Contest: Building the “World’s Fastest” Downhill EVO!!
Built for the 2010 Summer Smash in Rhode Island – Downhill Challenge Race
What started out as an engineering challenge for us, we have found out this baby is too low to the ground and will not fit on the standard downhill track.
So I’ll personally build another one with a lot of cutting and adjusting, and hopefully with enough ground clearance to make it to the finish line.
1st Place for this Summer Smash Downhill Challenge will be this original EVO built for the race! A 1′ off EVO SS with the CNC’d Brass Rims, plus a Pre-production EVO “BIG TOW”
Rules are: Anything goes as this race is the “World’s Fastest Challenge”
But- The vehicle must be technically altered and cannot be stock. Technically altered mean it must be drilled out with some form of modification for speed.
4 more days, so here’s the entry #1 for me. but another version being built tonight w/o a body!

LMAO!!! yes, I know it’s gonna be tough and someone will win the prizes offered!! BUT, this will be lots of fun! I get to test out the brass wheels. I finished the 1st version with a modified body, and I’m building a second version without the body, because the body might still be too wide. I’ll upload some pic… of the 1st version
