Semi's drag race.... Pulling a load

Wow.. Did you see that one on the left twist? I dont' think there are many road-going frames tougher than a Semi's, and that truck just twisted like it was made of plastic.

 

if you watch a bad truck driver take off from a light they all twist some, not that much but I could understand if you put the coal to it. But with that long of rails I guess I wouldn't be surprised, my uncles log truck was coming onto a road once and the trailer flipped over but the truck didn't.

I'm a fan of tractor/truck/semi pulling. there are rigs that will carry BOTH front tires nearly 300 feet while pulling the sled, making 4000HP.

 

Also, 100lbs of boost ain't shit. i have a piston from an Alice/chalmers D-21 that made 3000hp off 4 compounded turbos, making 240 lbs of boost. The rotating assembly held up to the task, but the engine block split in half horizontally.
