racing it all

I race a truck and I want all the thunderstock racers to not put the rest of the truck division in the same catigory as Dan Hennig. If he wins his brother and him think they have to brag about how fast they are and if they lose they wine about being beat. Most of us truck drivers are as tired of this this as you guys are. I have been friends with Bowen and Babcock and Barney Craig for a long time and I really like racing with all the thunderstock drivers. I know most of the trucks drivers race to have fun and would to have a chance to race with you guys some more in the future. So please don't let an arrigant jackass and his brother ruin it for the rest of us. Hope to race against you again.

The trucks can run the lower line around the track better because:
They have a shorter wheelbase. The shorter it is, the easier it turns. That is why every racing division has a minimum wheelbase stated in the rules. I'm not going the call out anybody by name but the person who was posting on here last week and claimes his short bed standard cab S10 has a 108inch wheelbase is flat out lying!!
And their weight is alot less than the stock cars. This lets them run the bottom faster because they have less weight to pull off the corner. The stocks need to keep the momentum up on the high side because if they slow down enough to stay on the bottom, they can't accelerate nearly as fast because of the weight.

the s-10 trucks do have 108 inch wheelbase and the dodge dakota trucks have 112 inch wheelbase. they all have stock truck frames with leaf spring rear suspention. and the weight on the trucks most are anywhere from 2900 to 3200 pounds with the driver. what makes them fast on the bottom is the tires they run are softer and work better than the street tires and the d-40 hoosiers the stocks were running at findley and the trucks run alky fuel and that help them pull off the corner faster.
