2006 Carlisle All Truck Nationals

Part 3

Also check Carlisle All Truck Nationals, Part I and Part II for coverage of many of the trucks at the show.

In Part III, we got coverage of a hot event at the show: The Burnout Contest. The person who makes the most smoke (and ruins his tires the most) goes home with the prize. We even got a few pictures of burnout contest casualties as they drove away.

We've also got pictures of the Diesel truck pull (some call it a tractor pull or a sled pull) for those oil-burnin' haulers at the fairgrounds. The field was dominated by burly Dodges with Cummins oil burners, but the Ford Powerstroke and Chevy Duramax guys gave them a real run for their money.

A smaller event that drew in a crowd of wide-eyed onlookers was the freestyle motorcross demonstration. It's amazing what you can do with a couple of ramps, a dirt bike, and no little voice in your head screaming "THIS IS A BAD IDEA!!!" With eyes focused in amazement, attendees witnessed famous aerial tricks with names like "Magnum", "Superman", and "Look, Ma, No Hands!"

Also huge at the event was the rock crawling field. Attendees could take their truck or Jeep and attempt to navigate their way across a boulder infested pile of rocks. Though most drivers had a great time forging the huge rock pile, a few of the less-experienced off-roaders found themselves stranded. Will they ever get out? Check the pics below to find out...

All in all, the weekend was a huge success and fun was had by all. If you stopped by the Stylin' Trucks booth and signed up for our sweet 2006 giveaway truck, you proabably saw the beast and even met some of our truck show staff. If not, we really hope to see you next year. Stop by our booth and say "Hi."

Let's check out the show pictures! (Click the photos to enlarge...)

The Freestyle Motorcross Demostration was certainly a crowd favorite.	The riders' death-defying, high-flying antics brought in many "oohs" and "aahs".
And just for good measure, everyone loves a nice smoky burnout!	This purpose built off road rig shows lots of suspension movement.
A great off-road buggy with one Hella fog light does the slow crawl.	A nice Jeep Wrangler with a Flowmaster exhaust and lift kit tries to climb the wall of rocks.
The Jeep's BF Goodrich tires help him make the climb up the wall a breeze.	A Jeep from Whaley Enterprises makes short work of the rock course.
A custom rock crawler shows his suspension flex while being followed by a Jeep Wrangler.	This lifted Wrangler almost loses it to the rock face's extreme descent angle.
A buggy from Rock Spider Racing and Flexonthis.com shows how a buggy is supposed to perform.	This custom rock crawler slowly creeps along while the passenger casually watches the scenery.
There were many different vehicles that showed up to make their bones on the rock course.	This driver in the modified Jeep attempts to leave the rock course without falling on his head.
He sends the rear sky-high but keeps his Wrangler under control.	Another vehicle from Flexonthis.com shows up. Only this time it's a Jeep with Hella lights.
This poor Jeep Cherokee with fender flares has certainly seen better days.	A nice Toyota pickup that came equipped with fender flares, big wheels, and no doors.
The rock course wasn't particularly large, but the rocks and voids were. Competition was steep for this event.	While nobody should fear trying to off-road, you should fear needing assistance from some construction equipment.
A little maroon Jeep Wrangler brings his winch and driver across the course in safety.	Bead locks, crash bars, a winch...this Wrangler means business.
You can't just look the part, you've got to act it too. This Wrangler has all of the bolt-on accessories you could want and he got stuck.	This stock-looking Jeep Cherokee made light work of the course. It's all about driver skill...
Most of the vehicles competing in the event were Jeeps.	The passenger looks on as this Jeep crawls over the big bumps.
Here is a nice Jeep Wrangler with plenty of travel in his suspension lift kit.	The Ultimate Adventure Wrangler almost gets stuck in a rut.
This purpose-built buggy waits his turn at the rock course.	With the passenger looking on again, this white Wrangler tries to climb the rock face.
Another Jeep Wrangler with a lift kit showing some attitude on the rocks.	This is one of the Dodge Rams that dominated the diesel truck pull. It's a 4wd truck with a big rig exhaust.
A nice Dodge Ram Diesel 4x4 holds extra weight on the front to keep traction on the ground. It also has a Lund lunar visor installed.	Another nice Dodge Ram diesel with a big rig exhaust. He's dragging the sled like it's nobody's business.
This Dodge Ram shoots enough black smoke to cast a shadow over himself, his cowl induction hood and half of the crowd.	Not all of the trucks were Dodge Rams. Here's a Super Duty Ford that had a smoked hood guard, clear overcab lights and extendable towing mirrors.
This mini truck definitely brought some cajones to the burnout competition.	This Ford Ranger made plenty of smoke in the competition. He's got a ram air hood and chrome speed grilles.
This Dodge Ram dually has a big rig exhaust, bumper guides and a whole lotta smoke.	It took a moment to get going, but this Dodge Ram really brought the smoke....
This Silverado has clear lenses, a polished billet grille and lots of smoke.	What's the end result of all of that smoke? Some ruined tires...
This Toyota with fender flares really showed what the off-roaders could do in a burnout competition.	Puplic Service Announcement: Jeeps are no good for burnout contests.
