Our Fab Shop

We built our first race truck for less than $20,000. This isn't possible without a collection of tools that have high value without high cost. Learn from my mistakes, and see tools make all the projects possible. I will never recommend a tool that I would not purchase again.

Our Story

Our Story

The Idea for NTD Racing was born in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the United States Air Force Academy over 25 years ago. A hard charging team of future Air Force pilots built an eight hp Mini Baja and raced to victory over 63 Universities in the grueling Arizona desert.

Today, NTD Racing still has three of the original members, plus a growing family of Veterans and civilian service members working toward our goal of crossing the finish line.

This is our Journey to the Baja 1000.
