the "girl" to beat in the mens and womens classes.

This year she needed a faster truck and with rule changes a different truck was in order.

Last year she ran a 5.07 sec through 200' of mud, 3-4 feet deep.

This years truck, she chose one of my 47-53 model trucks I have sitting behind my shop. This one I bought online with only the pictures shown. I literally drug it out of the woods after cutting the tree out of the bed.

I used a 78 cehvy frame and shortened it down to 122" wheelbase. then we stripped the old cab from its original frame and set it on this 78 frame.



my daughter does a lot of the work on the truck, she feels that it brings her closer to the truck and allows them to communicate better while she races.
