I was lucky enough to be racing with Walker in this event. I ran my SCORE Class 3 Chevy Blazer. To hear and feel this classic Class 8 Dodge run with Walker in Baja was race fan bliss.
Legendary truck and Driver. Loved how Walker would be hard on the throttle and once he was airborne, off the throttle, dead quite then back hard on the gas and gone. Smoothest driver in off road. Well we could add Rick Mears and Malcom Smith to that very short list.
I remember working the Pit Crews for Walker and that truck. The Mint 400 and the Barstow race... Firecracker 250? Just before the start of the Barstow race we were standing around in the pit, strategizing for the race. Walker, out of the blue started in on how elegant the Spanish language is, compared to English. Like the Spanish word for Bull S#%t... In Spanish it's "Toro Poo-Poo". Forty years later, I still remember that.
Is the long travel front suspension available on the market anyplace? I have wanted to build a class 8 style Ramcharger since I was just a kid watching these trucks when they were new. But in the middle of Iowa, finding anything for a build like that is impossible.

And add Rod Hall.
We need to see some Ram trucks with real good drivers again.
I remember these Evans Dodges at the Mint 400. Always thought they were the coolest if their time.
I just met Walker and his wife Phyllis here in Cabo at the Cabo Azul resort. What a nice couple! I didn't realize he was a legend!
LEGEND
Y'all got any more photos or video of the trucks. Noticed that there was another truck in this video under a cover...... Thanks for sharing.
