Riding Around August 2013
So after a long but very enjoyable day at Transport For Christ in Lebanon Pennsylvania we are on our way to our favorite hotel looking forward to a shower and dinner. As we make our way down 322 this long 379 catches our eye and of course we had to turn around and get some pics.

2012 Canadian Truck Races
Drag racing on it’s own is very exciting, but throw in a few curve balls like tugging a loaded trailer up a 9% incline only increases the “wow” factor several fold. There’s no place in the USA to partake in such an event, but a trip to St. Joseph DeBeauce in Quebec on Labor Day weekend will totally fill your plate with uphill racing action.
Flashback August 2013
I caught this very large 359 back in the late 80’s in Jessup Maryland. Not long after I took this picture this truck made an appearance in Overdrive magazine and I still have that issue to this day.
