PT Hemi Truck at burnout area ...

Flames from the Headers ...

PT Hemi truck did this wheelie all the way down the 1/4 mile. I was talking to the driver after and he said the high cross winds were giving him fits... I didn't think about asking how he sees out of this rig...

Driver & owner Tony ???

Tony told me he has four sets of brakes on each rear wheel and that is how he controls the steering...

I was more interested in gawking and didn't look that closely at the motor or ask the right questions while taking the pictures... Thanks to Howard here's the correct informatin on the motor... (just can't trust these announcers at an event - I guess Hemi has a lil more appeal)...

"Hi Laddie the wheelstander you saw at Red River Raceway is not a Hemi, it has a 498 c.i wedge CHRY. was developing for pro stock.It makes 1250 h.p @ 6800,it is designed to turn 10,000 r.p.m. but was sidelined when the new Hemi was o.k.ed for pro stock.Wait till you see the ride for 2004 a blown 440 wedge in a p.t cruiser. Catch you later CAT. Howard

By the way Laddie the engine he has was never intended for sale to the general public. Must be nice to have pull with the rite people huh? Howard"
