Torchmate Racing Truck Baja 1000

Torchmate is proud to be an active member of the off-road community. We have partnered with Shaffers Offroad to build our Torchmate Rock Crawler and participate in many exciting off-road races, including W.E. Rock U.S. Nationals in Hannibal, Missouri and the Henderson Fabtech Desert Classic Best in the Desert Race final of the year.

We are a family owned business that grew from a small backyard shop to a CNC Cutting Systems Distribution Center. We are very proud of our achievements over the years. We love to hear stories about how we helped a small shop owner grow into a success in the industry. We have found that the off-road community is one that we have directly influenced as many off-road vehicles are built from scratch using our machines. It seemed only natural that we invest more of our time in this industry. Two generations of our family have had a deep passion for racing. Our founder, Bill Sr., has spent his life as an enthusiastic supporter of drag racing and hotrods. CEO, Bill Jr., found that rock crawling and desert racing appeals to his adventurous side. We are committed to our business and to the passions and relationships we have built through Torchmate.

We have received a warm reception from the off-road community, and look forward to growing with you to become more skilled and proficient contributors to the sport.

Team Torchmate takes the checkered at TREC Badlands!

After setting out the first race of the season at TREC and letting my co-driver race, I decided I better get back behind the wheel! LOL. If you haven't heard, he endowed the car a couple of times out thru the woods hitting tress and rocks! We have rebuilt all the broken parts and still trying to find the hidden demons that are bound to show up!

With a stack field of competitors in the A class, we knew we'd have our work cut out for us! The TREC race is a blast and gves us the best simulation of the Johnson valley terrain anywhere in the east! With several classes racing on the same course, the adrenaline is constantly going and you are always facing a different challenge on the course! This year, the course has new jumps, creeks, hill climbs, long high speed sections, and some very tight woods sections which are perfect for keeping the field balanced out! If you haven't tried it, you've got to bring a vehicle out!

After lap 1, we took the lead and never looked back! Racing for over two hours at speed and battling with over 30 vehicles, it is tough to balance composure with adrenaline! This event was no different with muddy water holes, it proved to be difficult to see all night.

At the finish line, the Torchmate team came out on top to put us back in contention for the series championship! We are off to the next TREC race in mid May, stay tuned....
