The plans for the actual race vehicle are not a secret. We are chasing diesel truck records for now. It was the partnership that I didn't want to share details about, until the money was in place and the ink was on the paper. King, Hake, and Menendez, LLC. is the new entity, registered in the state of Missouri.
As far as the race vehicle, I already had the #672 H/DT. The early successes with that truck attracted one of the partners. The other guy was already on board. We have some fantastic sponsors, namely F-Tune Performance, Dieselmeken AB, and Bauman Oil as primary sponsors. We absolutely could not move forward without their support and expertise.
We spent some time brainstorming which other classes we could run, and assessing our chances for new records. We decided to stick with DT for now, just going up in displacement. The truck will be a G/DT the next time it's seen on the salt. There is also room for an F-class Diesel engine under the hood. Additionally, we may chase some of the gasoline mini-truck records with this Rampage. After that....it's anybody's guess.
