The Liberty Bell

Thought you guys might enjoy this.<br>Metzger Trucking is home to the the worlds most competitive truck, the Liberty Belle. The Liberty Belle is a 1976 Kenworth which is powered by a 1150 cubic inch, 4-turbo, water injected,QSK19 Cummins Diesel that produces 3,500 hp+ and 5,000lb-ft + of torque. At maximum power, the Liberty Belle consumes about five gallons of diesel in 300' (that's .05 miles/gallon) <br><br>Pictures and a pulling video can be found here.<br>

Looks like that thing should have a couple more sleds hooked to it. That looked way too easy. ;D<br><br>Rob

Re:The Liberty Bell

I did. Great looking rigs for the pulls. I couldn't believe some of the Demo racing. Pulling house trailers around behind whatever and smashing them right up. Looked great watching somebody's car &amp; trailer drive right thru another one. Crap all over the track. LOL
