Yes we are a sponsor, we are located in western Michigan. lol, I like both the turbo and Procharger idea.


Just imagine a shiny Procharger out in the open for every one to see Bob!!!


I still would rather see a dark as night all black turbo sitting out there!

If I have more control over the next one, I will be calling!

It's all logic, if a 600+hp buggy is fun then a 1000+hp buggy would be better......right?
