I'm Hunter71495,
My real name is Ryan, I'm from central Pennsylvania, I'm a junior in high school and i turned 16 on July 14.What brings me here is the love for buggies and all off-road racing
Ever since i was a little kid i dreamed of owning a buggy. I currently do not have a buggy or a buggy project. I plan on getting a project buggy before Christmas. Personally i do not have very much knowledge in the field of off-road racing, but my cousins do (they own a welding and fab business) most of their business is off-road 4x4's and buggy's and other such vehicles, so i will have some help. I guess you could say off-road racing runs in my blood, my "dad" owned around 5 different 4x4's from back in the day until now. My parents are divorced though and that prick never bothers so, yeah. My brother and sister are both older then me and have long since moved out. So its just me and my mom and she's not a fan of dumping "thousands of dollars" into a puddle jumper but she says its my money and i can do what i want with it.
Back to the buggy though:
What i am thinking is a standard 2 seater buggy or just a little one seater.I have a limited budget and would love to have this project done by June,2012 in time for the first race. I would like to start out pretty small and "basic" and work my way up as i get more money and more experience.
The idea for 1 seater i would like to follow: (this is actual pictures from up at the 7 miler)

Also its pretty short (length wise), lucky im only 5'6"
I'm not going to ride it around very much( like i would an atv), just here and there. My plan is to race it in the few off-road races we have around where i live.

The trails are VERY TIGHT and the roughest trail's i will prolly ever see.
