They really do race the FULL oval in the rain.

That looks fun, did they run the SCSA cars in that weather?

pick ups are cool.....they are big and make a great growling noise with their big nasty V8 'ingines!

I'm surprised they run even the pick-ups in the rain...!
Startline Ed - June 27, 2007 10:24 AM (GMT)
Pickups arent that fast<sarcasm>. 130mph in the wet with concrete and lots of other trucks!

| Not these ones - They run Vauxhall 4-pots... Technical Specs. |
229BHP? That's about the same as a PSP innit?
<sleep>
No wonder they can run in the rain!

If you think they're boring you need to see them.
130mph, running nose to tail, 3 or 4 wide with several cars capable of winning as they come out of the last corner.

130 mph on an oval must look incredibly slow. I've got a video of me doing a ton on a dragstrip and it looks like I'm at walking pace!!

Poke around on their website and you can find videos of them running, so you can judge for yourself!
I'm not a big fan of the ovals - but they also run on standard circuits as well, Including at Pembrey in October supporting the British Truck Racing Association's 3rd visit (they must like us!). Looking forward to that!

I dunno. SCSA used to be a great series.

Quite why a pickup needs an 8.3 V10 and 155mph I'll never know. I guess it's all part of America's plan to take over the world by suffocating all the other countries.....!
