She looks mean. I don't if any thing really changed on the front body work but it looks killer.

I like seeing the "work in progress" photos. Keep it up TOG - great coverage.

the SPEED logos arent on yet. Previous photos they were just "taped" for possible placement ideas, not stuck on yet. Still a bunch of stuff to do, but the shop is on schedule.

TOG I was not implying that there was a motive. I was just noticing that the rear wheel had no hub. How come the Speed Energy logo is not on the back like shown in a previous picture? Is this Hummer #2 or just a different rear body then in the other pictures?

Mike Yes I saw the new hub was on the prerunner and I too wonder if they worked as planned, with no issues. I hope TOG or someone with knowledge of the new hub will do a write up on them as it looks like a great design from the outside. I believe the the new hub air inflation system could be the difference in making the podium or not this year. I really do!

Nikal- we did this for a picture , thats it. I wanted something different than only showing the front half of the hummer all the time. NO OTHER MOTIVE INVOLVED.

@NIKAL, I see the new hubs were being tested on the Pre-Runner.I haven't heard how testing went.

Even though in the picture the Hummer looks almost complete, its does not look to be a roller yet. The rear tire looks to just be just there for the picture as the rear hub is not yet mounted on the rear trailing arm. Mounting the rear hubs and axles is no big deal and should only take a few hours. Also from what I gathered the Hummers are still rear engine and did not go mid engine this year like suspected. I heard only minor changes were made for this year and the biggest improvement was in the rear inflation system hubs.I am looking forward to seeing how the new hubs perform and to see how RG and ProAm designed the new hub.

Mark R - Not at all. That Hummer is preparing along very smoothly.

what is the other hummer going to be? If its still under prep there must be some wrenches flying at the shop and sleepless nights to be had

It looks like Robby is back on 37" tires this year...? If so I am glad!
