Baja Trophy Truck on Tarmac – Hot Rod Magazine

Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine set out to show off the capabilities of Cameron Steele’s Desert Assassin Trophy Truck by doing some comparisons that most of us can understand. They take the truck in desert racing specifications and put it on a drag strip and have it turn in a hot lap around Willow Springs. The guys also brought along a Ford Mustang Boss 302 and Raptor for comparison’s sake. The speed they get out of the trophy truck is pretty impressive and I always enjoy watching machines excel at things they weren’t specifically designed for.

Bigfoot Attempts the Monster Truck Long Jump Record

I know there’s a lot of stereotypes that link Monster Trucks with a redneck “WOOOOO, Hold My Beer and Watch This!!” mentality. If you go into this video with those stereotypes in mind, you will be surprised. I was. Yes this bit is about a monster truck attempting a long jump record, but that’s just the icing on the cake. The interview with Bigfoot’s owner, Bob Chandler, and Bigfoot 18’s senior driver, Dan Runte, is the real treasure. They talk about the start of what has become a 37 year legacy of motorsports in Bigfoot. It’s an intimate look into what it takes to run the organization and a tribute to the fans that make the whole thing possible. That being said, the long jump is also absolutely incredible. I think the longer it flew through the air, the more my jaw dropped.

Roll it Like a Boss

This video comes from one of the guys on YouTube that follows the Southern Rock Racing Series. He started naming the offroad park crawling and mud bogging videos “Rednecks with Paychecks.” This footage is of some attempts made on a nasty ledge where the guys were fully committed to making it to the top or rolling their rigs trying.
