This past weekend was the 9th Annual Street Truck Shoot-out in London, KY. A few SyTy’ers made the trip and gave everyone in attendance a little lesson on AWD Burnouts, including those on hand from Trucks! TV.
Jeff Scott in his TT V8 Typhoon set a personal best, running 11.56 @ 115, on only 7psi boost. He also finished as runner up in the bracket race. We can’t wait to see what Jeff’s truck will do when the boost is turned up a bit. Here’s a little excerpt from Jeff’s post at SyTy.net:
Will, Dobrick, and I went to the sport truck shootout this weekend in London Ky. It was hot as could be, but well worth the trip.
First time I have run the truck with the intercooler having water in it. I should really say ICE. I was seeing 90deg IAT temps on a 90 deg day. Try to do that with an Air/Air. Due to lower IAT though my AFR was a bit lean, so kept throwing more fuel in it. Last pass we really threw the ice in, which in turn made the AFR go lean again. Truck still ran well.
I was able to do some wicked AWD burnouts, did I mention they were all filmed by Trucks TV and we hung out with Kevin and Ryan from the show friday and saturday?
I should also mention we both did interviews for the show (pics to come). We will be setting up a time for autographs at the next syty event.
Kevin interviewed both of us about our trucks, asked a few questions. Hopefully I don’t look too much like a goof on tv. I am wearing my syty nats 10 shirt.
Before we left I took Ryan for a ride, boost launch leaving about 40ft of rubber, then threw him the keys to drive back. Both guys are really cool. I will admit I thought they were just TV guys, but they are far from that. Both true auto guys, know cars and just normal people. It was a really cool experience.
Here’s a video Will put together. Pretty cool!
