The good thing for Mic is that the people who matter already know the truth. And let's be honest. Has anything in Truckin mag impressed anyone on this site? I haven't been smitten with a damn thing in that mag since I was a teenager

The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......
Most the feature's in Truckin' are shop owners, getting a plug for there shop in exchange for their tech articles.

I agree not everyone can compete and that is the point of the invite. To get plenty of competition, but preferably a higher level of competition. And as it's a relatively new event, tehy are still working out the kinks.Think it is up to truckin... But can't hurt.
I hope I get invited. I think my truck will suprise everyone... It's not built to be a straight line truck at all... But it's just plain fast...
Yep, gotta be invited to compete.
Ya, I'm not saying every truck should be considered. It would be hundreds of bench racers trying to prove their stock ride with a throttle body spacer is the fastest truck in the world... I believe I have a real chance to win this, not just compete. I have been going to road corses and playing on abandoned air strips to get my truck and skills dialed in... I don't talk trash, and never throw myself out there, but on this I would! If they don't give my truck a chance I will be pissed.. But not much I can do, I'm a nobody, I don't have some big name behind me to get me into events... To me project novacane was a joke... Half built thrown together pile of parts... Not impressed at all... Anyone that doesn't believe me and feels like talking trash... Save ur breath and just pm me and we can meet and race any type of racing u choose.
2nd, personally, I've been very impressed with Project Novakane. They have had some mechanical errors, true, but that can at times be expected. I followed the entire build and was very pleased at their coverage and the results. The only real trouble they had out of it was a problem with the water pump belt, if i remember right, in the first competition.
And to adress the comments about Truckin mag, I thihnk there will probably be more lifted coverage with their new look from teh way they're trending now. I mean, I'm not a fan of lowered trucks wither and it takes a lot for me to be impressed with one because they are so limited to the pavement. I've always preferred lifted trucks, but I have found a few that catch my eye such as the Kolor Blind Silverado back in 2009, I believe.
And I don't doubt you would have a chance to ein. I'm not saying you don't. I would be very interested to see you compete in Throwdown or a similar event.
uhhh, theres like a total of 3 lifted trucks on this sitetheyre not saying its stupid to lower trucks, if anything why lift a truck harder to load, loud tires bad MPG etc., what theyre saying is in every trucking mag the trucks got giant rims 30k interiors, buncha fiberglass speaker boxes, bagged out laying frame, with a stock motor and some painted accents

The difference between winning and losing, is having a 2nd stage.
Ya, they need a performance truck mag tailored more towards performance than looks. Kinda like diesel power, but for gas. Just my .02

Now that's a magazine I would read. I've had a subscription to Truckin' for the last couple years and anymore just flip through it look at the stupid pictures then read about the classic trucks and toss it in the trash. The articles on most of the cover tricks and the "typical" trucks in there are just pointless and plug some retards shop.

I agree there should be a truck performance magazine. But to I also have to say that not all of them are trailer queens. I personally like how they started the Busted Knuckles section back up almost a year ago now. It really just depends on the issue because it varies. That's just how it is.
Personally I'm biased towards a lifted truck. Just what I was raised around, I guess. I don't mind lowered trucks as long as you can clear a freakin pothole or speed bump without tearin up the whole bottom of your chassis. that's what I think looks bad unless you do it right.
Anyway, back on topic, anyone planning to attend the event?
