Exclamation TBSS's gonna put the SMACK DOWN...uhm...DOWN!!!

Great news. I am honored to have received an invitational to the Inaugural Truckin' (magazine) Throwdown!!


Truckin’ magazine presents THROWDOWN, where once the tire smoke clears one truck owner will be named Champion of the performance truck world.

Good Morning Enthusiasts,

Congratulations, by reading this, you are the owner/builder of an elite performance truck and we'd like to officially invite you to this year's THROWDOWN.

We’re seeing the trend of custom trucks move towards performance with owners wanting to see a return on their investment and we want you to be a part of the revolution by participating in the only truck-specific performance shootout.

Truckin’s THROWDOWN is a one-day event that will push your truck to its limits by competing against other high-performance hot-rods with beds in the following tests:

0-60-0 mph acceleration/stopping
1/4-mile performance
600-ft slalom
Technical, multi-turn autocross course
Styling competition
And new for this year, we’re working with the facilitators of El Toro Marine Base to let use a 2.25-mile road course.


-Event coverage and features will be appear in a late Summer issue.
-Video features for each truck and video footage of the event will go live on Truckinweb.com

Here is a link to last year’s THROWDOWN, which really was just us having fun, but it was such a huge success, we turned into a bona fide event. http://www.truckinweb.com/events/110...010/index.html

For a quick teaser trailer from last year, check out:
