has been for several years now, though the 'trucks' are just pastiche
bodies pasted over more-or-less regular nascar chassis. they aren't
even close to fullsize. nor are the races biathlon format - race a
few laps, stop and shoot at roadside targets...
" I see quite a few trucks around where I live that give every appearence
" of being built for drag racing.
there are folks that will dragrace anything with a motor. there's an
active bunch racing cummins diesels, the b5.9 that normally makes
300hp. they're up to 1500hp and 3000 ft-lbs and are having difficulty
finding transmissions that will stand up, even 1/4mi at a time.
serious mud boggers will place the engine in the middle; weight
distribution counts...
