Its gonna be sweet!!

I need to see this, would be awesome from the driver's seat, but for some reason I don't think I can convince my wife that it is a logical progression from lemons/chumpcar to this...

How many race drivers can handle a semi? How many semi drivers can handle a race course? I see some real fun learning experiences.

I'm picturing the Top Gear "Let's Race Airport Equipment" episode.

Mine's not buying either.

I've already started shopping for a vehicle. I work for a heavy truck OEM, I have raced many crapcan events, and I talk with my coworkers all the time about how cool it would be to build a race truck. Out of excuses now, I'm the target audience!

Hummm. Time to call my uncle who owns a diesel truck repair facility and see what he has on the back 40.

Im amazed that this exists. World is slightly cooler now.

Actually they're nothing that one of the newer ton dually pickups can't tow. Well, they shouldn't be if they're in race shape. Look at about 11,000 tops. Trailer plus spares and you'r looking at 16-17? A lot of trucks can tow that.

"2.2.16. Must not have 2-stroke diesel engines"

Why'd they outlaw the old Detroit?

I'd guess because it's designed to leak oil while running, and that is a bad thing on a race track.
