CORE's relatively new
class of Trophy Truck
Spec might confuse
people who are new
to desert racing, and
want to get involved.
For the outsider, it's hard to tell
the difference from the top class
of Unlimited Trophy Trucks, from
Trophy Truck Spec. Taking driver/
team experience and skill out
of the equation, the two types
of racing vehicles are physically
almost the same. We'll try to
explain how similar the two classes
are, how they are different, and
why TT Spec might be a great way
to get involved in Baja racing.
The race numbers are different,
but the chassis configurations are
the same. Most TT Spec trucks are
engineered using computer aided
design (CAD) software for ultimate
safety, strength, and reliability. Most
