| Ever watched desert racing? I have, for years. The truck on the left belongs to Ivan "Ironman" Stewart. He's won everything a desert racer CAN win, most of them several times. He's driven Toyota's for something like 20 years, and I always liked him, and Toyota trucks. So when I finally got a Toyota Tacoma of my own, I decided to go all out. I went to Bobby Taylor at BWTaylor Motorsports Lettering and Graphics and we made it happen. I copied the graphics off pictures on the 'Net, gave Bobby the computer files, he cut the vinyl, and together, we did the application. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Yes, everything on my truck is sheet vinyl...stickers. Even the white. It took a lot of time (20-odd hours of both of us working on it), but it makes for an extremely individual truck. I get a lot of kids pointing and ooh'ing and aahh'ing. I didn't do the hood and roof like the race truck because I like the purple color of my truck and didn't want to completely cover it. If you'd like something similar done to your vehicle...car or truck...drop me a line. Bobby and I have done several similar vehicles for local businesses. Race-replica vehicles are a specialty. My truck is a '99 4 Wheel Drive Tacoma, of course. It has the 3.4 V6 in it and has a K&N intake system, Pioneer CD, Sony speakers and soon will have BF Goodrich tires. |

| The latest project to hit the Fourth Dimension Racing garage. there's a whole page just for it, 'cuz you won't BELIEVE what it used to look like. Check it out. I'm starting to wonder if I'm one of those people that always has to be working on something. They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Hmmm... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is my wife and I on my '86 Yamaha Fazer. Never heard of a Fazer? Few people have. Yamaha only made it in 86 and 87 (although the new 'naked bike' version of the Yamaha R1, the FZ1, is also being called the Fazer). They are few in number. It's basically a cross between an Yamaha FZ750 bullet bike and a Yamaha VMax. It has the frame and some suspension and a slightly destroked motor from the FZ750 (to 700cc), and the styling, riding position and attitude of the VMax. The motor has been laid over forward in the frame, and the carbs are bottom-flow, so the fuel mixture has a straight shot through the motor and out the exhaust. This produces gobs of power and torque. Plus, the main weight of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| the engine being lower and somewhat forward in the chassis effectively nails the front end to the ground. It's next to impossible to wheelie this bike (believe me, I've tried), and it makes it very stable at high speed. I've pissed off a couple of Ninja's in my time...and more than a few punk kids in Mustang GT's and Camaro's. They get really touchy when I eat 'em up off the line and I'm sittin' at the next stoplight by the time they roll up. It's almost funny...well, OK, it IS funny. What is it about 'power-to-weight ratio' that they don't understand? I've topped it out at 146, and I have no intention of going there again any time soon. Triple digits is a little hairy with no fairings to hide behind. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
