in the trucks, the engines rotation spins towards the passenger side. when they stand on these massive trucks with their massive engines the 2500+foot lbs. of torque they have are pushing down on the passenger side engine mount and pulling up on the drivers side mount. most of the power goes to the tranny but some of the massive power goes into the frame trying to hold the motor from ripping out of the truck. thats how the pick the front drivers side. [thumbup]

That's the engine, still got the torque muliplication through the gearbox...

People cheer this?

Why not, some people even like soccer - and rugby... [rolleyes]
Noise, smoke, competition - I think copious amounts of alcohol may also be a factor...

All of which have fast-paced action. Those things get off the starting line with all the vim of continental drift.

Why didn't you just say that in the first place?

LMAO that was at Maryland international raceway. My friend was there and seen it happen. It exploded the clutch, transmission and axles. It was during the import vs domestic race. Needless to say we know who wins that every year.

I was expecting some sort of tranny theme'd race. I for one, am disappointed with this thread.

^^ theres your tranny themed racing for you....

You must have mistaken "wheel'" for "skirt" - or something else...

I envisioned a bunch of tranny's, lifting tractor wheels, in a race...[rofl]

I was not.
