Yeh . I help Taylor at TRE with some stuff. We tested in Nobile the week before last. I am doing my own truck project currently . What is he asking for it ? I heard it has been 4.90s now. I do know someone looking for a truck . I don't know how serious he is . This is the fastest small tire truck that I know of. Looks like there are a few guys in Ok. getting him to do stuff now. What did the truck weigh? I saw 3400 + lbs somewhere. I didn't know if it had a good bit of ballast or not. Was crazy I have never seen so many trucks at a local track in my life as Nobile.

I think $50,000 turn key. Yes he went 4.90's earlier this year. He has to be at 3300 for class weight and I think he just over that with him in it. There is a lot of "fast" trucks up here. Some of these guys put a programmer and a cold air intake on and call it a "Built race truck" haha

This might be a little off tangent, but the race weight thing had me thinking. Why isn't there ever a racing category with high weight minimums? I know that some bracket orgs will do a "diesel class" or similar for those hd trucks, but I never see like a "fully dressed" category. (but I don't mean a daily driver category)

I'm just bs'ing the idea, but I've had similar discussions with friends while barstool racing. I'm referring more for the oddball vehicles (and that in itself may be the reason no category would make sense). /ot

Make it lite. Put the weight where you want it. Heavy cars can be hard on parts also

HemiChallenger71 · 10-15-2014, 11:30 AM

Heavy cars are also more dangerous in a wreck.

Does this truck have the Scots hot rods front end? They were telling me about trucks down here. I think the farm truck is switchin now .

70shortwide · 10-31-2014, 11:24 AM

No, this truck does have a tubular front end but its all custom built by him. Im sure the front end in this truck is lighter than the Scotts.

This truck went 4.85 2 weeks ago in Tulsa. This weekend hes shooting for a 4.7? in the x275 class

moggey01 · 11-04-2014, 01:55 PM

how did it run?

70shortwide · 11-04-2014, 02:03 PM

He changed the converter and killed his 60. His fastest pass was a 4.88 at 146 and he got runner up in a 16 car field!!
