Hey Brian,

Some Beater Trucks are headed your way. Tracking # 9114 9011 8986 6962 9455 72

My truck (singular) will be in the mail today...my second truck never came together. So only one truck entered from my garage... I apologize in advance if this messes up the bracket...maybe toss in a filler?


  • I think that I sent 7 Beaters, so it should be okay :) — 72_Chevy_C10

Got Smitty's trucks this week...will be going to PO every other day or so to check. I doubt I'll be doing the actual racing this weekend, probably not until next week - but I hope to post some photos and stuff before the actual race to get some previews in.

Looking forward to seeing all the trucks and speed!

I'll stop at the PO Monday after work for a last pickup and then I'll post entry previews. Looking to race maybe Wednesday or Thursday night. Gonna try a new setup to try and get some better finish line video.

Alrighty...here's the group shot of all the entries. Individual photos are up in the top post. Please verify your entries and if there are any errors, post or PM me ASAP, as I plan to race this week.

The two trucks in the back right are not competing. 2Seven sent in a different set of trucks as seen in the entries list. The trucks in the photo are from the Beater series.


These are some great looking trucks, I'm excited to see them run. Delta6's big rig was a surprise and great looking truck...just cool. Not sure if it looks the fastest but it looks mean. The old beater trucks are great too...straight from the sandbox. Good luck to all the entries! Racing and results will be posted by this weekend.

Video is on the way, needs some more editing

Tournament highlights and commentary

It might have been a small bracket but it wasn't without some great action.

Check out the full bracket results over on Challonge

After battling through 3 Rounds, the Final came down to Traction Event's Flashsider and 2Seven's Escalade...and it was as close as any race had gotten all night......well, almost...

Things started off great with some nail-biting action between the two Flashsider trucks, TE and KHarvest but the early bracket drama really kicked into high gear in the second match. 2Seven's Baja Truck and Clifford Shaw's pick-up through down an honest-to-God tie. Both lane lights were lit, which I think is a first with my sensor finish line. So a second run was needed and Clifford's truck got a much better run and out-paced the Baja for the win.

Clifford Shaw then did it again a couple runs later when his Armored Truck came from behind to narrowly beat out Delta6's Silverado. That was a pretty sweet run. But before we end the first round, another tie came as ISwingPing's BP tow truck danced with C10's tow truck. But in the second run ISwingPing's truck proved that the bracket just wasn't big enough for two wreckers.

There was little drama from there on out shy of a good run between Clifford's yellow pick-up and McJiggles' black ops van. It looked as though the yellow beater was going to claim another win but the van came from behind to get the checkered flag.

The final was as close as any raced we've seen...but there was no tie this time. 2Seven's beefy Escalade got the job done, sending Traction Event's silver streak back to the Michigan with the Redline Derby home game.

 Congratulations to 2Seven for winning Truck-O-Rama II. A great performance from a well made truck.

Man that is awesome, I think that Escalade only had a leg up since it was fresh against such a fast field as proven in the beater truck series. I'm also glad my wife and I continued to drive thru a monsoon in Columbus to drop the trucks off last week. Thank you guys!!!
