Next up is the truck I spent most of my time racing online with, the "B.C Lion."
Again, like Stuntman, this truck was just a simple repaint designed around the same time. Originally it was designed as a tribute to my favorite Canadian Football League team, and I had no intention of ever doing anything else with it after that.
Then came the opportunity to join on with a new all Canadian racing team being put together by Kozak, and since this already had a Canadian theme to it everything just sort of fell into place. I gave the truck a fresh new image for the upcoming 2009 SPHRA season and brought it out. For the new look I decided to ditch anything football related and just roll with the Lion theme full time.
Here's some unique tires I tried out for a short period of time...
A couple small updates; new chrome shocks, bed cover, and brand new BBR team collectors.
With the new Super Duty making it's real life debut, I deiced it was time for another paint update. This time going with the new front clip, and a a little more "toned-down" image. This was always my favorite looks out of the 3.
I even made a special Christmas themed B.C Lion for an event held at Christmas time. I'm pretty sure I made it to the finals that night and lost out to Diggy. haha
Another update, new in-house chassis from Kozak and custom wheel covers...
Our team's "official" sponsor was Evolution Machining & Engineering , so I deiced to have some fun and make a special appearance sponsor body for my truck like some real MT teams will sometimes do...
And another shot of the truck on it's 2nd brand new in-house chassis. This is the version I had the most success with and the last update for the truck with online racing slowly fading away...
Seems like yesterday we were all racing these trucks instead of going all nostalgic over them. lol
