Yes! Love these races. I thought they actually got banned a year or two ago though?

Stadium super trucks, Robbie Gordon’s deal to extend the old Mickey Thompson stadium racing from the 80s. Trucks are modular built with gm crate engines at 650hp I think. You can wad one up and they can unbolt and replace the destroyed section. Not sure what happened to them since 2018. I would daily drive one of those trucks in a heartbeat

I love watching Super Trucks race. And great to see Robby Gordon racing. I remember him well in Nascar. That was a great race from start to finish.

I've been watching these races. I'm really starting to wonder if the Australians are actually more American than Americans. lol
That race was just as exciting! Aussies really know how to put on an exciting race venue!

I've been watching this truck series for a few years. They post all of the races on youtube.

Very entertaining!!

The trucks have a rear hand brake like rally cars use that allows them to pull more rear brake.

I've been road racing now for almost 27 years. I'd LOVE to try this series. Just don't have the funding. lol

I grew up watching him in the Mickey Thompson races with his dad, and then in desert racing. Unfortunately he wasn’t as strong at nascar. He was known as the prodigal son for off-road racing. It was awesome to see his shop in North Carolina where they were building the stadium super trucks
