I am an amateur fabricator/builder living in American Fork, Utah. I will be racing with BORR (Bonneville Off-Road Racing, borracing.org) in the upcoming season which starts here the beginning of May. The racing team is "Caveman Racing", hence the subject line. I have built a few sandrails, both VW-based and truggy-style, but am now all fired-up about off road racing. I bought a POS '91 S-10 Blazer to setup for class 7s just in case I can't afford to finish the (in-progress) class 10 car in time for next season. One way or another, I am going racing next year. I bought a bender 6 years ago and have been wasting tubing ever since. The last few months, while working on the class 10 car, I have ventured into making my own trailing arms and spindles. The spindles are about half finished, the rear trailing arms, 90%. I'm saving up for a nice TIG box, but the 10 car needs shocks... decisions, decisions. I started building because I couldn't afford to buy someone else's creations, and never found designs that I wouldn't have done something different with anyway. I also have more time than money, which is a little sad, because I really don't have much time, either. So, making my own desert toys is about the only way I can get out to play.
