Dennis’ birthday today.
Not the best of dates since 9/11
Today is his best mate Roger’s (since age 5 years old) Burnout party.
So the truck which he got back out this week after the last catastrophic self destruction was tested this week and held together.
Love the helmet and cup holders in a race truck.
800 plus horsepower from a Hendricks NASCAR motor.
So last night it was loaded for the 30 mile trip down i70 to Rogers place as it has not yet been inspected and registered or insured.
Looking forward to reports later from Dennis.
His comment after his local test drive to Mittler Brothers.
The truck is a tribute to the late Mike Mittler, a good friend, whose NASCAR trucks Dennis did all the bodywork for over the years.
They all came out and took a bunch of pictures of it. Mike's brother even came out and shook my hand
It's not a very street friendly truck. It does not want to go slow.
It doesn't like low speed and low rpm's as long as you are giving it gas and driving it hard it drives fine. Deb said I guess we can't take it on a Sunday afternoon drive. Well that depends on how fast of a Sunday afternoon drive you want.
So lets see if the truck survived today.
