I used to drive a dump with a CAT 3208 non turbo that would smoke like that... Had about 10% of the torque though.

The streets even looked to be a little wet... I am sure the cement barriers could stop those trucks from causing any injuries...

That was pretty cool.



I don't think I'm going to enter my Western Star though, my little Benz engine probally wouldn't cut the musturd:-laf .



My luck I'd tear something up.



Has anyone heard of a race where they start at the bottom of a really steep city street with fully loaded trucks and time them to the top? I've seen pictures some years ago of this but can't remember where its at. Seems like the Northeast someplace.



The picture showed an old cabover log truck pulling the left front tire a foot off the ground!

Note Dame Du Nord in Quebec has one. They drag race bobtail and loaded with full loads of lumber through town up hill. Here's a link to the website http://www.elrodeo.com/
