I worked on this truck regularly when I worked at S&S Truck Parts with Big Dave and engine builder Jack Hawkins, BJ ,Roger and many more great mechanics the Sanqunetti boys. ❤️ Some the best tines of my life. The 80's

Those Trucks are just cool! But I’m amazed how the smoke doesn’t come from anywhere but the cabin. One would think especially in racing a firewall should be weight shedding‘s last victim.

2002 in Cup. She ran well early, but she stepped away in the mid-late 90s to focus on family, and when she came back to NASCAR, age played a factor and she wasn't the driver she was.

​​​@@jamieround2072 She's retired from racing and now has an interior design/furniture design business in Charlotte, NC. She eventually went on to make some starts in the NASCAR Cup Series (including the 2002 Daytona 500, where she finished 24th), and to my knowledge, is the only former GATR driver to have done so.

These guys have bigger balls and crazier then modern day semi truck oval racing. I got chance to race a semi oval track truck at Bristol motor speedway and at my home track huge high bank exact copy of old Bristol layout and these things take a lot of skill to drive and don't handle like any type of racecar or limited latemodel chassis car with fiberglass nascar truck looking body on it. Driving that semi truck taught me a lot more about racing int hat short period of time. And I been racing since I was 10 and now I'm 30 and man they are a blast to drive the turbos whining and shifting was so much fun and you can bump and bang and won't get side ways very easy at all so you can use your bumper up as much as you want on someone cuse your not gonna spin or wreck them unless your really turn into them hard and through them wide open other then that beating and banging is part of it. and these trucks and modern ones are way more safe then any other type of oval track racecar or truck cuse they are so big and built with very heavy sturdy and strong roll cages and you have a lot more metal and sheet metal that will crush and absorb almost 80 percent of the impact. My buddy hit wall wide open in one he was racing throttle got hung up and he said he barley felt it now if he would have hot the wall at 70 mph on his regular racecar head on it would have hurt very bad

And that smokey blown motor wreck where whole cab filled up with smoke is prime example why I always seal up every body panel gap or where aluminum sheets over lap that you rivit together to build interior decking and to cover any open holes that you don't need there for racing cuse something that was for road trucking and not racing went in those holes from can to motor and I take the silver foil tape that HVAC companies use to seal off the flex insulation tubing that goes from the duct work to your vents cuse that tape does a great job keeping smoke out and selling off stuff that you overlap and rivit. Then I take duct seal that you use on you HVAC duct work and put duct seal over every spot I had to put silver tape to seal off my cab or my interior of any racecar I drive and build also a halon fire system that you press a button and you have nosels through whole race car and it puts out any fire. I had a bad electrical fire in my latemodel when I got the wall cuse throttle got stuck all my wires started burning racing fuel had already burst into huge fire ball and all the plastic and fiberglass body panels burning created a thick black smoke that was impossible to breath in on top of halon taking oxygen out of air if I wouldn't have sealed off my interior of racecar like I explained I would be dead from smoke inhalation and burnt lungs let flames and some smoke out of my interior of racecar just enough so I could get out and live.

I was blown away when I saw the door. My dad was a customer of Duke's GMC. He ordered a new single axle dump truck from there in '72, the color was orange. He sold it in the late 70's because of diabetes. Oddly enough it wound up practically across the road at Filburns.
