5 ton race truck

[DaveP]

thought i would share a photo or two of the truck that will be on the race track doing laps on Saturday night at Whitemore Speedway.
its a short banked oval so i had to get her all tuned up and ready for the short track.

I guess i lucked out with the gearing as the stock 6.44's should do well.

Sweet truck Dave, still have a soft spot for the look of canvas tops.

 

[DaveP]

Thanks gimp. that soft top soaked my butt last weekend on my M313 recovery trip!

i'm with you tho on the look of the soft tops.

is there a purpose for being on the track or do you just like going in circles?

why, you want to drive your truck and it don't turn right?

nothing like a 5 tonner "drifting"...

Do we need to shim the right side so you can come down the wall into curves better? Maybe a cab wing to keep her to the track?

 

[TedG]

Sweet truck Dave!

 

[Numbers]

How many degrees of banking does it have ? ...and do you get to crush the losers ?

we will be in Oscoda MI for A ground breaking Ceremonies at Veterans Memorial Park of Northeast Michigan that takes place on Mon. well on sat night before Memorial Day the speedway has a Military theme night.
Bob H has set it up with them for any of us at the Memorial site that want to attend can run the track at intermission!!
This track is only 35-40 miles from where we will be camping for the weekend events.

i'm sure the NDT's will really hang in there. or out!

 

[DUG]

I think you need to run XLs on the right side to get the proper "stagger". Good luck!

 

[Pawnshop]

That would be an awesome pace car!

 

[m.walker]

Nice truck ! Probably be the first set of NDT marks on the track .
