Heads Up Racing For The Working Man

It started a few years ago... Kevin Lee had the initial idea for a "parasite" digger and took the time to share his thoughts in what has now become a historically significant thread on the H.A.M.B.. Sam Strube took it from there and started laying out what he thought would be appropriate rules. Fellas listened and three cars showed up at the 2005 H.A.M.B. Drags ready to duke it out.

I have no idea who won. Hell, I didn't even have a trophy for the winner. In either case, I don't think it mattered to any of the teams or spectators. We were all just happy to be a part of something that literally hadn't happened in 50 years - traditional " bug styled" diggers going full bore down the quarter mile. It was a sight to behold and something most there will never forget.

After the event, word started to spread and the HA/GR class started to a get a lot of attention. In fact, race tracks across the country as well as through out the world began asking questions. The next thing we knew, there were 20 something cars being built in the U.S. and another 15 or so in Australia.

We hit a nerve... Still, this movement is so young it seems a bit presumptive to have a "history" page in this manner. Chalk it up to confidence and an absolute dedication to spreading the gospel. You will be hearing much more from us in the years to come.
