Ruff Truck Contest!!! Hartford Fair

Post by Logan »

I was going to run the blue light special (my 95 Astro) in the ruff truck contest and I called the fair board and they won't let me cause it's a 'van.' Jerks. So I bought this REALLY cheap! lol

Had a great time at the Rough Truck!! My seat busted on the first jump but I still ran a 1.05 on the course. Which wasn't too bad For my first time I think. The winner in the stock truck class only ran like a .52 or something. And he had 4 wheel drive. I still didn't place in the top 20 though cause there were about 110 trucks in the stock class. I'll upload the video to youtube then post the link here.
