Thread: Bill Caswell entering Score Sportsman Truck Class?!?

  1. #1

    Bill Caswell entering Score Sportsman Truck Class?!?

    If you've not heard about Bill, read this or check out this quick search. The short story is he took a $500 Craigslist BMW, swapped in an engine he had, put it all together in his mom's basement and finished the Mexico Round of the World Rally Championship where other professional teams hadn't. This guy is epic (I don't like using that word) - he lost his job and decided to take a year off to race. He's raced Pikes Peak, almost got into the X-Games and now has a Miller Welder sponsorship all with a beater '91 BMW.

    Now I just heard a rumor floating that there might be a Score Sportsman Truck entry in his future . . .

    Good on him, but lets be honest. He was no where near getting into the X Games.

    see, the x games used to be cool. now its all about the advertisers and the money, not about the games.

    this guy was beating professional racers with highly sponsored teams with his 500 dollar beater BMW. so much of racing now days is about money, when it used to be about driver skill and a good team behind the driver building an awesome car.

    the most impressive thing, he ended up 3rd in his class, with a time faster than that of 2 professional WRC teams with $400,000 cars.. including tires and his time his car probably cost him less than $2,500... Its incredible
