Truckin Throwdown

9300 Cherry Ave, Fontana, CA | May 15 - May 16, 2015
9300 Cherry Ave, Fontana CA 92335
The Truckin Throwdown pits readers and their highly modified, but still street legal trucks against each other in a series of five categories consisting of a run down a 1/4 mile dragstrip, a high-speed slalom, a test of braking skills in the stop box, a cone-launching trip around the autcross course and a show 'n' shine, as these trucks have to look good as well as be fast. Title sponsorship for the 2015 event generously provided by EBC Brakes, with additional support from Belltech Suspension, and Magnuson Superchargers.

Alex Esparza and Jesus Mora’s 2007 GMC Sierra regular cab isn’t the most radical truck at this year’s competition, but we think it’s one of the more handsome ones, in a low-key way.
