Semi Trucks Drag Racing with 120,000 lbs Trailers!

Probably enough boost to pump up a semi tire. Insane. I'd love to see the flywheel/clutch setup to hold that torque. Gosh, even the U-Joints have got to be impressive units. I enjoy seeing their pure joy being at the event and hope y’all cover more of these events, a great departure from the car content. Unless you've pulled a load professionally, it's hard to describe just how amazing these machines really are. 60 tons of freight is not your average haul. Just incredible. No wonder they were breaking down toward the end. As a driver, I know how crucial that 4-5 shift is when loaded. That’s why here you’ll see guys bog down towards the big end just before the hill - you have to switch to high range and if you don’t get the revs just right, you can miss the gear or break something. In a stock truck when bobtailing, you can start off the line in 4th, maybe 5th without stalling if you know how to sync the clutch and throttle. I would love to give this a try one day. So glad y'all brought this in. Mind blowing physics going on in all of this. Loved every second of it and props to whom ever was was doing the drone work, excellent job!
