From the author who brought you the epic thread

Clash Of the Titans part 1

Which can be found here

Comes the next enstallment of Battle of the Construction Trucks

This time the stage was set at an airport we just finnished paving earlier today, me in my 96 Dodge Ram 1500 (with a 318 MAGNUM) against all on commers

After packing was finnished I marked out the 1/4 mile mark on the runway and lined up against my checker who was driving a 05 Ram 1500 with a 4.7 litre engine in it and a 5-speed

Well it was no comparison, the magnum power was too much for the newer ram to handle, I must have had 5 truck lengths on him by the time I passed the 1/4 mile mark(by 1/4 I mean the lath I pounded into the ground on the side of the runway)

Next up was a 06 Ram 1500 with a Hemi owned by my materials tester.....that went a little worse for my little 318, he took me by a length or two as we blasted through the 1/4

I was actually fairly suprised how well I kept up with the much more powerfull hemi ram

The next challenger was the 06 F-150 Superduty 5.4 gas truck featured in the first clash of the titans, this time equiped with a full box of survey gear, survey stakes and a rotating orange safety light. Again it was no comparision, the magnum unleashed its furry on the unsuspecting ford by at least 2-3 lengths.

Last but not least was the Project Manager from the construction company and his 07 Ford Superduty turbo deisel, well unfortunatly the ford was just too much for my old beater and I lost in dramatic fashion by a length or two

All in all I am happy with my old beater, I just wish I had the mustang out to have some real fun. You don't get the opertunity to **** around on a freshly paved airport very often

I hope you all enjoyed my story of awesomeness

Take care

BITCH!

NICE RACES. No videos? What are the specs of your truck-y?

drhoward · 10-23-2009, 12:05 AM

Its a 96 ram 1500 with a 318 220 hp and 300 tq

The only thing that might make it quiker is that its a short box regular cab 2wd so its lighter than all the trucks I raced

99GTvert · 10-23-2009, 12:08 AM

Oh, so it's not because of your driving skills? LAME

drhoward · 10-23-2009, 12:15 AM

You could say I have some sort of mod that involves the driver

Perhaps a driver mod!

Lol at 99. BITCH!
Really though, a vid of that sh!t would of been epic!

Awesome story man, sounds like you work with some cool guys. Seriously though, the old beater sounds like its holding up pretty well. I would've figured the newer Rams would've walked you pretty good. All that gear didn't do them any favors.

drhoward · 10-23-2009, 12:23 AM

lol ya that was the most suprising race mind you his truck is a lot larger than mine

I've got a '96 regular cab, short box you can run... and lose to if you like.

Good runs. Glad to see some still know how to lossen up, and have fun.
