Muscle Truck Turkey Day Race - Final Race This Week!
Hey Guys,
The final race for the trucks will be this weekend! I am getting the exhaust system sorted out on the latest engine swap (a 283 into my C20)...so, I can't be sure when the racing will happen. But, I'll get it all done this weekend, for sure!
I haven't really done any 'official points' for this race...but, there will swag for the two dominant racers, Ccrider and LoS...and I'll probably do something for 'Fast Ford', Fast Dodge' and 'Fast Chevy'
Hey Guys,
The truck is doing pretty well...I managed to quiet th e exhaust a little. I'm going to do some dialing in tomorrow...adjust the valves, check the timing...and she should be good to go.
I'm letting my phone charge up right now, and I'll head down to the track in a bit. I'll try to get this series wrapped up with a good, old-fashioned Saturday Night Shoot-Out!
Here's the bracket, while I fix CrzyTrkrDude's Dodge and finish chargin my phone :)
Round one...
Round two...
I have charge my phone some more...semi's and final's coming a little later
Round three...Semi Finals...
Round four...3rd Place and Final Races...
Wow two in a row...feels good, especially going toe to toe with people with a lot more modding knowledge than myself....I just want to keep learning and keep getting faster....Great Series Event C10. I feel the Lil White Express w/Flames Truck improved as the series went on....proof is in the pudding I guess...still an honor to race against you vets in the Merchants of Speed Pantheon and come out on top..truly humbling to be still in the twilight of my rookie year...thanks to all who keep pushing the envelope of Speed...Peace Always-League of Speed.

Just watched all the action again from the first race to the last...really dig the Series Event and let's hope we can have a few more in 2018...job well done C10 and CCR and it was a blast seeing them run on Tobacco Road...Tobacco Road and Trucks just kinda go together. Awesome Fun...thanks to all who made it happen...racers and host!!!
Thanks Guys...this was a fun race! I just want to do a little recap today.
First of all, the trucks were solid builds and we're fun to watch go down the track...the racing was pretty darned tight throughout the series. CCRider and League of Speed had the trucks to beat, but they didn't have easy paths to the finals!
I didn't keep points on this race...with CCRider changing out trucks, I wasn't really wasn't sure how to score it. But, even with the shorter truck, CCR, still managed to get to the final round in every race...so, I think he is the series Champ!
LoS had a fast truck from the very outset, and he finished off the series with two strong wins! This earns LoS the "Fast Dodge" award for this series. Congtats!
I always give the Ford guys a hard time (even though I have one in the garage). But Traction Event put together a couple of killer old Fords for this race...with his F1 coming on strong towards the end of the series. Hence, earning TE the "Fast Ford" award!
My two Chevies were basically just keeping everyone honest throughout this series. They weren't quit fast enough, but you had a race on your hands when they were in the other lane. So, the "Fast Chevy " award goes to C10.
Mopar Mafia and DadVBall both put together solid builds to round out this field. I think everyone had their trucks net at least a couple wins during this series. It just goes to show how good the competition is, across the board!
Since it is the week before Christmas, I'll keep thsee trucks here til after the holidays. And since I have another race coming right up, you might just see a Muscle Truck/Flying Colors bragging rights race in the near future!
Thanks for racing, Guys! This was a fun one!
- Fantastic!!! Proud of my Silverado as well netting a 2nd and 4th place finishes out of the 5 races — LeagueofSpeed
- I enjoyed this series as well. Thanks to C-10 and Lo$ for their help along the way. — Mopar_Mafia
Busy weekend, just got a chance to sit down and watch the races tonight. Great job everyone! Congrats LOS on the win! Thanks C10 for running them again. It was great racing with everybody!
Merry Christmas!
- I needed the bigger hills to out run your truck CCR — LeagueofSpeed
