Round track vid.

The quality is poor, the race was good!
Unfortunately I lost the race due to (2) spinouts.
Barnyard Barns won the race for best driver and I got the Big Kahuna award.

I would even buy some nice round track slicks.

GO FAST...TURN LEFT

What more do you need to know.

I can't begin to tell you how much fun it was!
A rematch is in order.

On another note, I almost hit the wall three times.
Twice during practice runs and once during official race.

I removed my helmet before I got out of the truck.

Great Video!!!

Man my heart is still Thumping!!! Does the forward weight transfer (a nose heavy truck) and banking cause an oversteer condition as you enter the turns? It looks like your entry line is fine and then the nose just fell off on those spins. That must have been a blast!!!

I think you're right about the weight transferring.
I gained too much speed on the backstretch/turn one
causing the *** to kickout from underneith me.

Rich, I'm running a full Basanni exhaust.

Looks like fun..............If any L guys do this again just let me know and hook you up with all the hoosier round track slicks you could use......they are take offs but we only use them for one heat cycle then chunk them.

Great race Ron Rairie, Despite the two spin outs I think you handled the truck quite good.

Ron,

I assume those tires are close to flat-spotted now, huh? Have you ever raced your truck at Texas World Speedway near College Station? I think that would be even more fun that a short-track oval like you were on.

Glad you had a great time and came out unscathed.
