Yup, those are semi-trucks racing around the clay oval of Grays Harbor Speedway last night! God Bless The USA! Title: Re: Makes me proud to be an 'Merkan: Post by: stroh on July 26, 2009, 09:35:40 AM ;D [sm_thumbsup2]

Title: Re: Makes me proud to be an 'Merkan: Post by: MFAWG on July 26, 2009, 09:52:13 AM They 'Only' had 9 trucks, which doesn't sound like alot, until you realize they're fricking SEMI's !
They're basically stock, too. At least two of them still had the trailer hitch thingies on 'em! Gut the inside, bolt or weld in a roll cage, cut the rear drive axle off and go racin'! And race they did. Several incidents of 3 wide racing (NASCAR has trouble with that everywhere except Michigan and California) and they were NOT shy about using the chrome horn Lots of happy rednecks last night. Me included! ;D Title: Re: Makes me proud to be an 'Merkan: Post by: gleek on July 26, 2009, 10:09:21 AM Just goes to show that if you make anything move in around in a circle, people will gather to watch.
Title: Re: Makes me proud to be an 'Merkan: Post by: MFAWG on July 26, 2009, 10:24:55 AM But they won't jam the frickin' the place like they did last night, especially at 20 bucks a head when the normal weekly show is 12 or 13.

Bar Stool Racing FTW! Title: Re: Makes me proud to be an 'Merkan: Post by: Blader on July 26, 2009, 02:50:44 PM I tell people I once saw Mack truck racing on ESPN years ago, and they look at me like I've dropped in here from another dimension.

That's not cricket. No really.

Kenworth and Peterbilt fans no doubt. True fans are loyal about their brands. Hell #3 sold more Chevrolets than Seger ever did.

The OCHO! I'm telling you, it was real. This is not a rabbit-hole memory. Title: Re: Makes me proud to be an 'Merkan: Post by: Fuzzy on July 27, 2009, 10:27:01 AM I actually remember seeing some truck race on the TV...maybe ESPN? It wasn't on dirt though.
Title: Re: Makes me proud to be an 'Merkan: Post by: Walfredo on July 27, 2009, 10:41:57 AM That looks so awesome. I'd go watch that.
Title: Re: Makes me proud to be an 'Merkan: Post by: MFAWG on July 27, 2009, 09:52:57 PM Here's a little better pic. 3 wide at speed.
This is actually more impressive than it sounds. They're frickin SEMI's and the track isn't much, if any, wider than a 2 lane road. A 2 lane road that's dirt, and has a solid concrete wall running all the way down it/ Title: Re: Makes me proud to be an 'Merkan: Post by: Blader on July 28, 2009, 04:48:39 AM Dennis Weaver surrenders
