Race Car Stuff

If you have ever gone to the race track towing your car and the people who just happen to paddock right next to you have a humongous pickup truck. You spend the whole weekend looking at their truck and with envy. Well…. Don’t let that happen again. This is the International CXT:

It is a pickup truck built on a Semi chassis. Nobody in the paddock will outclass you. Here is a link for more information:

I love cool tow vehicles. This is definately one. I have seen this car at races at Summit Point and VIR for a few years, towing around a Spec RX7 race car. She is a 1989 Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 Police Package car. “She’s Ugly. She Know’s It. She’s Angry About It.” What more can be said.

You don’t need to know much more than 5.4 liter, Supercharged, 445 HP, and 500 lb/ft of torque. Sounds like a pretty good tow vechicle to me.

I have had a few other interesting tow vehicles submitted to me over the past few days. Entropy Racing from PA runs fleet of rental Spec Racers along with a couple of IT Honda Civics and a Caterham Seven. But the cool thing is they have a converted old fire truck as their tow vehicle:

This is the second in what we hope will be a regular running series. I have some old vintage tow vehicles in reserve. Keep watching.

I just love unique tow vechicles. Here is a great one.

It was done especially clean overall.
