Forgive our strange fascination with wrecks at truck and tractor pulls, but we cannot help ourselves. In this clip we see all the right elements add up to a big thumping crash at the top end of the course. Element one is a high horsepower 2WD Super Stock truck. Element two is a malfunctioning weight sled. Element three is a big ass dirt berm at the top end of the pulling course. Cue violence!
Everything appears to be going fine early in the run and we’re sure the sriver was psyched at how well he was able to get off the starting blocks and get moving down the track. Unfortuntaely, when the weight sled fails to work, meaning that the box on the sled does not climb towards the front and drive the rear wheels into the dirt things go bad quickly.
The truck gets going very fast with tens of thousands of pounds of weight behind it and it all ends up in a jacked up mess at the end of the track. The first shot into the dirt is bad but the second shot, when the sled hits the truck, must have had the driver seeing stars.
Note that the box comes up….after smashing into the truck.
FULL PULL! FULL PULL! FULL PULL!
Thats from my hometown!
