Quick in a straight line...real slow turning, the only way it could be way to narrow for any speed in circles

i1dery - I've seen a truck with those tracks on, it was cool! It looked like an older Bronco or Blazer and it had been fitted with those tracks around the wheels. They were using it to climb a hillside that I'd be afraid to take a truck with wheels.

There like a kit you install on your truck, and of course inter-
changable so summer you can go back to stock wheels.

I've seen that rig before on one of the SLENECKS videos. I'd love to have one of those, that's for sure! Must be wicked loud though, with straight headers out the back.

The guys that built that thign are some sort of custom racing/performance outfit. I posted a link to that video a few months ago and it is awesome the rut that thing will make when taking off.

If I remember correctly it has a blown 427 in it but I can't remember off hand.
