What are the fastest trailing arm trucks that you guys know of. I hope to be right there with Paul Baxter when I get mine sorted back out!

Mine has been 5.32 before I owned it. I hope to be a good bit faster than that!

I have seen this truck at the Tulsa track he broke something 1/4 into it an coasted the rest of the way down the track, an still won! besides not being able to keep going

My truck hasn't even been fast enough to bring up anymore. Josh Gray's old truck above is a fast truck. I assume it was trailing arms and coil overs. Maybe Kevin will make me push mine a little and see how quick we can go.

The farm truck has trailing arms. Have not talked to him since they all got famous....LOL
His fastest 1/4 mile time then was 10.13 I believe..May not be as fast as some here, but that beast must weigh 5000 pounds...

I just need to replace my trailing arms and build a bed cover and rear spoiler. I have some stuff in store to make it go quicker, just have to get off my wallet!
