Getting dirty!

Ever since we purchased a 2000 Nissan Frontier 4x4 and making some minor improvements, I have wanted to test it off road.   I finally had a free day and found a close location to test out the truck.  The guys at Outback ATV Park in Laurinburg recently opened a set of trails on 700 acres of land. Currently, most of the trails and obstacles are designed for dirt bikes and 4 wheelers.  Our truck was small enough to maneuver through the tight trails and we got stuck just once.  When we were finished riding the trails the truck didn't look the same. Three car washes later all of the mud was removed and she looked like new again.  I am ready for the next muddin' trip.

Click HERE to view the process from the first purchase of the vehicle to removing old bumper, valance, replacing tires, rims, painting trim and adding accessories.  I have more work to do and may lift the suspension just a bit more.

NASCAR returns to Rockingham Speedway

9/7/2011- Gov. Bev Perdue of North Carolina made it official Wednesday afternoon: NASCAR is returning to Rockingham.

Perdue announced that the Camping World Truck Series will run at the historic Rockingham Speedway on April 15, 2012, crediting the dogged determination of track owner and former NASCAR driver Andy Hillenburg and the eventual support of local and state government officials with making it happen. Formerly known as North Carolina Speedway, the 1-mile track first opened in 1965 and hosted NASCAR-sanctioned events for 40 years before the last Cup race was held there on Feb. 22, 2004. - NASCAR.com

Upon arriving at the speedway there were many happy faces walking around waiting for the announcement that NASCAR was coming back to Rockingham. This is great news and I was glad to be invited to shoot photos of the announcement.
