I canāt believe that theyāre not exploding something in the drivetrain transferring all that torque from the motor to the rear wheels. Iāve twisted a few drivelines hauling heavy equipment. They look like those popping fresh biscuit tubes after you open themā¦

Iāve had diesel pickups with turbos that can plain old get after it. Leaving other trucks and cars behind in a cloud of smoke. I thought it was pretty cool so I posted it. Itās like the tractor pulls. Pretty awesome what can be done with an engine.

šonI was wondering the same thing. Looks like some frames getting twisted. One thing for sure is you better get out of the way if you see one belching smoke like that. š³

Thatās wild Fourchon! Those modified are really faster than the more stock, and they really āblow some coalā! Iām surprised they donāt use harnesses or helmets in them, but I guess they donāt really ever crash them.

That is some serious heavy drag racing and mega polluters, in CA that wouldnāt be allowed. I did 1/4 mile in 63 until I broke a U joint at the starting line and had to get towed home it cost $18 so I quit. Raced at sand drags in 1989 100 yards. I still go to 1/8 mile drags to watch only.

Yeah, youād have protesters laying on the trackš. Use to do some grudge racing at the Fremont drag strip in Cal. back in ā67/ā68 in my ā60 Chevy Impala. I would wipe out the carrier bearing almost every time. Always kept a couple of spares in the trunk. I could swap one out in 30 minutesā¦
