Motorsports expo!

[JERMzSS]

Got invited to bring my Goblin to the Arklahoma Motorsports expo Saturday to help support Reaction Motorpsorts Events. The car was a big hit and I'd say at least 500 more people learned what a DF Goblin is lol.

I even made the front page of the paper with our "dune buggy" wtf lol.

That kills me people just assume it is a buggy with the tube frame. I was researching wiper motors for mine ( don't ask PA requirement) The ones I found were nice and small. I questioned the guy about them working on a street legal track car and sent him some photos. His first words were "these wont be powerful enough to wipe mud from your glass" Where or when did I mention going off road or it being a buggy?

It is crazy. The real car folks know and they are interested to know more. The average person is like "cool dune buggy!"...... (face palm) lol

Congrats! You are helping spread the word, and knowledge.

Awesome!

I get the dune buggy thing all the time, my guess is that will go away a bit once I put on my big ass spoiler. Its funny though, they are like have you taken it off road? I respond with have you looked at my tires?

I mean........I see the similarities especially without body panels........but the TIRES!!!!! Lol

I get the buggy thing too. There's something about people referring to it as a "buggy" that makes me want to rage on them. I also got a couple "go kart on steroids" which is much more appropriate.

My wife purposefully calls it a dune buggy because she knows it aggravates me...I’m glad to know I’m not the only one haha.

I’ve resorted to referring to it as a “street rail.” Not a dune buggy, not a sand rail, it’s a street rail!

The body helps to cut down on the "dune buggy". About the only time I didn't care that someone called it that was at the DMV when licensing the thing. I was like "Call it whatever the hell you want as long as I get a plate!".

But with the body on, I hear it far less. I also am quick to mention that it's a car my son and I built (kit based).

It's good to see that it's getting some attention.
