The Truckin Throwdown consists of five events. Slalom, Speed-Stop, Drag Race, Auto-x, and Show Judging. Look for coverage in the future in Trucking Mag.

2014 Throwdown

[RobNoLimit]

There were 15 trucks competing this year. 11 were late models, and 4 'older' trucks. The four trucks were put into the "Outlaw" class, and thus were not in the competition for scoring. ??? I guess they are too much for the other trucks to handle. The four Outlaw trucks are all naturally aspirated, 200 TW tires, and all ran through the mufflers. Two have LQ-9 based 6.0 motors, and two are traditional small blocks. All four Outlaw trucks have No Limit suspension parts. The 11 late models had Turbos, Superchargers, chassis mods, sticky tires, and more. These four guys, by the numbers racked up almost all of the top spots for the day. The late models were strong on the Drag Strip, but the Outllaws finished, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 8th over all, with Marcel (gold/black C10) running the quickest 1/4 for the Outlaws. In the Slalom, Speed-Stop and Auto-x, the outlaw guys had it covered 1rst to 4th in each event. Wes (59 Apache) took the Slalom, and Bill (S-10) took the win in the Speed-Stop and Auto-x. Everyone agreed that Neil's GMC (blue) was the hands down show winner, with Marcel in a strong 2nd. Hats to these guys for showing everyone how well their trucks run and drive.

Hmm, autocross trucks being outlawed at an autocross event. That's like going to Pizza Hut and the only thing on the menu is Hamburgers. Congrats guys, those are some sweet looking machines!

It sounds to me that because you actually engineered and built your own trucks instead of bolting on oarts from their sponsors they basically said you could play but not compete?

they were all glad to be invited, just not sure why they were "outlawed". We loved it. I guess if you run No Limit suspension with ridetech shocks, you're now an Outlaw!

Awesome shots! What size tire is Neil running in the back?

Sweet truck. What suspension are you running?

[protouring70]

If I'm not mistaken. ....in earlier post it said "No Limit" which is Rob's suspension

Yeah, I saw that. I was under the impression that No Limit had many suspension packages.

Thanks Neil. .....a beautiful truck you have!

[Sales-TCI-Eng]

Neil's truck is just plain badass.....and well Foxy Cleopatra isn't too bad either. Rob had this event completely monopolized, LOL. It was good to hang out and play hookie from actual work with everyone for a little while. Hopefully we'll be out there playing with our C10 next year.

[protouring70]

Hey Neil do you have a build thread on your truck or is there a build thread on the gold truck?
Thanks
