Saturday, September 12th, 2026Maulers & Haulers Race Event
**EDIT 7/6/26 - Weight Change moved to 100G from 80g**
Welcome to the Maulers & Haulers Race event. We put up a poll on our social media platformsl, to see if the people wanted to see these races, and it was a major, YES! So here we are. We are giving you three months to plan these builds, and give you plenty of time to test out what works best for you! Please see the approved list to build from, and if you have any questions at all, feel free to message me (Trevor) directly or leave a comment. We are open to as many entries that want to join, but our goal is to hit 16. IF there is major interest we can jump to 32. In the event we fall short, we will hold LCQ’s for those who lost that can get back into the show until we get to the final 8.
Thanks for checking this race out! We look forward to hearing from you!

Well, this is different. Let's do it!
I'm in
- Awesome! I’ll add you! — rush_racing_league
- I’ll be sending the VW the Aston and the hauler all at the same time. Just started working on the vw — RaginRicky_Oregon_Outcast
- That sounds awesome! I’ll make sure to have them kept safe until race day! — rush_racing_league
Sounds like fun I'm in #2
I'll give it a shot.
Dude...just a question about weight...is 79g's the max for any particular reason? Just asking because when I weighed one of my out-of-the-package MB Actros from the Track Fleet...it weighed 100g's
ive got the truck I'm gonna send (NOT the Actros) but just thought I'd inquire
cheers
- I wanted 80 g to be the Max, and most people add a gram, to push that boundary of penalties. But I have three track fleets and they all weighed in around 60 to 65g so I was just trying to give people room to put more weight in. That’s crazy that that truck weighs 100 g by itself. I wasn’t trying to eliminate any other trucks or anything like that, but I also think my track might not handle that much weight lol it’s pretty fast. — rush_racing_league
- No worries bud…I can make the weight…but just like UncleElvis said…some people are gonna need to take weight out vs put weight in — Crazy_Canuck
That max weight is detrimental. I have 6 Track Fleet rigs handy and none are that light, stock.
Going to be doing some body modding
- Ugh! I’m so sorry! I thought I was really thoughtful going to 80g! *sad face* — rush_racing_league
I want in.
- I’ll add you! Thanks for joining! — rush_racing_league
- However, I don't have a trailer. — Highway355Racing
- I missed your last comment. The factory trailer is required! — rush_racing_league
Ok after some thought about it I'll put something together. I worked one summer on a farm in the Willamette Valley as I was finishing a college degree around 1983. Early mornings getting a produce truck loaded out in the fields. Then running deliveries to the local supermarkets. On one of my first trips driving the small flatbed I took a corner a bit fast and lost 2 boxes of lettuce. I got them back on the truck ok and made the deliveries. Upon returning I caught some hell as this old guy had friends all over town who had reported the incident. Damn. Late in the summer I was driving the big flatbed with eight pallets of corn and green beans into Portland to do an exchange at a produce company to get eight pallets of watermelons and cantaloupes. This took longer than planned so I was running late hustling out of Portland. I came close to losing the entire load as I entered the Terwilliger curves a bit too hot. A brief vision of being on the 11 o'clock news flashed through my fevered brain.
- I love that story!!! And thanks for joining in!! We can work on a story line for you?!? Let’s talk! — rush_racing_league
I'd like to try, please assign #73 to my entry.

I'll take a spot 4t
