Short Haul: Drag Racing Iron Giants

Published: Nov. 21, 2019, 7:01 p.m.

This is going to be an interesting episode because we are giving you a Convoy Radio Short Haul on truck drag racing and we're not talking about Ford F-150s – we're talking about big rigs! The Convoy Radio crew gets into what exactly truck drag racing is, covering where it originated, the different classes of trucks, the weight of the loads, and the massive top speeds these iron giants reach.

We also get into a variation of truck drag racing called The Bandit Big Rig Series. In this event, you have smaller, tailor-made rigs that compete on a circuit track. You’ll hear more about the rigs themselves, and how the tournaments are structured, too. Hit the play button and join us in our appreciation of these smoke-billowing, turbocharged iron giants.
