Default And they Said I was Nuts As A Truck Driver

This warms my heart to see this video. Of course he can do it because he has a single axle instead of tandem drive axles but it still looks like a blast. Also notice how close the spectators and cars are parked to the spectacle.

Bob: I am sure you can do the same thing; with the talent I have seen on the track it should be a piece of cake.

I like how the cab looks like it's going to twist off the chassis. Don't think I'd park my car where the camera was though /:\

That's awesome! Rhys Millen thought that it was cool to drift in a trophy truck. Apparently, he hasn't seen this yet.

Are you sure you meant to say talent or did you mean lack of sense?

those trucks have some serious tech built into them.

their braking system has a water mist cooler, since no amount of air ducts would help.

they also probably make like 2000lb/ft of torque
