Holy Crap!!! That freakin SUCKS bigtime...This is why I personally think making trucks into race cars is kinda dumb. The are simply not ment to be race cars, so why do people need to insist on doing it anyway!? All that power is great, but its usless if you can't use it in more than a straight line race...and hell, not even that worked out for this guy. Trucks flip to easy if you try and drive them like a crazy person. But that poor guy experienced some bad luck for sure. That does not appear to be something he did wrong...I wonder if he did have a blowout???
WOW, this is a reminder to everyone...

wow, that does suck. at least no one was injured, but ahhhhh that poor truck! i personally love dodge trucks, especially the srt- 10 models... and the "rumble- bee"... they got some badazz disel's, too
idk if they were still using the v-10 in that bodystyle, i think by then they were using the hemi found in the chargers.... something like 600 HP, i think....
michael, it is my beleif that the "muscle trucks" idea was more or less spured on from doge's lil' red express ( dad bought brand new a '78, # 13 made, still have the window sticker
). the express was brought upon due to the need for a factory preformance vehicle, but in an attempt to skirt around emissions standards, insurance regulations, & everything else that killed the muscle car.... IMO, the idea kinda stuck around ( esp. in dodge's case), and i think the v- 10 & hemi trucks were brought on trying to bring back a form of a muscle car in a more economical way for the company, i think that trucks were the only thing any company got away with selling a big- block between the fenders...

Today's lesson... Don't intentionally lose traction on a road with ditches on both sides of the road.
Don't think that had anything to do with it being a truck. He probably would've done the same thing in a car. Maybe not upside down. But still in the ditch.
