CORR BUGGIES |
|
We are avid offroad enthusiasts who have been riding/racing quads,
dirtbikes, and 3-wheelers since the '80's and love to be around the
sport. We used to watch the Mickey Thompson Stadium Racing and never missed
a race when they came to our city. After our first ever trip to Crandon,
Wisconsin in September of 2002 to watch the Borg Warner Shootout in the Championship Offroad
Racing series, we were officially hooked. We started planning our buggies. The
goal, to race at Crandon! If you've ever been there, and 50,000 of you were that
same weekend, it's amazing! The pro trucks fly down the Oklahoma Land Rush
Start at 100mph as they come into turn 1, the roar of their trucks are awesome!
It's a must place to visit if you're into offroad racing. What a blast! To see
some killer pictures of the trucks and buggies in action, check out

After a quad accident we purchased 2 bare sand chassis and started making modifications. Below are photo's of 1 of our buggies in work.

| Well, here we are at Chula Vista, CA for our 1st ever race. The cars look good and we're excited to see how they do. | This is the one we built from the sand chassis, following all the requirements from the CORR rule book. We finished everything the day before we headed to the track. This car has 0 seat time (except for the 9 passes up and down our street.
