What a great day...
Ricky qualified on pole today in his first ever off road truck race. Only the 3rd time in the truck and never flew it 70' before this morning.
The start is inverted so he starts in the back so, we'll see how his skills are in traffic.

I met you at Glen Helen national in 07 when Ricky's bike was on display. If I remember, that bike was an early version if not the first.
Being in a chair myself, Im interested to hear how the hand control set ups are in the trucks.
I could use some ideas.
Very cool all the other accomplishments he's done recently too. Is there anything going on at xgames this year?
I mentioned to you a few years back that this is where I thought Ricky would excel, off-road trucks and buggies.
His MX experience and talent allowing him to have that needed "feel" and read of the upcoming terrain is going to be extremely beneficial
Best of luck.
If I can help. just ask
Here's the hand control set up, a standard everyday hand control mounted on the left side of the steering column, it basically a joy stick horizontal lever, you push it down for gas and forward for the brake, it has 2 shift buttons on it and a motorcycle hydralic clutch lever on itpulling in an automotive clutch pressure plate( you can't believe how hard it is to pull, we need to get that sorted out) and he steers with his right hand.
