HOT PURSUIT: COPS TT

We all know you are thinking it. Every time one sees a COPS racing vehicle, the Bad Boys theme by Inner Circle, made famous by the long running reality show comes to mind. You all sing it. We have even heard it played in the pits during a race. COPS racing now has a brand-new Trophy Truck in hot pursuit of the next championship. The truck was custom built by Eric Stewart at ES Motorsports specifically for John Langley. At 77, Langley plans on entering the truck in the TT Legends class in SCORE.

ABOVE: Large 4.5 King Shocks suck up the most punishing Baja terrain. Note the beefy reinforced upper and lower A-arms.

LEFT: King Shocks are also utilized in the rear with 3.0 coil-overs. The shocks are kept cool with King’s finned reservoir technology.

ABOVE: One of the coolest features on the COPS TT is the Howe on-board jack system. The entire truck can be lifted with the push of a button, making rapid tire changes in the pits easier. There is also an on-board tire pressure monitoring system allowing the co-driver to keep an eye on the tires from inside the truck.

RIGHT: COPS racing was one the first few teams to run to 40-inch BF Goodrich Tires.

ABOVE: The truck has a custom flat black paint job, completed in-house by COPS team members.

RIGHT: A whole host of Baja Designs LED lightbars, Squadron Pros and ONX6 Light bars keep the path ahead lit-up when darkness falls in Baja.

There is plenty of technology inside the truck. Driver and co-driver have a wireless communication system that allows them to talk to each other outside of the truck. A satellite communications system allows chase crews to keep comms with the truck in remote areas of Baja. Individual air conditioning and hydration systems from Maglock keep driver and co-driver comfortable. Fluids are dispensed by a push of a button.
