Pickup Truck Spectator Drags | Beech Ridge Day of Destruction #1 JUN 2021 

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣

Its the white crew cab gmc

@@icyhotmike and the single cab with canopy

I think it's diesel swapped if my ears, and eyes aren't lying too me. His side exit has quite a bit of black residue on it, and it has almost no engine noise. It's all turbo.

@@inutil6117 it’s got an LS with a turbo. Black residue is from over fuel.

@Proud American they are the exact same thing

‘‘Twas a tale of two turbos

looks like the fender liner is on fire from the hot turbo.

Yup, turbo leaking oil onto exhaust or a wiring loom too close to exhaust manifold is my guess

Good eye

Nice catch

Lol thats wut brought me to the comment section

I don't think the guy knows what tires are.

true! tundra would've won if it was on the inside

Not true at all. I own our local spectator drag win record for six years in a row, and I've started on the inside, on the outside, I've been asleep at the wheel on the start, etc. ---> The SECRET is a small, super light vehicle with a small turbo that spools really quickly, combined with ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE that THROWS you out in front immediately (no matter WHAT lane you're in). After that, it doesn't matter one single bit because they're stuck behind you. This is a race of immediate torque that you can lay down to the pavement. Horsepower doesn't matter one single bit in a Spectator Drag. ...six years of wins in a row. EDIT: I also bought a "Lifetime Alignment" package from Firestone for a one-time fee of $150. I have a tech throw a left-turning "circle track" alignment on the car the day of the drags. Then have it re-aligned back to normal the next day. It all depends on how much you want to win.

He's right though. Unless they can get off the line quickly and pass. Most don't want no contact so it's hard to pass when inside has the shorter line and can brake on the corners to maintain grip. I would of liked to see 2 passes on both inside and outside on each truck just to see...

The guy won on the outside lane though.

@@imnottellinudontwannaknow3188 no way he was a truck length behind before the turn

He didn't trust that loose cannon in the white chevy wouldn't hit him, the right move I'm sure

Hey, thanks!

One wheel peel

Nice. I wouldn’t have wanted to hit the little red truck either

@@americanmusclemaniac9565 honestly you sign up for it you get what you get but I was nice this time! Lol

Good driving, I was worried for the red Ford a couple times lol

@@Carbon_Video eh if I wanted to play bump and run I could have lmao! The twin turbo helped my truck off the line

Did you launch in 4wd?

I cant believe nobody noticed that XD

at 11:28, which truck was you?

Of course! Some great racing

The white 15 Chevy

Where’s that all wheel drive truck?

Who me? lol

With the 3.5 V6 Honda engine which is a pretty good engine my buddy took one out of an Odyssey and he put in on a 98 GMC Sonoma

Typical GM

in the US, If you can make it go fast, theirs certainly some sort of convoluted event to race it in. Lol

Are pickup trucks not allowed on a race track in the United Kingdom?

A lot of us pay the track to race all night to win nothing but maybe a lil plastic trophy. I'd love to win $500!

@@drewgarrett i hear ya! Looks like fun👍

Lightning model

@@sergeantmasson3669 how? That looks like a 2008 f150

@@MrRL95 You're right but it's a 2009, not 2008. Likely has the 5.4 engine though.

@@sergeantmasson3669 I am almost certain its a 2011-2014 with the 5.0L. You couldn't get a 2009-2010 model F-150 single cab short bed with the 5.4L, so if it is a 5.4L...Its a swap which is unlikely because the 5.0L is a much better engine overall. Not to mention the 5.0L has a very distinct sound to it ''which is what the red F-150 sounds like''. So yeah, I'm positive its a 5.0L Coyote.

@@nathanmcdonald610 By the looks of the grill, it's a 2009 and 5.4 engine WAS an option in 2009. Personally, I couldn't care less what year it is or what engine it has.

Not bad for a stock half ton

@@krismerrill9154 yes

@@advilshenk I’ll be back with my procharged one had to let someone else win one

@@krismerrill9154 i gotcha. Your a champion and good sport. I Respect that. Cant wait. Always entertaining. Ill make it there one day as a spectator or racer...

Nah, the outside lane almost always loses, when the truck in the outside lane barely wins he earned it. They should run both races twice and whoever wins by the biggest gap should be the winner, but that would take twice as long and require timing them so it isn't really reasonable for spectator drags.

multiple ppl jumped, nice try tho

@@k5blazerman47s I was talking about the final race for the money. But nice try though.

@@grabir01 he maybe bumped up a little but they left at the same time. Wouldn’t have made a difference, the guy in the red truck has more dollars than sense

You don't see many single cab anything's anymore sadly. Even extended cabs are fairly scarce compared to the abundance of loaded out crew cabs on the road these days.

Clearly. That GMC's turbo was no little hair dryer, but the red Ford was STILL giving him hell. Honestly, I think it came down to the driver...the Ford driver was too shy, whether simply being new to this or not wanting to risk his body panels, but even with that, he took out everyone and then made the winner go 2 out of 3. I was wondering what he was running in it...he's got a Ltd lower valance and Platinum tailgate. I've got a Ltd Lariat with 6.2L and a great AWD system, and I would love to run it in one of these, but 1) being my DD and what I pull a boat AND a camper with, I'd also be pretty reserved in running it and 2) with a leveling kit and load absorbing shocks in rear (for the towing), it wouldn't be nearly as fun in the turns as it could be with a different setup altogether.

@@IfYouAintFirstYoureLast I'm sure its a Coyote 5.0L V8. They have a very distinct sound (I own a 5.0L F-150 myself).
