(Words and Photos by Charles Wickam) I’ve been around the Bangshift guys for quite a while and have come to learn what Chad and Brian like and dislike pretty well. Yeah they both love drag racing, but I want to go out on a limb and say their #2 favorite involves trucks, Brian he is a huge fan of monster trucks while Chad will profess his love of baja style trophy trucks and prerunners, now me I love what you get when you combine the two, MEGA TRUCKS! Part monster truck, part trophy truck. Now you may say a Mega Truck is nothing but a monster truck with smaller tires, well you are right to a certain extent. Today’s mega trucks are getting lower centers of gravity and insane amounts of wheel travel like you would see in the off-road racing rigs with the ability to soak up bumps, pitch it into corners, and not give a second thought of tipping over. Now I’ve gone down the youtube rabbit hole watching mega truck videos but this is my first time seeing these beasts in person, trucks like Wicked 55, Psychotic, Rednecks with Paychecks, and Screamin Demon just to name a few. These guys are not afraid to wheel their trucks and put on a show and they did that very thing running a timed course to see who was the fastest of the fast.
