Eli Goldsmith showcased his prototype military vehicle "The Hyena Project" at this year's LS Fest West. It started as just a frame with basic components, but now features an upgraded L96 engine and a 6L90 transmission. Originally built for military special forces use, The Hyena had seating for five with four gun mounts, though modifications have changed the layout. Eli's team includes military veterans and his partner Evie, who handles behind-the-scenes work. After over a year of development, Eli drove the Hyena for the first time, finding it nimble and capable despite its minimal setup. He plans to race in events like King of the Hammers and the Mint 400, and looks forward to further refining the vehicle and showcasing it at LS Fest 2025.
