Modified V8 Dodge Dakota Tough Truck
.
Backdraft is a custom built v8 Dodge Dakota Bodied Tough Truck. Ohio’s rough truck races are known to host some of the coolest looking custom built tough trucks around. For those of you that might not have seen past posts about this, tough truck (rough truck, tuff truck, pro arena trucks) races involve short course…

BRUTAL 1972 Dodge Challenger RT
.
This was probably on of the most brutal and mean looking Dodge Challengers at the track that day. The Challenger was Dodge’s response to the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro…even though it wasn’t really a pony car. The first generation Dodge Challengers were made from 1970 to 1974, and are considered the best looking generation….

Pro Stock Semi Tractor Pulling “Sticks & Stones”
.
There aren’t many of these trucks on the OSTPA circuit, but I suspect some in attendance at this tractor pulling event came just to see this the pro stock semi class run. There is something really spectacular hearing these engines spool up and watch as they force that massive torque into the dirt as they…

1200hp MK IV Supra at Import Face Off
.
This is one wicket 1200hp Toyota Supra at National Trail Raceway for Import Face Off. Unfortunately for us watching it appears the Supra driver sandbags the first fun a little bit, smashing on the brakes and letting off the throttle well in advance of the finish line. What’s crazy about it is, the drag car…

Pro Stock Semi Truck Pull Shameless

The Pro Stock Semi OSTPA class in Ohio is a real crowd pleaser. While there isn’t many that compete with these big tractors, they always draw big crowds. The trucks themselves are beefed up Semi Trucks. The rules for these trucks is that they must be 20,000lbs or lighter with a 250 inch max wheelbase…

Mercedes SLK32 AMG Drag Car
.
Another interesting entry in the bi-annual Import Face Off at National Trail Raceway was this slick black SLK32 AMG with drag radials. This car does a pretty terrific job sticking and getting down the track in 12 seconds. Pretty good street car I’d say.

Ford Raptor Tough Truck Racing
.
While this is by no means a stock Ford Raptor taking the abuse of a tough truck race, it is a custom built racer that has some real money put into it. It has some really good suspension and a full tube frame chassis.

12 Second Air Cooled All Motor Karmann Ghia
.
There are a lot of modern cars that don’t go 12 seconds all motor on a liquid cooled engine, but this retro Karmann Ghia manages that on an air cooled boxer engine. That’s not the only cool thing about this car though. It sounds really nice, and watching it stage is really entertaining. The whole…

Tough Trucks Gone Wild ░ Knox County Fair
.
The Knox County Fair Tough Truck Races are one of the wildest in the circuit because of the complicated track that features a couple big single ramps, a whoops section, a very tight turn and jump section topped off with a semi-trailer ramp that almost forces the racers to go balls out. This race featured…

Clean Plymouth Tourismo Drag Racing
.
I think you need to have grown up with these cars to be a big fan of them, but I do appreciate the clean look and bright orange color that the owner finished this car in. What’s more, this guy knows how to bracket race and the car is quick to boot. Running in the…
