    Can you imagine what would happen if one of those trucks blew a front tire towards the end ? Being that close to the spectators, running off the track would have killed quite a few. Also, the EPA would ban it here due to smoke pollution coming from the stacks.
    But it is an awesome display of power in a truck.

    Wonder what the Cali DOT would say if you pulled into a scale with one of those trucks with that exhaust. Would be worth it just to see their faces.

    Their WOOD STOVES put out more smoke in the winter so pollutions not a BIG worry up in that part of Quebec.

    It is quite an event http://elrodeo.com/en/
