    Totaled Race Truck Pictures [3 PICS]

    My brother has been building a race truck for a number of years. 3 days ago he was almost done. He put it on the trailer to take it to a driveline shop to finish the truck. Finally, after years and years of hard work, $25,000 invested, blood sweat and tears, this truck was about to be COMPLETED.


    Driving down the freeway, the ride gets a little bumpy, then severely bumpy. Looking in the review mirror, he sees his truck rolling off his trailer, at 55mph.

    The truck goes straight for a while, veers right, and then sideswipes a cement barrier on the right hand side. The right front rim gets broken, the tire goes flat, now past the barrier the truck makes a sharp right hand turn directly into a 75 foot light pole at about 55mph.

    And the result can be seen here....

      thats rough!
      DICK TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR.
      Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
      Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                        damn, sucks!
                        whats the estimated cost to fix it back up?

                        Often times I wonder why
                        There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                        When sickness comes I must decide:
                        When feelings go, theres suicide.

                          The truck is beyond repair. The frame is crumpled and mangled beyond repair an a few different places. These pictures don't do it justice,

                              who's the idiot, the trailer was hitched fine?

                              but as bad as it was, it could have been worse; yes.

                                  Its a parts truck now....can't be repaired. But now he knows to have overly redundant methods to secure the truck on the trailer. I guess 2 of the broke / disengaged and that gave the other ones plenty of wiggle room to break free.

                                            MY heart dropped to my toes when I heard about this truck biting it.

                                            I know the history of this vehicle...

                                            Mike is understating Blood, sweat and tears..

                                            I just shed one ( uh tear that is) when I viewed the pics here..

                                                  have you ever heard of equipment failure? I guess not....

                                                        So the road gets bumpy... slow down when you tow a heavy load such as the truck. What happened anyway? You never told.

                                                        What equipment did fail?

                                                            Two straps failed, in different ways (the ones around the front tires). That gave the 2 rear straps that were still intact too much wiggle room.

                                                              that really sucks man, but you are so lucky no one was hit by the truck and killed.

                                                              I hope he wasn't using those little orange straps in the bottom right connor of the one pic as they aren't even strong enough to hold a motorcycle. This is a good argument to use booth chains and straps..

                                                              But it looks like a lot of stuff can be salvaged for the next one.. but that truly sucks.
