That pass was 14.30. Ran a 14.26 the next day, but I was on the brakes going through the traps in hopes that I wouldn't break out on my dial. Unfortunately I did...by .002

It got a little quicker, but it's still a slowpoke in competition. Suits me though.

That was good, Pop. Thanks.

I would have liked to see a slo-mo of a complicated corner. I know the rig is capable of a crab manuever, as well as an articulated turn. But I'm not clear on how they steer each of the trucks. I didn't see any kind of a drive system to turn each truck*, just a connecting square tube between each side. When I use the term "truck", I refer to each of the dolly assemblies, not the tractors.

* truck - definition of truck by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
Noun, definition #4
