These Hot Rodded Big Rigs Lay Down Some Impressive Numbers At Famoso! Fast Muscle Car Territory

Today we have for you some large and lovely quarter mile entertainment that was captured at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, California at the National Hot Rod Diesel Association drag races a couple of months ago. Basically you are going to see one full pair and a single pass featuring three modified big rigs that have been set up to go drag racing. The numbers that these modified trucks lay down are awesome and we bet that there is not a ton of money wrapped up in them and that ingenuity and creative thinking are still the name of the game in this class. The trucks look to be competing in the Pro Street class and while this category is not limited to these big trucks, they are our favorites to watch.

While we cannot speak directly to what the engines are in any of the three trucks it sure sounds like the third truck is packing a two stroke under the hood. Incidentally, that truck is the quickest of the bunch and it really flies. To us, these trucks are among the more fun parts of the hot rodding spectrum because they’re so wrong that they’re right. The hunkered down look, bobbed chassis, and angry sounding exhaust note are three elements that just make these trucks perfect.

We can envision a low buck drag racing series with these things that would be hilarious. Buying a tired old rig and stripping weight, tuning up the engine and running it balls out down the quarter would be huge fun and these guys can attest to it. Yes, we know there’s the Champ Truck road racing series but that seems to have gotten pretty serious right off the bat. This would need to be a budget restricted deal to keep it stupid, fun, and cheap. Watch this video and tell us what you think!
