Missing home.

[Bradleyrj]

I got home tonight and started missing home, missing some of my old friends. Got to thinking about some of the guys I used to hang out with and wrench on the trucks for them (notice I said trucks)..Back home we play in the dirt as much as we do the race track. Here are some pics of some of the stuff I do when im home. The "Miss Behavin", and "Wild Horses" trucks are owned by the same man. His wife drives Miss Behavin and his son is in Wild Horses (the kid started driving when he was 14). Myself and the trucks owner completely built these two trucks.






Randel Miller, kinda the ring leader of the group. Also has two trucks. One Pro street and one Pro stock. The pro street trucks lacks mufflers and insurance and it would be street legal (and removal of the weight box up front). The pro stock trucks are allowed to run what are called "bar tires". Similar to Chevron pattern tractor tires but like in Monster truck racing they cleats are almost completely shaved off and sharpened. I also had a huge part to do with the builds of both of these trucks.

Pro Street truck



Pro Stock truck




Now Chuck and Danny. Father and Son team, each have a truck. Chuck is in the Kentucky Express, Danny in Scrambled. (Danny and his brother own a chicken farm, hence the name)




And lastly Donald. Donald plays the same role I do in this operation. Mechanic to everyone but he chose to build one of these toys where I chose to stay with Mustangs.


All the trucks are big block fords, limited to 480 cubic inches, Pro stock can run aluminum heads, but all have to run one carb, and head / intake package must accept a "stock type" gasket.. so most run super cobra jet heads or a variance on those.

Here is one vid of Randels truck. 300 feet is a full pull, the sled typically weights about 30K lbs.
