f-ing bracket racing. run a 8.7 and not get the win light to a 15 second truck. LOL

Those twins are kicking!!!

 

Hell yeah hes lifting both wheels off the ground thats got to be one of the fastest trucks in the world

 

I forgot the name of the guy, but at LFEST 1 there was a red Gen 1 that went 7's, Ralph has a turbo'd gen one that JLP called out, supposed to have a race coming up this weekend or next, ralph is running low 8's

 

Can't get the vid to play. Nevermind, i got the vid to play. That thing is moving!!

 

It's a badass truck, but far from "one of the fastest trucks in the world". I've seen trucks on 10.5 tires run in the looooow 7's, like 7 teens, and don't forget about Bob Rieger and his Outlaw Pro Street S-10, running in the sixes. See below.

Jason Brown? 7.89 @18X on the 1/4. And he did that in like 2000. Got too expensive and time consuming. I haven't seen him in a few years now. The last time I saw it, he ran like 8.09 at 110mph, lifting at about the 1/8th. As I remember, he said it just wasn't right and would break the tires loose right there and it looked violent to me. Had he not let off, crash... By then, it was slammed and chopped, but still had a metal bed and such. I'd think it weighed about 2700 lbs anyway.

7 teens on 10.5's? W's? Were these full size trucks, or trucks like Riegers?

Either way, 8's in a truck is still one of the fastest. Afterall, most run closer to 17's and the list of those quicker than 9.90 is still fairly short. Looking at the "Pro Modified" types, sure several are quick. I read of a Ranger blazing to a 6.395 @ 214+mph... That's proven hard to beat, I'm sure. The quickest 10 are surely in the low 6's to 7.0's. After that, the number of seriously quick pickups drops off considerably. There just aren't all that many.

I can't view the video, but is that a DIESEL powered pickup? If so, 8's is basically phenominal at this point.

 

No, it's a 6.0 liter mod motor with twin 76's on it.

And IIRC, Jason sold his Gen 1, or he's retired it, one of the two.

 

6.0 mod... Well then. Wish I could see the video. 8's is still haulin' in a pickup or a car. It's just "cooler" in a pickup!

Yeah, Jason quit racing his truck in 2001 as I remember. There was no class for it at the time and he was offered a bit of money to run it as an exhibition at some FFW and NMRA type races. With the trouble getting it to remain straight on the track, he was frustrated. It has to be scary to feel something going that fast as it's getting away from you, and knowing if it does, not much can be done for you. He's a real nice guy and it was too bad he called it quits. He told me it was for sale for $60,000 and I was like... That's all? Of course, I know he had well over that in it, but most folks won't spend that for a pickup, race or otherwise. He had it online for ages. Donno if anyone ever bought it, or for how much.

 

I remember seeing it on Ebay back in 2001 I think, yeah for like $55,000. Truck was well worth alot more than that, last I heard its over seas now, but those details were skechy, still seeing a gen 1 run 7's was pretty awesome
