Muscle Truck Turkey Day Race - Final Race This Week!

Mine will be in the mail today, with a few oddball prize trucks.

I might not get mine off until Friday....may have to build another truck...the Willy pulled to the left stock/out of the blister and still does even after setting the axels and a nice set up time in the axel jig....it loses way to much speed hugging the left rail....looks good, but not up to my standards on the speed requirements. I will have two(2) trucks to you on time...fear not. 

Got another MB 56 Ford torn down and a 83 Silverado with a FTE package awaiting...so,I'll be ready. To the shop!!!

I'm shooting to get 2 trucks out Friday. One is a recycled '56 Ford that had to lose some weight and wheelie bars. Hoping it will be competitive this time. Still working on truck 2 but it's looking pretty good as far as getting finished. 

Speed is an elusive Mistress at times...both MB 56 Fords are sleds....the 83 Silverado after the Graphite Bay is going to be sendable.....contender, that remains to be seen, but worthy of racing I hope. I'm putting together another truck now....salvaged an FTE package for it....and I'm loving every minute of it!!!!

I think I make nicer vehicles for my friends than I do for myself! This will be CrzyTrkrDude's rig for this race

Got my trucks mailed late this afternoon. Supposedly will be there on Monday. 

I've got trucks from Mopar Mafia and Traction Event so far. 

I'll start with a weigh-in video and team pics once the gang is all here and then we'll start some racing. Depending on how the week goes, I'll run at least two races, maybe more!

Good luck to everyone and thanks for racing!!

Sending my two (2) off in the morning...2-3 day priority...looking forward to it.

Wow, now I know how pit crews feel when the car gets wrecked during qualifying...as of Thursday I had two sleds with no snow...but I cobbled together two trucks and got them off to NJ in time...I haven't missed a race at C10's since I joined RLD and I thought my streak was in jeopardy!!!

I've built these two trucks very differently than I have in the past...and I'm pretty happy with them.

If the techniques I used in these builds works out well, I'll do a build thread or maybe even a build video, on them (or, maybe, when I build a Flying Colors car). It's all proven stuff, it's just a bit different than my standard setup.

Stay tuned...some speed secrets, hopefully, coming soon!
