2011 Texas Heatwave - Custom Truck Show

Donald Hardy had his buddy Chris drive this ’02 Silverado to the fastest time in a truck, and he took home a set of Nitto tires for his efforts.

This photo may not be in focus, but the look on Merita’s face pretty much sums up the experience of driving and riding in a 700hp rocket ship. Special thanks to Jake Brown at brownspeed.com for getting the Ecu up and running.

Despite blowing a power steering pump and having temperamental tuning issues, we pushed Project Novakane as hard as we could. Here, Harley Camilleri is throwing the tail end out in a nice drift while taking Ekstensive Metalworks’ Bill Carlton out for a ride.

Think your truck is too big or are you worried about being new at autocross racing? These two diesel trucks ran around the course pretty well and drifted their way across the finish line.

First-time autocross racer Cole drove his lowered Sierra the best he could despite his truck’s lack of turning radius.

With the traction control turned off, the 800 lb-ft of torque easily sent the dualie in a perfect donut spin.

This Viper may look fast, but we ran 0.3 seconds slower in our rental Nissan Cube. Thanks Hertz.

Austin O’Krinsky drove a supercharged Grand Sport Corvette to the fastest time of the day, and in doing so, he won a Kinetik Power Cell, Volant air intake, and case of Royal Purple oil. Special thanks to DJM Suspension, Kinetik, Nitto, Royal Pruple, and Volant for making this event a huge success.
