About Me

My photo
Turborail
Hello, My name is Scott Smith, I live in West Valley City, Utah. I am really just a working dude that enjoys my family time, Vacations to tropical paradises and spending some time on the sand. But along with fun and work, everyone needs a hobby. Mine happens to be Turbo charged sandrails. Our car is completely homemade. As you can see, it is a long process just to make changes.... BUT, well worth it!!! Start at the bottom and scroll up as the newest pictures are listed first so that when you return, you don't have to see everything again. Any questions? Feel free to ask. Thanks for looking.
