Default who races a truck, honestly

so i dont know about anywhere else in this country, but here in minnesota, we have these kids that think its cool to get a really ugly boxy 80s truck, and lift it like 2 feet and put dual exhaust and straight pipes on it (it sounds god awful if u havent heard it) and then add huge monster truck tires. now thats fine, im one to agree with someone who is doing something different, though one could argue that everyone doing it isnt being different anymore, but they race me in my sol alllllll the time. i havent lost yet but it gets ridiculous sometimes. they are hicks too btw, they are willing to admit it. does anyone else suffer with driving around these or is it something in the bad weather we seem to always have?

street racing = :down:

Go tell them to learn about offset. I know those wheels have to stick out about 5 inches from the fenders. I'll go retard hunting tomorrow with the digital camera and show you what I mean.

that is the whole point I used to have a lifted truck as well and you don't want your tires to be skinny to go Rock Crawling.

I used to autocross my 90 Isuzu truck. 6th/7th overall was it's usual place (field of 40-60 vehicles). They used to give out awards for the fastest Honda/Acura, Mazda, Toyota, etc that still couldn't beat the Truck

It had a few mods tho.. tokico shocks, K&N filter and 225/50 r compounds...
