Anyone ever done one of these? I think I am going to do it this year at the Hartford Fair in Licking County. I have a good lead on a good running older Toyota Pickup with a utility bed.

In case you are wondering what this is

You would have to be either retarded or extremely rich to enter a 08 truck into a rough truck competition. I have watched a couple and your shit gets torn up if you are not a pussy but it does provide for good entertainment.

I did it at the Hartford Fair back in 01 or 02 I believe. Took an old 70something F150 Ranger that had been sitting in a friends barn for a ton of years and got it barely running enough to drive it through rough truck once. It was fantastic.

So you are saying it is worth my minimal investment

well duh

My issue with doing the Rough Truck is that it is the same night as the barrel races, which a ton of my childhood friends run in

Nice, that should do just fine. I'll have to make it up for the rough truck this year so I can be there to pwn you after you fail.

I have all my teeth but I only have 1 brain, so I guess you are half right

+1. I had all my teeth when I ran but obviously had less than that many brains.

I hope your truck catches on fire and you get trapped inside.
