Re: Autocross Dually
I may give this a whirl on Sunday at Goodguys in Fort Worth. Although my truck is a tad shorter It might still be fun on the tight turns!

Re: Autocross Dually
While I commend the effort, it does give me a chuckle.

Too long of a wheel base, he barely even made a couple of those turns and really had to check up, and that was a rather large course compared to what I've seen at alot of the goodguys and super chevy events. Funny to watch though.

Wow! Didn't think the turning radius on a long crew would be tight enough for that!

And it wasn't (really) if you look at it close, he swung pretty wide on a couple of those turns and nearly hit cones with the nose. Not enough power to kick the rear around I suppose, little tough to drive with the throttle in a vehicle of that size

If I took my truck around something like that, it would likely just flip over

Bet his arms were tired after sawing the wheel lock to lock and back again! Giving that hydroboost a workout too. Brake, turn turn turn turn brake, gas, brake, turn turn turn turn....
