Hot Rod C/50 on Ebay
Just what everyone needs, a C/50 drag truck!! Looks like it does pretty good for a heavy truck.

Re: Hot Rod C/50 on Ebay
Foreigners don`t know how to drag race right.It`s like us running the Grand Prix.

Re: Hot Rod C/50 on Ebay
Maybe it's because I've covered NHRA drag racing for over 28 years, or maybe it's because I've lost over 10 close friends who died drag racing, but these videos totally, completely CREEPED ME OUT.
Anyone with half a brain would not have been within 1/2 mile of that place. Wow. Unreal that in this day and age a promoter could put that many people at risk with such a large rig, all that mass, and no safety precautions whatsoever. Not a question of if, but WHEN some one will die. Think what you want about my downer post. No one else gets to argue with me until they have also helped pack up a friends pit area and what is left of us race car with his widow after identifying his body at the morgue. I have. If you were there - don't go back.

Re: Hot Rod C/50 on Ebay
ive been to atv races (rodeo, drag) where spectators and participants will park and hang out in the shutoff area! one atv flipped 3x and landed within 2ft of a woman carrying a baby. i guess people just dont have any clue how quickly bad things can happen.

Re: Hot Rod C/50 on Ebay
I have to agree with earlier posts. The races in the youtube videos looked about as unsafe as it can get.

Re: Hot Rod C/50 on Ebay
That was in Quebec. A few hours north of Bangor, Maine. They do some crazy s**t in those parts I guess..

Re: Hot Rod C/50 on Ebay
When I read the ad I noticed that it was being sold without a motor and I thought "Bummer". Then I watched the videos and saw that he had a 572 in it, then I realized nobody is gonna sell you a truck for 2K with a 572 in it! Heck I'd give him 4K just for the motor alone! I was also shocked at the complete disregard to the safety of the spectators. In this country the local cops would have shut that down in a heartbeat.

Re: Hot Rod C/50 on Ebay
Would that thing be worth $6,000 minimum just because it was fast before they took the motor and trans out?What`s left that isn`t just a hacked-up (as far as stock goes) old medium duty,other than the rear tires?The bumper wasn`t cheap.Where`s the aluminum wheels or even a real paint job?
I think it was too dangerous for the racers as well.Two large trucks racing down a high crown narrow bumpy not even straight road that doesn`t even have the center marked! It`s sanctioned street racing.Sanctioned or not,it`s street racing,which is dangerous.The tradition of road rallying has come under the safety scope.This is worse.We had our "spots" for racing.There were only a few in a large area because it had to have all the stuff to be "right".The races were watched from the starting line or first stretch of 20-30',no farther.Only the one who called the race was at risk down there.These "spots" were on deserted stretches of road.
