Talking 20000lb. Hot Rod Semi Class Highlight Video

Here is a video of some serious big rigs. I wish I could find the one from the local guys in IL that I watched last year, they put these to shame believe it or not.


I hope this works, not very good at posting links properly

Looks like more power than I'm used to seeing around here.

The first and last are Cummins Powered.

The local trucks you are talking about in Illinois most likely belong to the Eddingtons. I've seen them run myself and they are very stout.

Any truck that pulls 1 or even 2 tires off the ground pulling if flat out cool in my book, I don't care what they are running!!!

Only complaint - Doesn't anyone know you can get a tripod for your video camera at Walmart for like 18 bux?? Come on.

Yep they are the one's, (Hott Wheelz and American Express) do you know of anywhere they have video clips of any of their runs?

Nope.. sorry.. I'm afraid I don't.

Just a note.. the Eddington trucks are actually a level lower than those in the video, but do compete alongside those on occasion. Eddington's rigs are in a class that restricts them to a single turbo, while the ones in the video have multiple... up to four I believe.
