Found this a couple years before I bought my 1st Gen, and stumbled across it again.

Sorry, I don't know how to embed videos...

 

Not a bad looking run considering that wasn't what it was built to do.

 

^^^^thats what i was thinking!! that announcer guy was really funny to even though i dont think he was trying to be

 

I wanna try that!

 

Thanks for posting that vid up. been awhile since I saw it. I dont think he did too bad.

 

He said something about seein him at the gas pumps?? lol not alot of people know these trucks get 20mpg +

 

I work for Mid Con which is part of Chesapeake energy, and we get to do this in our work trucks. Then we get to do it in their cars, last year they said they had Audi TT turbo's.

 

looks like fun but there is no way my truck would ever make some of them turns.

 

Not unless you can break the rear tires loose and slide around them..

 

Which is hard to do in most turns, as those SCCA events are primarily designed to handle the vehicle at fairly low speeds. It is rare that you have to shift into 3rd gear and most hairpin turns happen after you had to slow down the vehicle quite a bit. Most of it is about carrying some momentum: dang, with a dually I just can imagine the momentum that's carried into a tight turn...

I wonder if Rick - TotallyRad - knows who that guy was...

 

Bet that would be fun to try in my long bed 4x4
