Ack's FAQ and Zuwharrie.com sponsored Mike Whitfield's Suzuki Sidekick at the URE 4X_Cross event held at the Uwharrie National Forest may 9-11, 2008.Whitfield finished 6 and 7 in his class. The operative word is "finished". There were a lot of other trucks who - for various reasons including boneheadedness - didn't make it very far. Whitfield did bend the passenger's side A-arm, bent the strut towers and banged up the oil pan. A custom-fabbed hybrid steel Samurai drop out center section on the front axle helped avoid axle damage typical with this kind of TracKick driving.
Why sponsor a truck? The damage information from the competition will be useful in helping you (and parts vendors) to design parts for a better, more reliable offroading truck. Without sponsors teams cannot enter and you will not be able to show the offroading world just how great our little trucks are!
