    I've got a Super C like this I'm going to sell, but it is heavier duty on a semitruck Ford F750 chassis. Plus it is used so Broome probably won't want it.:D

    I bought this to get Tyler from Road America to S. Cal back in 2013 when he was hurt. My insurance wouldn't cover the air ambulance, so I got the okay from my wife to buy this and get him home. I had been looking at them and this moved up the purchase date.

    We wheeled him to the electric lift on back, and then brought him through the garage and onto the reclining sofa. Then drove him all the way across the country. I've kept it in case we were going to be on a team and because I always wanted this style. He is in college now and it will probably be a few years before I may use it again.

    35xxx miles
    Cat turbo diesel
    Allison 6 speed transmission
    Exhaust engine brake option
    12.5K onan quiet diesel generator which was a $10K upgrade. Warmers for the entire team

    Originally he studied engineering, so he took Calculus 1 and 2, but was also studing economics. Transferring into a university, out of junior college, he decided to major in Finance. TCU has a pretty highly ranked business college. Eveidently a bunch of schools didn't offer finance undergrad degrees and that was what he wanted. He checked into a dual major of engineering and finance, but most things didn't overlap and it would take a bunch of extra time. He did find out with just a little effort, summer school and maybe 18 units vs. 12-14 units, be can also get an accounting degree at the same time, so that is his current plan.

    I know part of the reason for this career choice, multiple succesful racers/sponsors/racer dads, he met at the track, were finance people/sales people. Plus he thought it would be interesting to learn about mergers/aquisistions, valuing businesses, buying selling stocks, etc.

    He figured if he wanted to keep racing, he might need to make enough money to fund it himself.

    Truer words have never been spoken... at least on this board. :D
    TCU? Texas Christian?

    Yes, Texas Christian University or as I call it Texas California University. I believe California kids are second to Texas at that school.

    Fortunately he earned a pretty good scholarship there, by getting a 4.0 his freshman year, at the local junior college.

    That's great man. You guys really seem to have it figured out. I'm really impressed that your family has made racing and college happen for Tyler.
    Not an easy task.

    Here are some more pictures. I actually found the original invoice and with the upgrades and tax this was around 200K brand new. The water tanks are heated. I believe it is 76 gallons of fresh water on board and over 120Lbs of propane.

    Over 30 of these hooks that can slide all along floor on 3 different rails that run the length of the garage, which is a couple inches less than 14 feet long.

    Beds in garage are easily removed off these posts...no tools required.

    Here is a better picture of what the beds in the garage look like in different positions. I found this on the internet.

    I took these pictures of the sticker cracks. I don't want anyone to come out and be disappointed. If you get a wrap, which I planned on doing, this would not be an issue. The first sticker is on the right side and the other 3 are from the left/drivers side.

    If this sells on WERA, which is highly likely since I haven't advertised it anywhere else, I will donate 1% to WERA. The Bay Area Riders Forum is asking its members to do this, and it seems like a good idea to me. If we all start doing this, Mongo won't have to restart the other less desireable style of for-sale forums, we had previously.

    Man this is just what I mentioned in the retirement thread few months ago. Me and my bikes, towing a Jeep behind, traveling North America. I did look at a Jayco Seneca recently but it was nearly double your asking price. Going to check my wallet right now............
