Speed cars hit the assembly Line

@Sportin' Wood

Great meeting you today.

Now I understand your question about the cage after seeing the one at SEMA today under the lights. At SSSS when they unveiled the cars it was dark and I did not even see the extra joints added under the roof.

So yes they did change the cage. As such I don’t see it being legal for even super stock class with door bars added.

My apologies for the misinformation.

 

[JayBreww]

Wrap still looks like a toddler installed it....just like the one previously posted. They should give an option to not have any graphics installed if that's what its going to be.

Well it was done in Chyna, so that is possible.

Sorry I was so busy working all day and could not join you guys for lunch. Thanks for hanging out while I smashed a couple of burritos in my face.

We will do it again! I gotta work tomorrow for playing hooky today.

Fairly informative video, Todd talks about aftermarket, delivery, and also a pretty good background on himself as a racer and business man.

It's long, you could skip to around the 1 hour mark and he talks about the aftermarket and myths about not being able to make parts, around 1:20 he mentions how they are going to start delivering around Thanksgiving and how the real hard part will start then. Around 1:24 he talks safety, and how if you weld the bungs, add an aluminum roof and add a firewall it will be race legal. Not sure which class hes talking about as I don't think he specified.

Same here, 3am. Baby is sound asleep. I got a customer porting over phones this morning for RingCentral at 8am so thats always a fun adventure. LOL

I fucking hate number porting!

 

[gqchris]

I fucking hate number porting!

Yea it actually went rather smooth this time, LOL..always a nailbiter especially when the business is staring over your shoulders and waiting!

LOL Funny you say that. We were all talking as you were eating then you were done. I thought wait you ate the two burritos that fast???

From this video alone, Todd seems like a nice guy but Rob still comes off as a douche in his videos.

Who cares how someone comes off on the internet, I've interacted with RG, and he was not a douche.

I'm buying a car, not looking to date the co-owner of a company.

Good thing, he’d never be ready when you went to pick him up.

Zing! Lol

I’m on the hopeful for sooner than later delivery but I have humor

So is Speed gonna race KOH this year?

 

[outboard_256]

I would love to see speed enter in the 4400 class. Then we can see how much of a real race car it is, haha. If they can't produce any units by then they may not be able to enter the UTV class. I don't think they will do it, they will be an almost guaranteed DNF if they race 4400.

 

[MK1MOD0]

Why in the world would they enter a SXS in the ultra 4 class. Doesn’t even make sense.

This, 100%.

Well, I've been told they are just as good and capable as my Ultra 4 if not better, so why not?

 

[outboard_256]

They raced it in the Trophy truck class last race. They only made it 20 miles, but they thought they could run with the big boys. Why not KOH one of the biggest races of the year?

 

[Heylam]

Trying to run an unproven car at KOH would be a marketing disaster. Why open yourself up like that.

Why? Cause Robbie Gordon that’s why. Marketing genius

How is it unproven? It’s been out testing for the past 2 years. Don’t you think it’s proven by now?

Have you driven one? Has anybody?

 

[JayBreww]

Plenty have taken rides with RG out in Parker.
I personally have not, but to RG, he thinks it’s a proven car, which is why he’s releasing it.
I would think KOH would be the perfect event to enter to show the capabilities of his product.

Would your car be competitive in 4400 today?

 

[Wizard29]

Would your car be competitive in 4400 today?

Sure. It has run the course several times.

 

[Heylam]

When an oil line pops off last race due to an oversight in design, yes I’d consider it unproven.

The one they have been driving is a preproduction one not a production model .

 

[RCDave]

To date, it doesn't appear there are any production models

Just picked up the new Speed Car trailer..

Robby……….hurry every chance you get please…

 

[EarpRider]

In last night's video Robby said "I know when the first 100 guys are getting their cars, but I don't know when the guys after that are getting their cars." But he never said a date for the first 100, why?
Also, why the abrupt ending to the live video, did he not want to answer questions?

Last night? Don't recall seeing any live videos last night, as in Nov. 3rd.

I shit, your right that video was from last Thursday.
Either way, same questions.

I actually know someone that did just that. Good thing they didn't have big money in advertising because they were broke within the first hour.

Looks like it came with a current available model of the Speed car….

It did so well on a prepped surface with a small ramp, so why not KOH?

The guys at Vimetal were very easy to work with. This trailer is featured in their latest insta post. SxS trailer so it’s only 87” wide.

They actually forgot to put the ramps on the first one they built so they said no problem just built another one with the fold down ramp

Took about 8 weeks start to pick up

Nice trailer! My best friend bought a custom Vimetal at the end of last year for his Speed El Diablo. Needless to say the trailer it hasn't been used much!

its been proven to break in a race enviornment

It was great.

That was just day 1.

 

[DLC]

There are some EPIC legs (sections ) on that ride
outside of Kingman - going over the mtns to the west
S of Searchlight high speed run
dropping into Laughlin valley
running into and out if Boulder City

 

[EarpRider]

Sooo Robby went Live tonight, I'm not sure what he was trying to show us besides the fact that he was shocked that the car starts in 40° weather.
Did anyone else watch?
