If I had a bucket list, racing in one of these monsters would be on it.

Re: Truck Drag Race
A typical drag race is 1/4th mile long, about 1300 feet. You're right about the posturing, but as I watched the video I was wondering why those trucks didn't simply blow up. There is a whole lot of flaming going on.
Re: Truck Drag Race
the first huge ball of flame had me thinking it had caught on fire! you'd think it also gets a bit warm in the cab.
Re: Truck Drag Race
I'm sure the drivers wear fireproof jump suits. The track master (the guy with the flags for starting the race), however, is in the most precarious position of all between the two trucks supervising the staging before the race starts. I still think it would be thrilling to run that race.
Re: Truck Drag Race
did you ever see this? I might have posted it before - it goes about as far as one can get from flaming trucks:
