Is it modesty or did you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement?

Competitors were asked not to share results or individual times until the magazine feature comes out. There are photos and video's here https://www.facebook.com/truckinmag

Well, I checked out the link and you don't have to say anything. They said it themselves: congrats on winning First Place! We're proud of you! But--'jumped the light'?? ;-)

Great job, George! Nice way to represent BALA, and getting our hoodie in there too was brilliant!


Quote: By far the most consistent driver of the whole event, George and his trusty second-gen Lightning just systematically attacked each event, found his groove and improved on his lap times throughout the day. He gave everyone a lesson on how to absolutely kill it at Throwdown without shoving it in their face. Using some road racing experience, George placed in the top spots in four events and won the day by racing like a cool-headed pro. Unquote.

Congrats that's awesome taking the win. Where can you see a break down from all of the trucks? I'd like to see how those gen 1 trucks with the huge wheels did. I think one has a coyote motor too

Next months issue of Truckin magazine will have all the details. This months Truckin issue introduces all the competitors which is on news stands now.
The black gen 1 was very fast in the quarter mile but the large wheels hurt performance on both trucks. Everyone at this years competition was very cool and we all had a great time.

Got a copy of the first Truckin Mag ... Looking for the next.

Wow..what did the Black Gen 1 run in the 1/4 mile?

The black truck was very fast, but he mounted some slicks and his times were omitted from the competition. I believe he ran low 10's.
