2009 Offroad Season | The De Tomaso Forums

Time for the 2009 season to start; leaving tomorrow for Parker AZ, we are racing in the Parker 425 this weekend. Lots of competition, racing against about 70 Class 1 off-road race cars, SO excited – it like Xmas for us. Here’s a cool video from last year – was filmed from a helicopter. There were times the helicopter could not keep up. Brad, the pilot / helicopter owner said his copter does about 115 mph – hope the link works for you guys

This ranks pretty high on my things to do list. I think this type of racing would be an absolute blast.
