2005 Parker 425
Taking it beyond the limit.
It was a bad day in Arizona.
Running strongly in second place then Losing the front ring and pinion at Race Mile 155
turned The Beast into a heavy two-wheel drive handful. Desperately trying to maintain
speed to prevent getting stuck in the deep sand of the “Python,” Kroeker puts The Beast
on its lid, leaving him and Robin Stover, Four Wheeler Magazine’s Feature Editor, hanging
like bats in their harnesses.
Desert Racing Concepts takes command of
the rebuild.
Following KORE tradition, Kroeker drives The Beast back to California under its own power.
From the ashes, a work of art.
Two months in the capable hands of Greg Boardman at the Desert Racing Concepts
compound and The Beast was a new animal.
No rules.
Fiberglass fenders and bedsides, a new roof and door panels – DRC gave The Beast new life.
Bigger, stronger, faster, but no longer race-legal for the Stock Full class.
Bigger, stronger, faster.
The rollover at Parker was the birthplace of DRC’S Dodge Ram Fiberglass bodywork
and the KORE UNLIMITED SERIES suspension system, proving that good things can come
from bad circumstances.
