    Yea, that Pikes Peak run is insane. I'd be scared to just drive up it normally with those cliffs and lack of guard rails.

    Coolness. And the detroid diesel cumings was 1000hp the benz was 1250hp.

    You guys should check out some of the other truck racing out there. There are truck races that focus on 1/4mile runs too. And on the road course truck races the aceleration of those beasts are as good as any exotic out there.

    Truck related sport is something I would like to see more on television, but the media seems to dislike coverage of them on a wide scale.

    Truck racing is rather big in Europe. 100mph limiters on them (for obvious reasons), water brakes, nearly 2000bhp and a LOT of noise.

    Indeed - results in EXTREMELY loud squealing at every corner and huge plumes of steam. Most entertaining.

    Gotcha... I knew that they did that, but for some reason I thought they used water instead of hydraulic brake fluid or I was picturing a real big puddle of water to slow them down... My brain has taken a leave of absence this morning.

    This is what pises me off tho, in europe they televise the races and they are amazing pices of machinery them trucks, I just wish they would show the truck drag racing here and the circuit racing as well. As a sport it exists here in the US but it dosent get the coverage nascar and other types of racing get. :wallbash:

    both truck and car rally racing involving the pikes peak course or even better televising the WRC (world car rally) nation-wide. Nascar should have a second seat to the rest of this racing because it happens so frequently (daily basis!).
