Dennis, I would love to get in contact with you about these trucks. I have wanted to build mine into a runner for a long time now and I have so many questions. Who made the custom fenders? What were you guys doing for a rear end? What was your suspension set up in the front end most importantly?? I know to get any real travel numbers you guys definitely did not keep the torsion front end but was it converted to a different production vehicle or was it fabbed? If I could somehow get some contact info from you, I’d love to talk your ear off for a little bit. Thanks

Hi, I glad to see some old photos of the good old days. I was part of the Glen Harris / California Gold Race Team. Prior to that i was employed at North American Racing “RACECO” with David Kreisler & Marty Letner.

I was a fabricator on the team for the first couple of years after Glen took over the program from Walker Evans. I worked with Nye Franks shop along with George, Marty, Phill and a few others to build/test the Mazda race trucks and we raced on the Mickey Thompson Stadium Racing circut at that time.

I miss to days. Wow how time flys ! Im alway looking back from time to time and didn’t know how good i had it and how lucky i was to be a part of off-road racing and how much we changed it.

I will bookmark your site and sometime down the road see if i can add some pic’s of to the site.

Best Regards
“O.P.” Dennis Ray
