Another great hour on the Bower Power Hour. Loren Healy sits down with Charlene, and covers just about everything you’d want to know about racing. From what was Loren’s worse wreck, to what’s next on the bucket list, it’s a great show from start to finish. Loren is still making history with his Red Dragon Spider 9 IFS powered Ultra4, with his next race set for the Fallon 250 on August 29th (next Saturday). Enjoy the show!

We’re not the cheapest. We don’t set out to be the most expensive either. Making a part right is all we’re after. From engineering to manufacturing, we cut no corner, striving only for the best while staying true to who we are. We put it all on the table as they say… like this Spider 9 IFS housing getting some precision post-weld CNC machining today. From concept to reality, there’s nothing better than spending your days loving what you do. We appreciate all your support as always, make it a great weekend!

So very busy these days with Spider 9 housing production. Not only does our 3-1/2″ Ultimate & Pro Series Spider 9 Housings continue to lead the industry, our new 4″ Pro Series Housing is quickly becoming the new Ultra4 standard.
All Spider 9 products are made in the USA, always have and always will be. Back to work we go, let’s make it a great week!

“Spidertrax is the best to deal with. Not only do they have the best axle components available, they also offer the best customer service by giving exact lead times and shipping info. I have been using Spidertrax components for almost a decade and can attest to the strength and quality their product offer.” -Derek West
It’s been an awesome year. To date Spider 9 Axles have taken 1st place at King of the Hammers, The Stampede, King of Italy, French Xtreme, Croatia Trophy, Badlands (won by Derek West, photo as featured above), and just very recently the Breslau Rally (congrats Jim Marsden, more to come on that in the future post). This is just for 2015, the racing season is still young!
It was Derek’s recent win at Badlands that got me thinking. He’s one badass driver in one badass Ultra4, no argument there given his current 1st place standing in US series points, but what makes his Ultra4 so unique, so special? Is Derek running custom parts that only he has access to? Of course this is far from the case, which was the inspiration for writing this article. EVERY SINGLE SPIDER 9 PART on Derek’s Ultra4 racer can be purchased online or on the phone, available to everyone and anyone who’s building an off-road racer. Let’s not stop there though, the story that follows will detail the EXACT Spider 9 setup (axle dimensions, parts, everything we could think of) that’s under Derek’s winning machine, so that you to can see what it takes to grab those top podium spots.
Let’s dive right in.
We are proud to release the all new Pro Series 4″ Housing, our strongest Spider 9 yet. We put so much into this design, we know Ultra4 racers are going to appreciate every little detail they find here. This also happens to be the same rear housing under Loren Healy’s record-breaking Red Dragon, so know this housing isn’t just about looks, it’s about 1st place finishes. Be sure to head over to http://www.spidertrax.com/4in-Pro-Series-Housing to learn more about our latest Spider 9 creation. Pro Series 4″ Housings are in-stock and ready to ship same day (as of this post). Happy Wednesday.
