Jesus christ that's a lot of black smoke!
Turbo lag doesn't seem that bad though, that's him sitting there in the wrong gear more than anything else.

That sounds awesome, watching a little more closely i think his trouble second time was understear. Looks like as he was flooring it, it was pushing forward with understear, Also combined with lack of steering lock maybe not giving the best confidence for doing some donuts in that smallish area with public a few meters away. don't think that's suffering much lag ;D

There's something quite aesthetically pleasing about the mix of black and white smoke  |

Well... thats basically what's going in my 72 Range rover, (4.2 litre 6 cyl with big topmount turbo) which is also getting a 2wd mode and a rear difflock, so I think a donut or two is on the cards:)

I love the whole rodeo du camions thing..... drag racing a truck up a hill with a heavy load doesnt sound that exciting.... but love the lack of health and safety! These guys must earn good money trucking as well! haha, cant imagine those rigs being cheap!
Longer video....

That hotrod is quite cool indeed and defo interesting to see a diesel used for a hotrod, in America too of all places! Those truck videos are like any traffic lights around Dublin port just aftera ferry has docked! Seriously though, how much twisting are they doing there - must be quite some torque trying to rip bits of them up
