Inspired by the NORRA Rally’s vintage vehicle class, Method partners Kevin Fitzgerald, Bud Fitzgerlad, and Colbey Groom set out to build top of the line race vehicle with an old school feel. With the ultimate goal of racing the NORRA Rally, they acquired an old Ford F100 and took it to Jake Velasco Race Prep (JVRP) to begin the full rebuild. Nearly everything under the F100’s vintage exterior was replaced with new high performance parts and upgrades. The grueling NORRA 1000 got the best of the newly minted Ford F100 in it’s maiden voyage to the Baja peninsula, but has since reached the finish line several times.
