Trophy Trucks are the fastest class of off-road racing vehicles which are designed and built to resemble modern pickup trucks. Although any truck that meets the safety standards can race the trophy truck class, they, for the most part, feature long travel suspensions and high power engines. They are intended for desert racing, and most are not street legal like their practice counterparts, the pre-runners. Trophy Trucks can reach speeds in excess of 135 miles per hour even over rough terrain. This puts them among the fastest off-road vehicles in the world. The trucks are most frequently associated with the Baja 1000 race, series that have featured trophy trucks including SCORE International, and Best In The Desert or BITD, in which they are referred to as "Trick Trucks".

2012 will be the start of a new a beginning for Mark and Gary Weyhrich’s TSCO racing program. The brothers have decided to open their own shop and race home in East County, California. When the location is secured, this 10,000 sq. ft building will be the new home of TSCO Racing. It will be a state of the art race prep & fabrication facility for their stable of Desert Trophy Trucks, and Luxury Raptor Prerunners. For the first time, they will be handling the race prep of their vehicles. This means ending a long-standing relationship with Stewarts Raceworks in Santee.

Craig Stewart and the team at Raceworks has been the main hub for TSCO’s race program for well over 12 years. They have prepped and prepared winning race vehicles for the Weyhrich’s race team admirably, allowing 3 BITD class one championships, countless class victory’s, and many overall victory’s in both Score & Best in the Desert Races.
