4x4 Offroad Racing Trucks by Bill Holder,John Carollo Pdf

Four-wheel-drive trucks compete in many types of motorsports where no car would dare show its face. To realize the ultimate potential of a competitive truck, many off-road activities are fitted to four-wheel-drive trucks to race on mud, rock and sand. These trucks are shown in action: there’s nothing like four heavy-lugged tires clawing for traction and throwing up clouds of dirt and rocks, “Tough Trucks” navigating jumps, water and obstacle courses, Monster Trucks in flight, trucks drag racing through sand, mud and uphill, 4x4s pulling the heaviest loads possible, the ultra-slow rock-climbing trucks racing to get over the toughest of obstacles requiring a delicate touch on the throttle and a skilled use of the suspension system, and Trail Riding which combines a number of rock-climbing obstacles over the length of an off-road trail.

Endurance by Eddie Brannan Pdf

Nathan Kanney lost his spleen in Poland. Kanney, the main subject of Theresa Ortolani's Endurance,crashed his dirt bike during the 2004 International Six DaysEnduro race in Poland, but he kept going until he was pulledfrom the race and taken to the hospital. Doctors removed hisruptured spleen and told him he would have died if he hadstayed in the race any longer. That's the MO of the off-roadmotorcycle world: unless you're on the verge of death, youstay on the throttle. In an age where many high-adrenalinesports have become watered-down exercises in marketing,dirt bike racing remains intensely raw; a dangerous enterprisepopulated with a colorful, profane cast of daredevils. Ortolaniapplies an artist's eye to this unforgiving sport and the riderswho pursue it, resulting in an unprecedented, behind-the-sceneswindow into this punishing competition. Endurance offers embedded access and a scope that spansthree years of off-road racing. Ortolani began shootingKanney at a race in 2006 in which Kanney made GrandNational Cross Country history, and Ortolani becamehooked on a sport that is at turns beautiful and inescapablybrutal. Ortolani traveled thousands of miles, across theU.S. and Europe, in the process capturing Kanney's ascentfrom underdog privateer to KTM Factory Team rider-anachievement that required beating world champions ridingbikes three times the cost of his. Endurance includes photographs of Kanney's world-championcompetitors and teammates including David Knight, JuhaSalminen, Mika Ahola, Anders Eriksson, Bartosz Oblucki,and Ryan Mills, with cameo appearances by Travis Pastranaand Carey Hart. Among the many interview subjects areNathan Kanney, Carrie Coombs Russell, Jason Weigandt,Jerry Bernardo, Jonty Edmunds, Jesse Ziegler, Steve Hatch,and Anders Eriksson.

Bronco Racing by John Elkin Pdf

Stuffed with never-before-seen photography, stories, and race results, Bronco Racing: Ford’s Legendary 4x4 in Off-Road Competition is the most definitive publication ever on this marque’s racing success! In 1965, legendary builder and off-road aficionado Bill Stroppe was one of the first to test the new Bronco in off-road conditions. In March 1966, Stroppe introduced his racing Bronco to the press at the Bronco Roundup, where racing ace Ray Harvick pounded the Santa Ana river bottom with his tuned machine to win Top Eliminator at the Four-Wheel-Drive Grand Prix at Riverside, and the rest is history. Ford’s Bronco dominated the off-road racing scene and captured coveted titles in the Mint 400, Baja 500, and dirt racing’s crowning achievement: the Mexican 1000/Baja 1000. As the first-generation Bronco gave way to the second-generation machine (1978), racing Broncos continued to devour the competition until Ford pulled the plug on the rig in 1996. Complementing the legendary Broncos featured here, you will also hear the tales of their wranglers, including Parnelli Jones, Rod Hall, Larry Minor, Shelby Hall, James Garner, Don Barlow, James Duff, Bill Rush, and the aforementioned Ray Harvick and Bill Stroppe. The infamous mounts covered include Big Oly/Crazy Colt, Pony, Big Hoss, Crazy Horse, Stove, and Colt. Diligently penned by Bronco racing historian John Elkin, this book is the most comprehensive collection of historical accuracy ever authored on this subject. Pull your belts tight and wipe your goggles clean one last time with Bronco Racing: Ford’s Legendary 4x4 in Off-Road Competition!
