You need to mount the camera to face the rear, since no one is ever ahead of you

Im really suprised they let you run with the ladder rack and ladder on that! Badass run but I would be hesitant on running next to you with you running 100+ mph with a ladder on it. The track here is really strict. Dont see anything like that. Congrats that is a badass setup youve got there

I have 2 ratchet straps, 2 bungies, and 2 ubolts holding the ladder on. Trust me when I say its not going anywhere.

Why did you even bother with the ratchets and bungees after you bolted it down? If anything I would have thrown a couple more u-bolts on and called it a day. The bungees could stay for effect I guess, but the ratchet straps look goofy and a little but scary IMHO.

Put some zip ties on there for aesthetic value.

I think he's talking about the ladder itself.... And the rack is bolted in.

6.68 at 100+ should be under 10.5 for sure, thinking more like 10.4-10.3, maybe quicker if ran in 2WD.
