If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Tandem trailer setups are the most unsafe setup you can run on the roads.

This.  That's just an accident waiting to happen.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

sorry but i disagree, doubles or triples are far more likely to sway back and forth during high winds or around corners, the back trailer in a tandem set up is just like it was hooked to a fifth wheel on the Tractor no dolly like whats used in doubles or triples. and yes i drive truck, 22 years and counting accident free.

Those crazy frenchmen have been doing that for years.  It's a huge truck show in Quebec. Nothing like twisting a few driveshafts into pretzels.

The crowds are a little close aren't they? But those 'b'-trains they're pulling are extremely stable on the highway, have a smaller off track; so they go around corners a lot easier...and.....once ya know what you're doing....not too bad to back up. (well, only when you have 2 trailers)

Now those A trains....(fed-ex, ups and the like the pups connected with a dolly)  those freaking things should be banned

You guys think these top dog countries got here by being SAFE?
---


But really, these guys obviously know what they're doing. Just like the folks at air shows. Guess what? Doesn't matter HOW FAR you put folks at an airshow, they could ALL die but I don't see anyone getting their g-string in a knot over that.

Oh damn...I'm doing that honesty thing again where I point out the double standards.....

This is real life....accidents happen. With a load that heavy, the ONLY way that truck would end up in that crowd is if he managed to come unhitched from the trailer and you can bet your oscar that they've got it hooked better than your standard trailer.

.....Are you guys American? I hope not....REAL Americans live for adventure.....well....they used to anyways....

Now everyone is either old or fat...and the ones that aren't wear girl jeans, over-sized jackets and stupid hats with tags on them....

There's few people who have that good ol' American "This is dangerous and that's why it's fun" mentality....and the crazy thing? This isn't all that dangerous....

-----

Yeeeeeup...I need to quit drinkin' and playing WoT...puts me in a bad mood.

Heh at first I read 'trucks with loads racing' and I was thinking now THERE's a concept. Cornering with loads at high speeds. But meh, dragracing like this is just like a light version of tractor pulling.
