V12 Detroit semi pullin

I remember seeing a compilation of semi's pulling, one has a V12 Detroit. It was the 20,000 lb class if IIRC. Anyone know the link? I'm trying to find it and can't remember where it was. Thanks.

I looked through that site, and I think the truck is 'Brockasaurus'. Ground Shaker, if you have a vid of that truck, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

After doing some searching for that truck, I found another video, and the name of the truck is Wildfire.

You can't mistake the sound of that thing.

The one closest to the camera has run a 13.8 in the 1/4 mile, no lie. The vid is on there too. You can hear the Jake pop every so slightly when he's shifting.

Anyways, that is a sweet vid too. I can't see that kind of power being easy on trannies or rears, but still nice to see a semi pull the front tire while towing a trailer.
