This Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ gets some big air off the final jump at the Knox County Fair. He really had this truck setup good for the track with aggressive mud tires. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the top contenders in the stock class at the tough truck events, always. It just seems to be able to cut corners and handle a lot of abuse while going fast. This is because of a good suspension setup from the factory. They use a factory four link front and back with coil springs which soak up the landings very well. Even though they can usually handle the abuse I have recorded some good accidents over the years, mainly because when they start coming apart parts just go flying! Tough truck racing, also known as tuff truck, rough truck, or Short Track Off Road Motorsports (S. T. O. R. M.) is a timed off road racing event. It wasn't created out of any sanctioning body, but evolved from an event hosted at local fairs. Initially it was held as a type of demolition derby for trucks that were damages or otherwise not road legal. In the case for the Hartford Fair in Croton Ohio, the event was held the day after the motorcross races. The event staff would smooth out the course and allow trucks to race the timed course. The fastest racer at the end would be crowned the winner. Over the years the trucks evolved from beater farm trucks to purpose build short track trucks with design elements from Baja trucks. These modified tough trucks eventually came into a class of their own, and have developed new characteristics to race the tight courses. Besides the longer coil over shocks and roll cages, they have implemented differential braking systems to help the trucks apply brake to one corner. This allows them to apply throttle while one side of the front brakes pivot the truck around corners. Other differences seem to combine rock crawler style solid axles and trailing arm suspension with stiffer front shocks, as well as some cases of four wheel and hydraulic steering. For the stock classes, the best vehicles tend to be shorter, smaller, and have a better front to back weight balance. Overall the XJ Jeep Cherokee 4x4 4.0l, and the ZJ Grand Cherokee 4x4 4.0L tend to do the best. Following the Mopars, the Ford Bronco, Ford Bronco II, Chevy Blazer, and Chevy Tahoe do very well. Some of the worst performers are the Dodge Durango, Dodge Dakota, IFS Chevy Silverado, and Ford pickups because of either less robust suspension or overall length. It either slows them down around corners or destroys the vehicles on the jumps. For the modified classes, the best vehicles tend to resemble smaller versions of Stadium Super Trucks, but have solid axles and gearing to suit tight tracks.

The Midnight Street Drags was a heads up, no time, grudge racing style event held at National Trail Raceway to let locals blow off some steam and keep it off the streets. There was a big variety of cars that showed up at the event and pretty much everyone had a great time. National Trail Raceway is an NHRA member quarter mile drag strip located near Hebron that hosts some of the biggest drag racing events in Ohio. It was first opened in 1964 and was the fifth largest facility at the time. #DragRacing Subscribe! ► https://www.youtube.com/rpmarmy?sub_confirmation=1 Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/RPMArmy1 Twitter ► https://twitter.com/RPMArmy Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/rpmarmy/ Flickr ► https://www.flickr.com/photos/rpmarmy/ Tumblr ► https://rpmarmy.tumblr.com/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iTOVUOylHg

The Dakota was a medium sized truck produced by Chrysler from 1987 to 2011. It was powered by everything from a 2.2 liter 4 cylinder all the way to a 5.2 liter LA/Magnum V8. While none of the V8 engines were especially high output the truck had respectable power and towing capacity. It fit especially well for people that didn’t need a full size truck, but felt that the GM manufactured S10 was too small. It spanned three different model generations and has a decent community of fans. You can see the trucks being used in different sports like drag racing and off road racing. Not many are used in tough truck, but some of the cooler modifieds are based on the Dakota. Tough truck racing, also known as tuff truck, rough truck, or Short Track Off Road Motorsports (S. T. O. R.
