Best in the Desert 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Race Truck

[phydough]

@treypal, thanks, my old brain at work being retired. For some reason, I thought the rear suspension and availability (still a prototype) bumped it into Class 8.

I respect Ford for going factory stock. Race on Saturday and Sunday and sell on Monday.

Does anyone know if any of this will be televised or streamed?

It'll be televised in May I believe on Mav, and you can watch live stream here(If it works).

I hope stock means, no bumpstops or any suspension mods allowed.

Modifications to the F-150 Raptor race truck include:

-Race-optimized three-inch-diameter external-bypass front and rear Fox Racing Shox similar to Raptor’s segment-exclusive internal-bypass Fox Racing Shox

-Race-optimized front and rear springs raise ride height to gain additional ground clearance and provide increased compression rate to handle extreme terrain



I'm very curious on what springs they went with and what shocks they replaced the new 3.0's with..

I'm not sure on the springs, but I think they just re-valved the shocks. @bstoner59 find out for us while you're there.

Rules do allow for springs so I'm assuming they went with a progressive pack. Pics look like bypass 3.0s in the rear.

1. Scabs rule for getting it on.

2. If I look at the whole truck I like it. Start picking and a couple design parts are so-so.

3. I do like the light bar and general front look.

4. I don't care if it will blow off a 6.2, just so it blows off ALL others in the run.

5. They going to run E-30??

It's got Fox aftermarket 3.0s. I'm guessing it's got Deavers, or something spec'd from Atlas.
