Project Introduction and Overview

We're here at Matt Craftton's garage and we're going to show it to you. >> My toy shop where I have my dirt cars and go have fun and do some real racing. What I call it my first wind truck in the truck series. I got that for my team owner quite a few years ago and it just collects dust and my son likes to crawl up on the hood of it and fall off more than anything. But >> the story behind it of how it survived some kind of fire or flood or like >> it literally did. >> What happened with this thing? So, in I think it was 2016, the shop in Sesi, Ohio caught on fire in the middle of the night and it's two levels and it's 50,000 upstairs and 50,000 downstairs. When the shop burned, they they were putting it out, they put so much water on it, the basement flooded and this truck was literally basically door tops down was underwater. So, at that point, it almost became virtually retired truck, but it was our first wind truck. We've just kept it just the way it was. the insurance whenever the insurance had paid the team owner something and I ended up buying it back through the insurance company. That's why I ended up getting it. It's got a lot of sentimental value to it. Looking at it thinking like 2008 doesn't seem like that long ago to me, but when you look at this and the way it's built, it doesn't look any different than a truck would have looked in like '95 96. It's all there's no carbon fiber in there or >> Exactly. >> anything exotic. >> No, that's that's where And the dashes are so much higher. Now our dashes are down by our knees and we're just working on the CGs to get everything as low as we can in them. And it's it's kind of funny to look in some of them and just see the little differences here and there. But it's it's just a trophy. And then that was my Kansas pole trophy. And my son, he loves riding that that little truck or car thing around here shop and running stuff. >> What was a truck of this era like to drive compared to the current one? Um, biggest thing was they made very I'll call it very similar downforce. As you can see, look at the headlights on this thing. How laidback they are comparison. It wasn't much like the production vehicle. They they were I mean, if you look at the production vehicle, they're stood up here comparison to lay down here. So, they made a lot of overbody downforce as you call it. And then we had a the splitter here. It looks the same, but it's only it stops. It's only it…
