Wayne,
Thank you for the kind words! :D
I've bought my fair share of goodies from them over the years and with our field of Racing Rigs already having JEGS and Summit Racing rigs out there, I thought this would be a neat addition.
Now to get busy on tuning the chassis! :D

Must be exciting to race these 4 wide around a 4 lane track!

Looks like fun!

I don't think they would go around my 6" curves very well though on my tight little layout.......

:D :D :D

Thanks guys dge467 - :)

Wayne - you would be surprised at just how tight of a corner you can run them around! In "factory" trim, the tractor has front and rear guides and the trailer also has a guide and the truck under it pivots - so making tight corners isn't too much of an issue! (For our racing we remove all but the front guide and pin the truck on the trailer so it doesn't swivel)
But to say that these are a riot to race four wide is an understatement! :D

Couldn't be happier with the first outing with the new livery! :D

Thought I would share the write up from out track "media guy" and a couple pics from last night's action...

Alrighty ladies and gentlemen. Wednesday night wouldn't be complete without the biweekly running of the "Rowdy Rigs" race starting off the the nights action! Every truck was pretty much equal through the whole race and the action was clean and fast. Chris Cooper returned strong with a victory in his "bullet holed" rig. Todd Daenzer debuted his JC Whitney rig and pulled second with this brand new ride. Candis Palmer, also strong in her number 43 racing rig, just edged out Mary Peterson by segments. Aronn Palmer was also quick out of the docks in his Holly Hookers semi, but unfortunately couldn't hook up enough to take down Mary Peterson in her Petty Enterprises rig. Mike Myers JEGS rig and Terry Peterson Pepsi Co. rig finish out the field. Great racing everyone.

Initial start of the race:
