Well ok its not a Plymouth Valiant or a  Peterbilt 281 and it didn't quite end with the carnage of the 1971 movie, but after watching Phil Morrison twinning with the 1000hp ERF race truck i just couldn't get the movie out of my head. Defiantly the most surreal thing i have seen all year.

I love that movie! Definitely one of Spielberg's greats. This shot is just amazing. A drift truck series would be pretty awesome.

Dirfting trucks?? are you serious?? that wood be dumb seaninc. now what they need to do is bring this kind of racing to America, Runnning, the Western Stars, macks, Petes and KenWorths, FORGET DRIFITNG!!! diesel Truck Racing is big in Europe,

ERF, Scana, DAF, MAN, VOLVO and the best, MERCEDES BENZ, they all run race trucks

@seaninc

Indeed! How insane and sick would it be to see trucks doing tandems at 100+MPH speeds just inches from eachother or barelly touching eachother! :))) Is anyone brave and insane enough out there to create a Truck Drift Series? :))))) Would the wear stretched tires and offsets? :)))))) That would be monumental! If I'd have the money I'd try and build a "riced"up drifting truck! :))))

As someone who is really into the fia european truck racing championship, this came as a surprise!

There are some drivers who really drift in the races, just for fun, but they cannot get as many angle as any car can, especially in the apex of the turns, remember, they weight more than 5500 kilos, 3300 of which must on the front axle by the fia rules.
