Morning Symphony: Banging Gears In A V8 Mack R-Series In New Zealand!

There isn’t much more that we can think of that would torment a driver quite like having to row through an Eaton Roadranger gearbox while trying to hustle the rig it’s working in around like a sports car. That takes a special kind of crazy, someone who feels perfectly invincible in a big rig, can row gears with the grace of divine intervention, and preferrably isn’t humming “Eastbound and Down” to themselves as they do it. The skill it takes to keep a race-prepared rig the size of a Mack R-series upright, moving, competitive and in control is pretty impressive…almost as impressive as the noise coming from the diesel V8 that is shoving this rig along. Terry McGee is at the tiller making everything look like a cakewalk!
