Truck racing!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wfzfU1N1M4

You guys will love this! Who are you cheering for CAT or Cummins?

I'd love to see the EGT's on one of those at the top of the hill, the pistons are probably just starting to liquify! I also imagine the transmission fluid is boiling and the clutch is on fire from the launch.


Looks like a lot of fun though!

Here is a big Mercedes diesel!

Anybody can drift or power slide a Miata, an over the road truck takes a bit more skill.

..standing insanely close to way too much inertia.... something goes sideways, and that'd be hundreds of crushed people.

Its like rally racing, the crowed isn't happy unless they are 1/2 an inch away. Thankfully their are still countries not as litigious as ours where this can still happen.
