Hello all, allow me to introduce myself and my ride...

My name is Jarod (Pronounced J-Rod) and my Co-Driver (tentative) is my girlfriend Alison. I've been driving professionally (Not racing) for a living before as a courier, and have alot of experience figuring out the fastest way from point A to point B on a map, not to mention if Bullrun stays in the southwest, I probably wouln't even need maps. I've driven all over from Cali where I used to live, to Texas, Oregon, New Mexico (where I currently live) and all areas inbetween.

My ride is a fully custom 1995 Nissan Hardbody minitruck. Yep. Airride (FBSS) with a 4 linked rear, shaved, and modded to no end. Power comes from a 3.0L V6 with Nismo Cams, Port/Polished heads, Doug Thorley Headers, and more. I built Hades (the truck's name) from the ground up starting 2 years after I bought it new in '95. Hades has nearly 300,000 miles on the odometer and still runs hard. Best 1/4 time was a 15.17 @ LACR. I know - 15 isn't the fastest thing you've ever seen, but may I remind you this truck is on air suspension. Every mod on this truck was performed either by myself or with my hands involved and my friends working with me.

I really want to get into this competition for the fun of it - Money is great, but I want the experience more than anything else. I want to be able to say I did it - I came, I gave my all, and if I had to leave before the finish line, I did my best - That's what it's all about to me. I know what sportsmanship is, and I know what teamwork is.

So that's me - How about all of you? Hopefully I'll be driving alongside some of you soon!

Might want to read some of the FAQ's and driver profiles and stuff.  The staff say they scour these profiles for the next drivers and go with the personality of the person first and then the vehicle...so....lots of opportunities here, just kinda luck of the draw I guess.

Yeah I think I made my profile pretty interesting. I plan on shooting a video sometime this week for it.

Yep a video is a must, upload it here, youtube, and submit it when they request the submissions.  I'm going to shoot mine in HD and really try to make it pop.

Nice. I plan on using lots of my already shot spark throwing footage, along with some vids from the dragstrip.

Shouldn't be longer than 5 minutes, and pretty much showcase your personality, the team mates personality and the car itself (which I think every vehicle has a personality, lol)  as much as you can in 5 minutes anyways.

Mid 15's is nothing to scoff at on a truck with 300,000 miles! 

I've never been into lowering trucks. I usually like to go the other direction.. After all, fat chicks can't jump. But, to each their own. :)

Welcome to the site from a fellow truck owner!

MDLucky I've always thought of it this way... 2wd goes down, 4x4 goes up!

And Shelby - it's laid out in the pics. I can change my ground clearance 7"-8" with a  switch. ;-)

"There were no cops, no trees, no humans of any kind so we decided to wring out the little Ford. For 47 minutes straight the Fusion was pinned at 111 mph with the A/C on getting 25mpg. John, Gabe and I all sat there astonished. We made one fuel stop, saw no other Bullrunners and came in... are you ready... 6th place for the day! IN A RENTED FORD FUSION!! CAN I GET A BOOYA!!!

Ford people, if you are reading this contact me immediately because I don't think you know how good this little car is. Seriously, we should talk about perhaps producing some Ford Fusion "MR. ANGRY" editions. I LOVE THIS CAR!"

Just the wheels! Just the wheels. Trying to find some baby moon caps to finish those off. Some of the interior is burgundy tweed/paint too...
