WORLD'S QUICKEST POWER STROKE

-

truck hooks hard and gives Barnes a smooth ride down the track. The beefed up 9-inch uses Strange axles, spool and 3.25 gears to put the power to the ground through a huge set of 34.5/17.016 M/T drag slicks that are locked into a set of double beadlock 16x16-inch Billet Specialtie­s Comp Series wheels. To slow the truck down Barnes relies on a pair of Simpson parachutes, as well as Strange rotors and four-piston calipers at each corner that are controlled by a Wilwood master cylinder. Traditiona­l skinny M&H Racemaster 4.50/28.0-17 tires are wrapped around 17x4-inch Billet Specialtie­s five-spoke race wheels up front.

 ??  ??  After opening the door and lowering the net you can see the Sparco steering wheel mounted to a Woodward column and quick release to allow Barnes to get in and out of the truck quickly and safely. The switch console and parachute release lever are located high on the roll cage front hoop where they can easily be reached, but are also far enough away that nothing can be accidental­ly triggered.  Looking through the passenger-side door you can see the MOTEC modules and harnesses on the forward portion of the floorboard, as well as the carbon fiber Nitrous Express bottle in the billet aluminum mounts toward the rear of the cab. A combinatio­n of steel, aluminum and carbon fiber panels are used to seal off the dash, firewall and floor of the truck. The Precision Performanc­e Products air-actuated shifter is located centrally, within easy reach.  Barnes relies on a Sparco PRO-ADV full containmen­t seat and a six-point Simpson harness system to keep him safe and secure as he pilots the truck down the strip.
