June 25, 2022 BXGR Donates Scalpel to the Museum of American Speed
It's been quite an exciting week for Bodrodz Xtreme Gravity Racing with a little bittersweet thrown in. My good friend and Bodrodz teammate, Jason Camp and I, delivered the world's fastest gravity car, the Bodrodz Scalpel, to the Speedway Motors Museum of American Speed. Bodrodz has donated the car and it will be on permanent display at this incredible museum in their land speed section. For those of you who are not familiar with this museum, it was voted one on the top 10 museums in the country last year. If you are a gearhead, this is an absolute must see collection! If it's American and goes fast, it's represented there. It doesn't get any better than this! Can't say enough about the museum staff, who they treated us like royalty and gave us the VIP tour of the facility. Just incredible! We at Bodrodz Xtreme Gravity Racing are honored and extremely humbled that this world class museum accepted the Scalpel to be displayed in their collection. A special thanks to Tim Matthews, the museum curator and Ave Pickering for their generous hospitality and taking such great care of us. We're looking forward to going back and spending more time in the museum. Be sure to check this amazing museum out! https://www.museumofamericanspeed.com/

Feb. 19, 2021 One year has passed and a lot has been going on behind the scenes. Working thru the pandemic, BXGR is still looking forward to running some big numbers. Anderson/Camp have started a new top gravity streamliner with a totally new approach to the aero package. "I believe this new streamliner will be faster than the Scalpel. Even though the Scalpel has never run flat out, I think after the two cars have run all out, the new car will come out on top. I'm really looking forward to this project" sez Anderson. More great news, Ed Bryant is back on board. Ed is re-creating the streamlined lugeliner he rode back in 2001 down Burkhater running in the mid 90's. Another great project! We'll keep you posted as the projects move forward.
Feb. 7-9, 2020 The world's fastest gravity car, the Bodrodz Scalpel was on display at the 2020 Birmingham World of Wheels. The Scalpel drew lots of attention during the three days. Doug Anderson stayed busy answering questions about the Scalpel and gravity land speed racing. It was an incredible show with more than 350 vehicles on display. The Scalpel was awarded best in class. Thanks to everyone who came out and said hello.

July 24, 2019 Back from an incredible trip to Akron, Ohio. BXGR displayed the Scalpel at the 82nd running of the All American Soap Box Derby. Derby Downs is ground zero for the soap box derby and no wonder, what an iconic event the town puts on. This is definitely hallowed grounds. Can't say enough about the soap box community and their hospitality. We enjoyed answering questions and talking gravity racing all day. Looking forward to going back next year.

June 29, 2019 Well, here it is June 2019 already. The Scalpel paint project is completed and were very pleased with the final product. Hot Rod Walt is in the process of some cockpit upholstery work and the car aesthetics will be finalized. We have a couple of aero mods to address on the belly pan along with some tire work and the car will be ready for another assault on our current world record. That brings us to another dilemma, wondering if there will be another Canadian event. The odds in Vegas are that it will never happen again, we hope we're wrong. As of right now there is no other hill known on the planet that will yield those speeds. The search continues.
Fast Donnie continues production of the SpecKarts out in Oregon and they are being well accepted and interest is growing on this very cool one design class racing. Be sure to check the SpecKarts USA Facebook page. Stef Cree continues his testing with his his gravity bike for an run for the WGSA world record. Stef has run faster than the current record according to his GPS and still more left in the bike. The Bodrodz Scalpel is headed to the All American Soapbox Derby in Akron, OH on July 20. If you're attending, please stop by and say hello. That's the latest. Stay tuned.

June 05, 2019 Bodrodz Scalpel on display at Caffeine & Octane
Displayed the Scalpel at Caffeine & Octane this last weekend. What an incredible event! This is the largest cruise-in in North America that happens the 1st Sunday of every month. This was the biggest turn out so far with over 2500 cars, trucks and bikes of all sorts showing up for the event! It's high end exotics to rat rods and everything in between. If you're in the area, be sure to check this incredible happening out, you won't be disappointed. 8am to 11am at Perimeter Mall The Scalpel drew lots of attention all morning. It was great meeting all the people, answering questions and explaining the car and the sport that is little known to the main stream. The Scalpel will be seen on an upcoming Caffeine & Octane series show that will air on NBC SN late summer. Thanks again to all the people I met and it was great talking to you. Stay tuned |

March 23, 2019 The Scalpel paint project is nearing the end. Some logos and sponsors names and she'll be done. Can't thank Steve Ojeda, Hot Rod Walt, Roy Garren, and House of Kolor enough for their help and support. We're really pleased with the Scalpel's outcome. House of Kolor products are just incredible and second to none. The car is scheduled to be shown at several major car shows throughout the year and hopefully a Canadian race next year to show it's true kolors. Stay tuned.

Feb. 10, 2019 Well the news finally came down on the 2019 L'Ultime Descente Speed Challenge, the event is cancelled. The word from the Canadian group is they ran out of time to proceed with the event. They also commented that they would let the gravity speed racing community know no later than the fall of 2019 IF there would be a 2020 event. Doesn't look good for future events in our opinion. Where does Bodrodz go from here? We are now looking at the possibility of a streamliner build for the Bonneville Salt Flats. We'll keep you posted.

Dec. 9, 2018 Work continues for Bodrodz teammates around the world. Gravity bike rider, Stef Cree of the UK, just finish another incredible gravity bike build for the 2019 season.

The Bodrodz Atomic Scalpel has a new look for 2019. Doug Anderson just finished coloring the Atomic Scalpel and is now ready for lettering and stripes to finalize the project.

Aug. 21, 2018 Team Bodrodz was back together at the 2018 Harewood Soapbox Derby held in Yorkshire, UK held August 18.. It was great to see some of the team back together. Doug Anderson and FastDonnie Schoettler flew in to compete in the SpecKart class. This is a one design class which has which offers up incredible head to head competition. Anderson and Schoettler would finish 6th and 7th in the A finals. Bodrodz Andy Ash would win the SpecKart race and in doing so won the 2018 SpecKart championship. Bodrodz crew members, Jono Searby and Gramham Thompson, would crush the competition in gravity sidecar and win the 2018 Gravity Sidecar Championship. With Graham piloting and Jono taking care of the monkey business, this was their third championship.
Stephen Thomas, the Bodrodz MVP of 2016, won the gravity car class and set a new hill record at the event. It was a great time for the team meeting all the teams and people at this incredible event. The 2018 Harewood Soapbox Derby also raised more than 10,000 pounds for charity. Hoping to make it back next year. BXGR would like to thank everyone who made the Harewood Soapbox Derby such an awesome race. |

Scott Holsenback is healthy and will be back in the cockpit of the new streamliner for the record attempt. Scott will be defending his world record for that class which was set with the ill handling Bodrodz Bullet. Scott has his sights set on WGSA Century Club membership with the new streamliner.
Dec. 21, 2017 2017 is just about history. No doubt the greatest year ever for BXGR. Three new WGSA world records with three brand new gravity cars, a new member into the WGSA Century Club, and three new members to join BXGR. We are looking forward to 2018 with Bodrodz jumping into the gravity speed bike arena and hoping to go after four WGSA speed bike records at the 2019 L'Ultime Descente Speed Challenge. Work will continue on the Scalpel with some aero mods and a new streamliner body will be fitted to the Sliver. All of us at BXGR, would like to thank everyone for their support and following us in 2017.
