12v71 Dragster Vs 12v71 Wannabe

[tellmeitsnottaken]

There's an old 12v71 generator that is rusting away in the elements behind a machine shop near my house. I look at it longingly every morning on the way to work...

[007gatorman]

Man, I WANT one of those!

[whorayful]

Wheel spin the entire strip, yeahhh

[markification]

The blue one was spinning tires allthe way to the end

[EngineeringFun]

After watching this my monitor smells like disel fumes. I wiped it with alcohol and it still smells.

[EMDSD14R]

i saw the same vid from inside the peter built and let me tell ya..thts alot of power there..awsome just awsome

[hayden12w3]

I love the cloud of death they both leave behind. Al Gore would probably shit himself if he saw that....

[peterbiltroy]

Damn I love the burnout!

[JeanPernicia]

13.55 seconds? That's impressive for a truck!!....on the other hand the old truck's chassis retorts awfully and the rear axle is twisting a lot.

Does the blue one runs with an automatic tranny?

[mstruckerboy]

Fantastic job, man! Sound/picture quality is great too! :D

[Jerald9000]

You crazy as a fish with tiddys to call a 12v71 a wannabe, besides that wasnt even an even race, of course the truck with a damn 5 speed auto and turbo exhaust dumps is gunna be the winner i mean cumon man.

[240zguy240]

@Jerald9000 hence the 6 second head start

[HawaiianMachinist]

Next time turn on yer Jakes & speed shift....

[WKTEDDYBEAR]

@HawaiianMachinist I think it is very few people anymore that can "Jake shift" anything let alone a screaming jimmy, ya can damn near speed shift them without the Jake's

[neurocytohemotoxic]

Pwned!!!!!

[nrhbmw]

I would pay GOOD MONEY to see these trucks race!

[rawjerkin]

well remember dude the green pete has no turbos and besides the blue one is all beeft up

[AggregateDood]

It would be cool to take Hotrodx 199's video of this same race and edit these two videos together so that you are swapping back and forth from cab interior to grandstand view.....

[Hotrodx199]

@AggregateDood Now to think of it, i might do that.

[fx4wannabe01]

This must've been the '09 Truck Drags.......was it really THAT empty last year?? The last time I went was the '08 ones and will be attending the '10.....I've NEVER seen the big popular truck drags THAT empty!

[RidgeRunner88]

I just watched the incab vid from the Pete... Very cool vids!!!

[CTjacob13]

i think Hotrodx199 has the in cab view of this

[Hotrodx199]

@CTjacob13 yes i do, the exact same run

[Hotrodx199]

@CTjacob13 yes i do, the exact same run

[Meetluver]

@CTjacob13 I think you're right.

[nchayfarmer]

I dont care what anybody says the unmodded one sounds better and in the end thats what is better lol

[kblackav8or]

Not even close.

[thissitesucks74]

That back axle just looked bad to me.I know its an old truck and was worked and can still stand up to some shit when needed but that real axle needs to be replaced or at least milled till it's straight.

[Jerald9000]

@thissitesucks74  yea that rear end dose look like it needs some wrk but i think having no weight on the back was parcially to blame

[73ford250]

wannabe??? what the fuck are you saying dude they both have the same engine the only difference is the rear ends! and plus atleast the guy in the peterbilt lost with class he wasnt in an old corn binder lol

[Hotrodx199]

Well the point of the "wannabe" is trying to be like a wannabe go fast truck lol.

[kladivous]

Are these trucks allowed to add any ballast to the fifth wheel for traction?

[Hotrodx199]

I think brad needs to take out those SQHD 5:29 rears if he is really considering on making it go faster...

[MegaZsolti]

the blue is the wannabe? (idk :S )

[Alrgc2Air]

First, I'd say anyone running a 12V71 is anything but a wannabe. :) God I want a 2-stroke Detroit in my bus conversion!!!! I got a wimpy 429 gasser.... It's not FAIR!

But, yeah, big surprise, all things being equal, of course the turbo is going to come out ahead..... What did you expect? LOL

[Hotrodx199]

There's me in the passenger seat of the old pete!

[thissitesucks74]

I think that old truck could have beat the dragster but that rear end system could use a total rebuild.

[MattytheDem]

@thissitesucks74 it most certainly could

[DRNEGOLICIS]

@Hotrodx199 haha thats funny your vid has a in cab view and this is a audience view

[DieselSmoke92]

@Hotrodx199 lol

[HedgehogOutdoors]

@Hotrodx199 Just got here from your video! Looks a lot rougher of a launch from this view!

[TechMaven]

Reminds me of the Smith Transport Tornado. A quad turbo'ed 12v71 in a cabover Pete..Low 12's at 114.

[stevesai]

i seen that truck at englishtown nj long time ago...awesome truck they ran it against the cfi red racer...hell of a show ! wish they would bring it back! does smith transport still have that truck ?

[HilBil91]

Either way both of them put on a hell of a show!

[FoxGTR34Nismo1]

@HilBil91 I agree, such an awesome display of old American brute power!

[66stang357]

Woodburn, OR...They do this at the end of the summer every year.

[DodgeRamit02]

woow man nice shot thats like a perfect shot u got of those 2 man by the way what camera are u using the quailty of teh video and sound in HD is amazing

[66stang357]

The camera is a Sony HDR-SR12. I have no complaints about it. And thanks for the comments.

[hanks1961kw]

The cornfield corvette is badass and looks good with the new paint job. Cool video.

[Hotrodx199]

Wow! Major wheelhop brad had! I never got a chance to see that from the outside! Thanks.

-Kerby

[66stang357]

I was pretty cool to watch live...not bad in the video.

[kblackav8or]

Skip the water if you aren't doing a burnout. Creates wheelslip for the right lane and probably is causing some of the hop issue.

[66stang357]

Pretty sure the wheel hop was one hundred percent caused by the worn out suspension...very worn out.

[phil656565]

thatl happen, our old ford t1000 will hop like a mother anytime its on sand, never done any racin in it but id like too.

[Onco400]

@66stang357 Well that suspension wasn't exactly intended for drag racing when it was new LoL!

[tman06798]

@kblackav8or It's easy to skip the water on a bike there isn't exactly room to tiptoe around it in a peterbilt.
