derby truck

[worm]

this was at the fair last year i would have got second if at last minute they didnt let me run a 24 volt system and take one of my batteries out. so i had to rig a stay to hold only one battery and it didnt work and my hot wie came loose and stalled my truck a few times and that got me runned over..but i got 7 out of 16

auto..w/ a 350 ... my frotn end got folded and moved the altenator and i didnt have a water pump,or altenator and it still ran good...when i go thit and it died i pumpd it a few times and she ran ..then i guess i flooded it and when it started it blew some flames from my jank exhaust and i had to ge t out...but i drove it on the trailor like that

i had to put a horizontal cage around me b4 the derby...i didnt have much funds and i hade manifolds upisde down and that was actualll a bad idea dont do it find headers to come all of the way out of the hood ...umm i ran two electric fans and i wouldnt use any switches inside for my ignition fan or altenator because ive seen a lot of them burn out.. i have on hot wire off the battery and have i wire coming fromm the altenator fan and distributor and i just wire them all together before we run then i know nothing wil burn up... GM is soooo simpe to wir up ask if you need to know how/

ya there probably isn't anything better than a 350 with an auto for that type of thing. your right GM stuff is super easy to wire, and it's pretty damn tough imo.

The ladie across the street from me won a derbey once....it was pretty cool....what are you doin fot the next one you go into??

MaTT....

[worm]

LOL and on more tip...know how to weld...dont think you can cause if they break it sux..i had a hard time gettting it on the trailor missing on tire and an open diff
it wasnt a bad truck b4 i bashed oh yea it was a 3/4 ton too

[CHAUNCY]

I saw some show on the travel channel or something and it was about demolishin derbys. I thought it was cool but kinda wierd. It guess it could be fun at times. Is there prize money or just a trophy ??? The one I saw had prize money and a huge trophy.

[EricB]

haha it's a 3/4ton? so it's got like a 14 bolt? damn you fuged up dude you shoulda welded the spider gears =P nothing like a redneck spool hehe

[worm]

by the way...of course i welded the spider gears in the middle of the nigth when i new nothing about welding...the rear end was spooled up the whole time i drove it around my house ..i did posi burn outs b4 i bashed then when i tried to load it up only one wheel spun..if you can get into a derby do it,,
