Guy I do some custom contract work for dealing with rather specialized vehicles did a private invite gathering. So while I was there, I done did grab the cinema camera and went about my way shooting some footage.

I used to like to watch the very rare on TV full on truck racing......

BUT - because the trucks weigh 13 tons, and are actually wayyyyyyyy faster around the tracks, than the cars - they are in essence like giant Go-Carts, with all the weight down low and wide long wheel bases.....

BUT all the crash absorbing barriers around the tracks are designed to stop sedan cars and motorcycles.. which weigh fuck all...

But the trucks go straight through them or over them - and into the crowds....

SOOOOOOO they put speed limiters on the trucks....

And the racing became - well safer, which is GOOD and SANE - and I respect that...

But in regards to the RACING of big, very fast, very powerful trucks, going absolutely flat out...

It really lost it's excitement - which used to make the unrestricted racing so "Ahhhhhhhhhh Wahhhhhhhhh - FUCK!" as the tyres screeched around all the corners and the rear wheels spun - and they slid around under full power....

The race organisers, should have left it as is, and moved the audiences to the areas that the trucks are highly unlikely to go ploughing through....

That would have been a better idea....

And then gradually fortified all the crash barriers with bigger and deeper mounds of dirt over time.....

Yeah, those were interesting times for sure. Most of what I am still involved in regarding the building and design side of things is now in the drag racing and land speed record portion. Cool shit.

@KnowRevolution: Yeah.... the unrestricted truck racing was "really good" - but now they are like a team of old fat women pushing shopping trollies up and down the supermarket aisles..... All in a bunch, the only differences is in the acceleration, brakes and tyres.... and taking advantages of the racing conditions - but all limited to the same very low top speed.... I don't want to see people getting hurt and killed and injured - but there is a area of "really great racing" (like fucking wow!) and then there is transcendence into "very dangerous and just insane"..... The speed limiting totally fucked it.... I don't want to spend time reseaching when the speed limits were introduced and getting racing videos from before that time - but that was fucking brilliant racing... Hard Core and fast.

@KnowRevolution: I keep asking Amr to make "Broom Broom" noises as the drives around changing gears and all that.... still waiting...
