Just to refresh some memories their have been 4 RGM TT's built for Robby since the Venable days with Russ Watermont building the class 8 HeyHauler, Class 8 Rough Rider Ford F150 and TT.

The firsts TT was the La Victoria / Texaco Havoline Ford Ranger.


The next TT built was the Front engine Ford TT that ran the Swoosh and stars and strips paint job. This TT was then sold to Mark Post (Rivera). A clone to this truck was built out of the Rivera shop for Badwin and he sold it to Roger Norman who has it now.


The 3rd TT built was a mid engine TT that was sponsored by CD2, Turtle Wax, Menards and Toyota. It was originally built with a Toyota engine and was switched back to Ford and ran the Cingular colors. This TT was sold to the Coynes who currently still have it to the best of my knowledge.


The 4th TT is the current TT and has had Red Bull, Monster and now Speed Energy colors on it. During this time RGM built a sister truck which was built for Chet Huffman and was sold to McMillins who then sold it to another racer who sold it back to RG and it is now the 4 seat TT prerunner RG has.

The La Victoria Ranger was so ahead of its time.

Yes the La Victoria TT was sold to Bob Richey. When Score started the TT class it was meant to be a factory backed class. Bob Richey was one of the first privateers to enter the TT class.



Bob Richey sold it to Rob Scarla who was involved with Panasonic and it was used as a display vehicle for them and traveled to trade shows. Later on Rob bought it back from Panasonic and raced some local AZ/NV races.


Rob then sold it to the Dirks and Porter guys. They then took the truck to Geiser's who did some updates on the truck. Once Dirk's and Porter decided to build a new Geiser TT they sold the truck to Will Staats who then had Mirage Racing do some more updates to the truck and fitted a new Ford body on it. They raced it at BITD races with MasterCraft seat sponsorship on it.

About two years ago Staat's bought a new Jimco TT, but kept the old TT in their shop. At this years Laughlin they decided to pull it out and put the old La Victoria colors back on it as a tribute to the trucks history.

Off road racing the original recyclers lol . Hell by the sounds of it some off these trucks have been with 3 - 4 different teams during their lifetimes . I mustve seen that RCR truck a million times and never realized it used to be Robby's

I find it amazing how long some of these trucks have been around and are still raceable

I always thought the monster drink trophy truck looked mean in black.
