That is way cool!!!

Awesome!

If you guys keep posting C-10's kicking butt in the autocross, I'm going to have to mortgage my house and build one... I really don't want that to happen

Nice!

No Limit's C10 is sick, and the renderings of the Porterbuilt shop truck are also insane. Love to see bricks that kick ass.

I have to say that this truck is bad-ass! I was impressed with the fit and finish, and the performance. So, from Columbus, I'm guessing a bit more spring rate up front, back off of the compression a tad, and maybe a toe out adjustment? I looked really close out there during the shootout. So, "un-officially", are you saying that a truck won the overall at the PHR Muscle car Challenge?

No, machetes are cumbersome and hard to swing. That's more like a well balanced Kukri blade.

Cool.

Looking at the build pics on the RS site and then at the pics of the frame on this link I noticed the 4-link is outside of the frame on the autocross truck but inside on the sale frame. Why the difference and does it make any difference in handling?

Good eye Hertz. I didn't realize it until your post. The chassis that we took pics of for our web site was running 18" wide rear wheels so we moved the coilovers & 4 bars inboard for tire clearance. There is definitely better performance gains with the shock out wider, outside the frame rail.

Thanks rob! It was a good time running the columbus autox. Your truck is pretty damn impressive as well. The C10's are going to be taking over.

We did I officially win the PHR event. They let us run exhibition class, assuming we would not be competitive. I think I finished 2nd in the drag, 3rd in the speed stop, and 1st in the autocross. Overall I had the fastest combined time! We actually dropped the front spring rate 100 lbs per side and added weights to the back. A few compression and rebound changes, but nothing on the alignment.
