Cummins powered Dodge VS. Barn - what will happen?

[HoleshotHolset]

I know what happened - I took video and drove the truck. :)
I've posted a teaser frame grab from a point in time just prior to the fun...

Vote now and I'll post a link with the final edited video in a few days. :smokin:

I did not build the barn...it is at least 30-40yrs old.
You'll see the video soon enough. :popcorn:

AHA I saw this episode. (Hint) What did the chicken run around the barnyard yell?

Do I win a cookie?

Maybe in this case it's the CTD is falling, the CTD is falling... :smilielol:

[Big John]

Ya know they don't build 'em like they used to, unfortunate sign of the disposible society we live in....Holeset hows the weather in Ole Wis lately??

[<T M T T>]

OMG the 2x is flipping hysterical!! I fell off the toil .... er I mean chair when I saw the quick wheel rock session when you were maxed out departure angle wise :smilielol:

[HoleshotHolset]

...its hard to see in the video, but the 'ole wheel rock made the darn thing fall just a twee bit further. :smokin:

These friggin trucks are way too long for anything like this. The receiver hitch was digging in and preventing me from climbing any further. Seems to me I ran into the same issue way back when with my old '91 GMC Sonoma...hrmmm... :)

http://media.putfile.com/12-valve-Cummins-powered-Dodge-VS-old-barn---Part-I-teaser was the building of boost necessary?:smilielol:

[HoleshotHolset]

That was the first 'pull' of the building demolition so of course it was necessary. :HoleShotHolset: (I just noticed that the two emoticon dudes banging beer mugs together has taken on the same name as my login - I'm deeply touched by this more than words can describe... :) )

I learned (not very quickly) that boost launches in 4-low do nothing but snap chains and tear out little chunks of building. After breaking the chain twice, I decided to try to just 'walk it out'...this worked well, even if it was boring.

Getting traction was pretty much my only limiting factor, but some of that old grainery was VERY hard to take down - if it wasn't so ugly, I would (should) have just left it up. I've got video of my rear tires coming off the ground about 24" - yup just like when Mel Gibson tried to tear down the bad guy's seafront house with his gasser dually in Lethal Weapon. :smilielol:
