Navigator, Communications Technician and general computer geek :)
Brandon "B" Woods
Hello, I'm Brandon! How are you today? Thank you for Visiting FBDR.net. Here at Far Beyond Driven Racing we are dedicated to our vehicles as much as we are to our Friends and Family. So, your hear to read my Bio. Well Where should I start. I'm a Computer Geek, a HAM radio operator, an avid car buff, and an electronics nut. I work on computers for my day job as a an IT Technician. I have worked on cars and trucks for most of my life.
One day a many moons ago, D'Cheat came over to my house with a new car. I knew it was him about two minutes before he pulled into my driveway just by the sound of the exhaust. When he pulled into the Driveway and climbed out of his new Rally car he just smiled and said "Look what I just bought!" I couldn't help but smile. We talked about what the car could do and what it had been through. I then asked him if he was looking for a navigator and he said "as a matter of fact I am" and thus I wound with a job as a navigator. I was very excited to say the least.
Since our first few runs with the old Bug eye, I have studied quite a few different roads, trails and hills around the greater Nevada and California area. I have experience in trail mapping and am a quick study of roads and different obstacles for course notes. I'm also our radio/coms guy between the car and the pit/chase crew. I maintain the on board computer system that monitors the cars vitals and gives me a readout of our current time and travel distance. I can also monitor our speeds and many other variables.
Anyway I'm glad you came by to take a look at our Site. The fact that you even clicked on my profile makes me happy. Thanks for coming by.

Driver, Head fabricator and technician, general pain in the butt

Oh Hi! For some reason, you have stumbled to this strange part of the interwebs. Welcome! Gods.. About me. Well, I'm the driver and the madman behind most of what we build here at Far Beyond Driven Racing. I have a passion for all things automotive. From racing, to rock crawling. From Mud Trucks to LowRiders. I find them all fascinating and often times works of art. That being said, I like to build... unique vehicles. From rock crawler Bronco II's to a subaru SVX with a corvette drivetrain. Often times, people have heavy biases to one brand or another. Ford vs Chevy. Import vs Domestic. To me parts is parts. You want me to install a subaru drivetrain in your mustang? Good gawds, im your man! You have a classic thats loved by a band of devote followers that cry when you so much as change the wheels, and you want to widebody, cage and race it? You and I will get along just fine :)
I have always love vehicle dynamics. How to make a car handle. From tight apex turns to gravity defying rock crawling. It all comes down to math and a bit of fabrication. And nothing feels better than getting it right.
I love to drive. To make vehicles do things that seem to defy logic. Im not the best driver in the world. Not by any means. However, I love exploring a cars limits. Finding that razors edge on a racetrack or a rally stage and taking the car to that edge. To me, there is nothing like it in the world. Its absolute perfection. Automotive Zen. I feel absolutely at home surrounded by a rollcage with the firm hug of a racing harness around me. Once the helmet slips on and I hear that engine roar to life, its all I need. Thats why we are Far Beyond Driven. We take our creations to that absolute edge and beyond. We dont hold back when we race. We are there to push harder, drive bolder and finish stronger than anybody else there!
AAaaaaany way! Thanks for taking the time to read up on us! See you at the track!
