Wydopnthrtl = Silver Truck

BUZZY in Mich = Black truck with 1 headlight missing
(accidentally uploaded stock tune)

WIKDSVT (L-Menace)= Black truck with slicks/F1s (both headlights)
(cardboard blocking grill, don't laugh I gained .2 and 3mph)

I'll be making one out of plexiglass today and figure out how to make it removeable...

It keeps the air flowing around the truck instead of through the engine room.


Thanks Wikdsvt for the vids!

Think of the front grill on the truck as a giant parachute on the front of the truck.

How much time would a near stock truck gain with a plexicover over the grill?

Guessing.. I'd say .1-.2 and a few mph.

Depending on weather conditions. i think it helps the more powerful trucks, when their going 110-130mph...

I know, but I felt bad.
They were from Canada and used the motorhome to tow their trailer with the race car in it. I have no idea how they got back.

not to kick a man when he's down but i've got to say it:

- tow vehicle gas bill for trip to track $500
- entry fees to track: $30
- blowing up your 10 ton tow vehicle b/c you took it down the track: STOOPID
