The music in those first two videos is so horrible.

Having raced 7s for a year, I can tell you first hand that there is NOTHING stock about a "stock" class. This is just marketing for the average Joe, who knows nothing about racing, sees an ad in a magazine or commercial on TV saying "a stock Ford Raptor just won the Parker 250/Mint 400/Baja 1000/etc". When in all reality, it won it's class, that was made specifically for this truck, with no other entries. It's all smoke and mirrors.

I chased at the Baja 1000 for Team Oskosh a few years ago. They were trying to sell their military vehicle to replace the Hummer. Score created a class for them to run in, one of the two trucks finished the race, and they marketed it as the Oskosh truck conquering the Baja 1000.

It's all smoke and mirrors when it comes to stock.

With that said, I'm sure Foutz did a great job on the truck, he does very good work. But stock... please!

It's stock except for replacement shocks and springs. I posted the rules for the class. Foutz even clarified on FB the truck is stock. Maybe they are cheating but according to the rules the only things that can be changed are the springs and shocks.

Well, I hope he has his satellite radio subscription paid up. I know I would have OCTANE blaring though those speakers during the race.

And "finished" after they were timed out.

No doubt there! If his machine holds together, he's tough to beat.

He's always going 100 mph even when he's not racing. One year it's me and him pushing his truck up to tech inspection and then all of a sudden
he's off doing something else and I'm stuck pushing his 66 to the line. Good times...
