and guess who spotted this interesting site today? F-bodfather himself!!
that would be Mr. Scott Settlemire, manager Chevrolet shows and exhibits... which happens to have a sizeable setup at the TX State Fair.

ROFL... i guess those snapping camshafts put quite a damper on towing capabilities

Toyota doesn't have a truck capable of pulling that trailer...... yet.

That's hilarious. My favorite post on there was "toyota- We're here to race!.. Sorry, we don't do towing."

Ha! That's pretty funny. I'm surprised they didn't create or modify a Toyota to do that though. I mean, that's like Ron Jeremy having to use a strap on.

Wow, that picture is priceless. Makes you wonder if their Tundra (assuming) tow vehicle broke down or it simply did not have the power. I can't imagine Toyota using a Silverado as their tow vehicle for a huge Toyota race trailer....with pictures of Tundras on it. lol Not only is it a race car trailer, it's also a rolling advertisement.
