Welcome from a fellow DFW gun hobbyist, off-roader and off-road/desert-racing fan! Dust to Glory is one of my favorite movie documentaries. Also had the distinction of meeting Ivan Stewart in person when he came to the Toyota Trail Riders Jamboree at TMTC's OHV park in Gilmer a few years back.

That's awesome! I'd love to meet Ivan. I've had the displeasure of talking with Robby Gordon a few times. I don't even wanna get in to that. There would be a few expletives. All I'll say is he is a real jerk, and that doesn't even touch the surface of him. :rules: Have also spoke with BJ Baldwin, he was pretty nice.

Also, thanks for the welcome!

Thanks! I'm up in NRH pretty often, visiting the R&R guys. I'll talk to the owner and see if he wants to open up another credit line.

Never met Robby Gordon, but I heard the same thing from another desert racing fan who has - lol.

Anyway, can't believe I forgot to ask your racing team's name and class y'all race in. I became a fan when I lived in the Imperial Valley for a few years in the mid-90's, and would see the San Felipe 250 racers at the Calexico/Mexicali Port of Entry, not to mention all the prerunners and decked-out race-suspension vehicles practicing and having fun at Glamis.

Team name is Lunn Motorports, and we race truck TT53 in the Trophy Truck class (actually Trick Truck, because SCORE owns the rights to the term Trophy Truck, but same thing).

That's awesome. At one point in time a number of years ago, a guy named Rich and I hosted a group of like-minded desert racing enthusiasts from the DFW area at the Pappas BBQ in Dallas to see if we could organize some kind of Texas-based racing. After researching the insurance liability costs and requirements, it kind of fell by the wayside. But a few years after that Texas began hosting some races out West. Do y'all ever do any Texas races? If so, and if you ever need any make-shift pit-stop booger welds, let me know - lol.

Thank you, You really aren't far away. I'm actually in the Rendon area, just about a mile or so from Alpine Gun Range.

Another good place for skeet shooting. I'm in Arlington about seven miles from it.

We don't rally do any of the Texas races. We used to, to get experience, but now we mainly only do the BITD series. We might do a Texas race this year though

Yeah, I try to go atleast once a month. It gets hard with all of my hobbies though.
