Great race recap from Kristin & Kyle over at DrivingLine.com of the 2015 MetalCloak Stampede. As you likely already know [spoiler alert] Loren Healy pulled off the win. This is 3 years in a row now that Spider 9 IFS has won the MetalCloak Stampede. First with Jason Scherer, running the 1st ever Spider 9 IFS prototype, followed by Tom Wayes in the same car. This year, Loren gets the top honor and bragging rights having won the largest off-road race to hit Prairie City. Congrats Loren!

In the spirit of “going big” with Ultra4 racing, we’re very excited to release our all new 2-1/4″ threaded Aluminum Filler Cap & Steel Bung. This MASSIVE cap makes gear inspection a breeze, and filling your axle housing that much easier. Details over at http://www.spidertrax.com/Filler-Cap-2-1-4-Thread .

Welcome to the next level of Ultra4 racing.

Europe’s biggest 4×4 event is currently underway, The Croatia Trophy, and we’ve already spotted a few Spider 9 axles dishing out the madness. It’s an awesome endurance race, 8 days of non-stop driver/spotter/vehicle punishment, and the video is just a blast to watch.  Daily coverage coming out of World4x4 Magazine ( https://www.facebook.com/world4x4 )​ is just fantastic, here’s their video of Day 2 which just wrapped up. Spotted Jim Marsden of Ultra4 Europe fame in there, who was looking great up to this point. Still early, and still anyones game.
