This 1968 Ford Truck Commercial Is Crazy And Had To Have Been Fun To Make! Full On Beat-Downs!

In any sort of job, there are highs and lows. There are things that are fun to do, things that are not so fun, stuff you love, and stuff you hate, right? This actually has to apply to stunt or precision drivers as well. These are the guys you see in commercials driving cars, trucks, and performing the stunts therein. We’re going to guess that when this group drivers got called to participate in a 1968 Ford truck commercial about big rigs, dump trucks, and other yeoman-like vehicles they were not thinking that it would be all that much fun. Boy were they wrong.

This sports themed commercial shows all kinds of winter sports like Bobsled, skiing, luge, and that type of junk. Somehow we’re guessing the performance of the trucks is supposed to mimic or relate to the athlete’s strength, skill, and prowess? Either way, we don’t really give a crap about that as much as we do the absolutely awesome beat job that gets laid on these trucks.

The little Transit thing is OK, it looks kind of neat with under flares chucking rocks at the camera, but the big rig which is being driven by someone who wants to flip it over and the straight trucks…ohh the straight trucks. You will see a loaded dump truck (or “tipper” as they are called in Jolly Ol’ England) get air and just get hammered on. Lastly there is a flatbed truck that is driven over what are basically parking space curbs at speed and the things that the otherwise pretty rigid suspension system on the truck does basically defies description. The dude driving that truck could not have been able to walk to days after this, especially if there were multiple takes involved!

No one does stuff like this anymore. Why?!

TX2K23 Day 1: Mustang Nearly TAKES OUT Lamborghini, 200mph Races, And MORE

Image
It’s that time of year again when everyone converges on Houston Raceway Park for TX2K. 2023 is going to be the last TX2K to be held there, as the track is going to be closing soon. Where will it be in 2024? I’m not sure, but I’m sure they will make that announcement before the end of the event this weekend. This event is known for big performances and unfortunately some big crashes too, as folks try to push their cars to the limits for fame at TX2K. This year started out just like last year, with a crazy crash that involved a Lambo. This time the Lambo was not the crasher, but almost the crashie. Check it out! Video Description: TX2K23 is upon us, which means the fastest street cars from around the United States have gathered to compete for records, trophies, and of course – bragging rights! Last year, we saw an unprecedented amount of wrecks, most of which were Supercars. This year seems to be taking a similar route, however we can’t take away from the insane level of cars that thi...

Helmet Sale: Simpson And Racequip Are On Sale Now! Quit Using A Crap Helmet.

Image
I just got back from Holley’s LSFest West in Las Vegas and the number of people who are racing, or trying to race, wearing crappy helmets, or those that are NOT designed to be used in a car or truck, still blows me away. It gets better all the time, but even so, we need more people to do the right thing for themselves and buy a good helmet. I remember when I got my first helmet that was actually bought for me to use while racing cars. It was awesome. It fit better than anything I’d ever borrowed, and it was mine. I loved it. I have had several helmets since, but regardless of my budget, I’ve always bought a helmet that is specifically made for racing cars and is certified for doing so. Helmets can be expensive, but they don’t have to be. With this new sale coming out of Holley, their Simpson and Racequip brands are both having helmet sales. Yes, a clear-coated carbon fiber helmet is going to be more expensive than a painted one. But from a safety perspective, you can get the same prot...
