Love how you spool up the turbo in anticipation of the overtaking lane
@rogerpearson90813 жыл бұрын
Smart move is to sit back a bit so you have room to wind up a bit of speed and then you are not sitting out in the overtaking lane for half the distance getting some speed up, rather you pull out and cruise past. Not practiced very often nowadays thanks to lack of experience/skill from our modern auto box steerers who like sniffing your back bumper and then flicking out and just sitting there expecting a B Double to accelerate like a car.

That's the best way to do it, I had a 95 Dodge 3/4 ton 2wd 12 valve 5 speed and I had turned her up quite a bit, and if I was gonna pass someone on 2 lane highway I'd fall back a little and ease into it until I had about 8 pounds of manifold pressure then I'd lay it to her, she'd jump up to about 40 pounds of manifold pressure instantaneously and she'd be off like a rocket, up to 87mph at least, she had the power just not enough gears to run faster. I loved how that truck ran, passin people on the highway she'd blow one decent sized puff of smoke then clean up to just a light haze.
Used to travel in a R700, the roar when the grill opened was a killer, top speed ,52 miles an hour

I was refueling outside Emmos one day and Billy Cooper (Mainfreight) pulled up,as we were fueling up I says “bro it sounds like it’s got a miss”,Billy replies “the more that Miss sounds the better she goes”. He went on to tell me about Len Mataera who brought the first EA9 610 in the world he said a few of them were climbing Messenger and as they went for the gear lever Len went for the indicator.

Used to operate a 440 Superliner on logs - it is a great sound but day after day of 11 hours on duty, the noise gets a bit old (meaning how loud and harsh it is on the ears). Of course, hearing it in small sound bites is very nice : )
