- Semi Trucks #sendit for 30 laps on the #highbanks of #SalemSpeedway! Speeds up to 120mph and wheel to wheel racing...you have to see it to believe it!!
We love #racecar ...and #racetruck - Спорт
I can remember when they raced semis at Daytona,Wide World of Sports would show it.1970’s.
Solid!
Wide World of Sports use to have some serious demolition derbys to
Holy cow dude! I just happened upon this video and Wow. And yes, I remember that show as well. I grew up around trucks and truckers in the late 50’s / early 60’s. Truck rodeos were popular as well. Thanks for the memory
Remember that! How many blew Right Steer Tires and trashed their trucks against the outside walls!
@@jamesschaal993 - we are glad you like it! 👍🏻 Thank you!
I never felt so proud being a America. When I was driving truck for 30 years. Now I get to watch them race and have fun. God bless America.
Amen!
God bless America…while we can right? Because on 21 January 2025, it (America) could be a thing of the past. One day after the inauguration of the 2024 election winner would (and man I hope it doesn’t happen) and “his” post “one day of being a dictator”. No dictator has ever had total power and give it up after a day. 🤑🫣
This is why you can't that back home small town racing vibe with events like these. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome feedback! Thank you!!
Watched them race at the Rock back in the mid 70's ! They raced work trucks, dropped their trailer and went racing. After the race hooked back up to the trailer and back to work,if it wasn't wrecked or blown up .
So awesome! Thanks!
Got to see semi truck racing back in the day at Texas World Speedway.
We think it's pretty cool...
In 1974
@@rickdavis3593 1982 the one I went to.
1982 the one I went to. Texas World Speedway.
Last time I saw semis race was at the old Queen City Speedway. Not really a fan of trucks using a track made for cars, but oh well. Thanks to your wife for her service (from one et to another).
Thanks for watching!
I wish this was more prevalent around the country
We agree.
Bring back the factory stock semi's.... they were awesome back in the day.
noted!
This is amazing, we need this at every oval in the country!
We approve of this!
Need more racing less talk
Wide would of sports was great. I loved watching as a kid.
Awesome to watch thank you. Just a suggestion, turn up the volume on the truck engines. Commentator is great but some like the noise too.
Excellent feedback! We have big plans for the 2024 season. Stay tuned!
I'm a current trucker. 15 years now. I race 6 days a week against my ELD! I win most of them.
🤣👍🏻🫡🏁 Awesome! Keep on truckin and know you are appreciated!
I visit short tracks all around the country... Never know someday...

You know that flagman was nervous
😳
That was FREAKING AWESOME
Sweet! Glad you liked it!
You bet, would go to the Big Rig 200 at Dover Downs in Delaware
If a type of vehicle exists, there's a racing series for it
Woohoo!!! Let’s go!!!
I would love to see these guys on a road course. That was an awesome race!
Thanks!
Europe races all on road course's. Check it out.
I'm imaging these guys talking smack to each other on cb's while racing.
This is brilliant!! ❤️❤️❤️
It looked like they had their hands full already.
I think they were shifting gears on the corners.
I would love to see them on dirt.
Is there a UA-cam channel that follows these guys from track to track I would like to know about it?
I liked and subscribed thank you.
Be better on dirt with some crazy southerners driving like myself. I drove a semi for 28 years and won many a dirt track race as that was my hobby.
Damn I'd love to race one of these on dirt.
Hmm...very interesting...
@@TheSalemSpeedway I raced in cordele ga for years when it was dirt and they actually raced the semi trucks there after they paved it.
I ran the Frank Kimmel street stock series and the guys from Salem dominated those races.
Great video and maybe we'll see the trucks on dirt one day. It would be interesting for sure
That's awesome @@butchcassidy3373! Stories like this never get old...
No 2 Strokes.... What's up with That !?! Great to see the Semi's racing again.... but lets get some 2 stoke Detroits back into the mix to see & hear!!
Holy cow, look at all that nasty diesel exhaust polluting the environment. I just love it.
I didn't know the Bandits were back.
Let's go!
There is always one more racing genre to learn about. ….i didn’t know trucks did the oval track. ….Tom
Thanks for checking it out!
Just happened to catch this channel, awesome video! I love semi's. My husband was a trucker.
That’s great! Thanks for watching!
I remember when this was called the bandit series racing
That was pretty damn exciting!
Awesome! Glad you liked it.
It would be a LOT more exciting with some Detroit 2 Strokes thrown into the mix!!
Better than any F1 race ever. 😂
❤️❤️❤️🏁
🤩🇺🇸👍⚖️👁️👁️⚖️Damn great racing!!!👍👍🏁🏁🏁🏁
Sweet! We are glad you liked it! 🛻💨🏁
a couple of that were not represented and would be different would be a kw-800 custom and or freightliner fld 122 custom but a eagle would be a cool choice
Wow,that's get n it in a big trk,retired trucker myself that's why 2" ,2 1/2" roll cage maybe 3,thanks for info.👍☕️☕️✌️
Absolutely! Thanks for hauling loads!
Cool video last time I saw a semi truck race was on Smokey n the Bandit movie.
Thanks for checking it out!
i was at a race on the Syracuse Moody Mile with big rigs
No, you wasn't. I didn't see you.🤷🏻♂
Sweet!
Brilliant racing.
Thank you so much!!
Outstanding I haven't seen one of these races in a long while.Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Very unique form of racing!
Thanks for checking it out!
I’ve never seen anything like this before, it’s pretty cool 👍
That's awesome! Thanks!
Cool big rig racing .
Glad you like it! Thanks!
I am pulling for NC.
I like seeing them road racing.
Yep, we think that’s pretty cool too!
Truck racing has been in Europe for years and years.
Good to see it everywhere! Thanks for watching!
Yes. The US used to have semi truck racing series in the 1970's, though im not sure when it ended. In NZ & Australia there has been truck racing for a number of years, the tracks being of the same style as the European tracks.
If the track isn’t well built these Trucks will destroy it.
In the trucking industry, these are "tractors", they pull a "semi trailer".
This was a tough one for us in the name since calling it “tractor racing” would’ve had all the pullers and farm equipment racers out there giving us a hard time. We could’ve gone with big rig or something else but ended up settling on Semi’s. No offense partner! We hope you enjoy!
That was fun ❤
Sweet! Glad you liked it!! Thanks!
If y'all want to see a race why don't you bring these pillows to Bristol motor speedway the world's fastest half mile Bristol Tennessee now that would be a fantastic race
Semi trucks on Bristol - that would be cool!😎
Salem is quite similar to Bristol.
@@brianlecorchick true, lots of similarities. Good point!
If you look on UA-cam I believe you can find footage of a portion of a race at least & possibly a whole race. *After quickly checking, it's 9 minutes of the Bristol speedway bandit racing series.
@@TheSalemSpeedwayon youtube you can find at least 9 minutes of bandit racing at Bristol. This was excellent to see, Thanks for uploading an exciting & entertaining race. From NZ🇳🇿👍😁
Interesting!
Awesome! Thank you!!
Very cool 😎 race, thanks 😊
We agree, you’re welcome! We will do it again soon so stay tuned!
My father and I would go to Acto NJ...and watch Drags...Big rigs, cement trucks, Tri axel dumps....Good Times Back then👍🏻
Come visit Salem!
Both of my parents raced stock cars ,but this is another level. Outrageous!
Awesome!!👏🏻
Thee BEST circle track racing, is DEFINTELY Semi is On the High Banks! I wish my dad was alive to see this we were always wanting to see this when they had it in the old days when I was a kid and he was a trucker, or when I was a trucker and he was an older trucker.
Thank you for the kind words! Big Rigs race Live! today!!
That was the best race I've seen in a long time
Awesome! Thank you!
@@TheSalemSpeedway retired OTR covered wagon. Started 1983 pulling oilfield casing and drill pipe until the bottom fell out in 86. Then four decades mid west to west coast triple digit Texas Marmon large car and all aluminum Raven spread. Bran new off the lot from the Austin Texas Marmon Dealership. The absolutely most comfortable smooth riding dependable truck I ever drove.
I watched stock car races 1970 at Salem
This is awesome!!! We think you probably have some pretty cool stories.
The semis. at Bristol were faster than the NASARS, they were doing 122 mph. They had smaller. rear tires on the left side of their trucks. These trucks are quiet.
Big trucks on short tracks = awesome
Fast at Bristol are tour type modifieds. When they ran there than had restrictor plates to keep them out of the grandstands! Bristol is just as fast with dirt super late models and sprint cars with the clay layed down at Bristol. Under 15 seconds!
We were there.
Awesome! Let’s do it again in 2024!
@@TheSalemSpeedway We have made the ARCA and the semi races the last few years
Semi-entertaining.
We’ll take it 🤣 Thanks for watching!
Lol. Im fairly semipathetic for the old rigs.
When I was a kid we went to see the big trucks race. We went to Flemington NJ, Pocono PA, Syracuse NY. I think there was a couple more places we saw them too. My driver was Ej Utley he ran a yellow Mack #5 I think and there was a woman that ran too I can't think of her name now.
Enjoy the series! Thanks for watching.
Big Rigs can make for big crashes… I’m surprised they let fans in the stands sit down by the track…
Hell now,they raced them trucks back in the 80s.At pocono mountain speedway two and a half mile track
Really? We are commenting about this with someone else here about this very thing and haven't been able to find anything about it. Sure would be cool to see!
@@TheSalemSpeedway It was unbelievable. Single axle, small GMC's.
With v twelve detroit. Front Axel cut on left side and splitting wedge added. some trucks came on flat beds,Some trucks dropped the trailer in the parking lot. I saw a 2 trucks drive right through the first turn boiler plate wall and Into the Woods.And when we walked down to see them.The truck was facing the track and the engine was standing straight up on the bellhousing which smoke still coming out of it and they walked away. I believed it was called the bob tail two hundred.
My brother definitely has pictures.
@@TheSalemSpeedway Those guys who raced those trucks had titanium balls.
@@williameichner7177 WOW!! More of this please. 🙏🏻 👏🏻👍🏻
The Bullet stays on the highest line, 30 laps, and nobody can pass him onthe inside. Explain that to me? 46 Black really put on a show!
High line is the preferred line at Salem for sure. 👍🏻
Have any of you older guys been to the "Bobtail 500" at Pocono ? I went 2 years, I think '82 and '83 maybe ? They were running tandem axle back then, but I think the back one might have just been a tag. I remember they announced that Charlie Baker in his W900 had an average lap speed of 120mph, and was hitting 150 on the long front straightaway !! 2 1/2 mile tri-oval that NASCAR runs on. Those trucks were set up.
I saw Diesel truck racing at the infamous Altamont raceway Park in the late 90's
It was awesome
We think the truck races are pretty cool too! Number of views says a lot about the #racefans!
Much more fun on big racing circuits.
We are into .555 miles big but we like all kinds of racing. It’s all fun! Thanks for watching!
🚚🚛❤
🛻 💨 🏁
the k 100 was represented but it would of been better to see a aerodine
This is the coolest! 😎 FF to 12:05 to dispense with the BS.
Thanks for checking it out!
👍
🫡
Let’s bring them to eldora
👀
Hell yeah I would love to see that.
Those catch fences look small in comparison.. I'd be like sitting 20 rows back lol
It’s more like baseball. No matter where you sit as a fan, pay attention. Stuff is movin and everyone tries their best to keep fans safe.
Europe is or was big on this kind of racing. But they mainly race on road courses, not ovals.
i picked that blue truck it was second yea
Hello from alva oklahoma
Thanks for watching!
bracking to meanny pave ment
🤔 hmm
i guess three wide is out of the question.
You never know…
I’m wondering how fast they were going. That’s the only way to race get out front and not letting anyone pass
These trucks reach speeds up to 120mph!
How is Nick Black driving three trucks in this race??lol
Spee?? Give their speeds!!! It's a race!!!
Pretty good I enjoyed that thanks guys
Sweet! We’ll find some more and get that loaded soon. Thank you!
@@TheSalemSpeedway Great thanks ,I live in Texas , Galveston when I was a kid my dad as always took me to the old Texas world speedway in college station I seen real semi run on that track was badazz it's like a mile and half track
@@TheSalemSpeedway it was pretty cool in the early eighties could do a lot back then safety really wasenent a concern back then
Running about 80 i guess
Top speed 120mph!
If they are the 13 best in the country . Why not have them race the pocono raceway ? That hasn’t happened since I was a young boy .
Drivers come from all over to race at The Salem Speedway and we hope you like the show! Pocono is a pretty cool race track too although it's very different. 2.5 miles in length and called "The Tricky Triangle" and we are a .555 mile oval. We aren't sure the big rigs ever raced there but that sure would be awesome!
Nice equipment Announcers! 1 mic & it fails. Lol
We humans don't get it right all the time but thanks for watching and we'll keep working on it! 👍
FIGURE 8 SCHOOL BUS RACING
Skip first 12 Min.
first 12 mins. are a waste of time
We are new to the world of UA-cam and appreciate the feedback, we really do. Until we get our editing skills dialed in, we hope you keep watching, letting us know how we are doing and use the ffwd function any time you like. 👍🏻
So if you were at track you would be complaining of the progress of the show? Are you aware that in real life at a track, this is how things progress? As for You Tube. there is this thing called a fast forward button, use it if you have a short attention span.
So what motors are they running?
Stock motors for the trucks. Enjoy!
Skip ahead to 9:30, that's when they actually start racing.
I noticed no cabovers.
👀 do we have any cab over drivers willing to take up the challenge out there??
water cooled brakes is nothing new. The loggers north of the border on the west coast the last I knew were still using water injectors in the brakes.
huh are these genuine souped up semi tractors? or just tube frame trucks made to look like them like the nastruck series, and second at salem the track that took the life of soo many racers like rich vogler and banked like talledega, judus priest anathama sit
I mean to say I dont belive it its interesting but I dont belive it and on a track that high banked those cant be too easy to wheel something that big even if they modify them to make them lighter and more tolerant of the high speeds, never been there but been to winchester the other super highbanked track in indiana and part of the high banks challenge, and I can say I love the place its like a superspeedway but its like going back in time to avilla baer field and eldora before it was built up a home town track but world famed and world class racing and 100 percent hoosier especially with openwheel cars and all kinds of crazy racing machines that take to the tracks here.
Genuine semi trucks but with a proper cage, seat and other safeties for sure! 👍🏻
We are a 33 degree bank whereas Winchester is a 37 degree bank. We love the idea of the Hoosier High Banks series!
Come check us out some time and thanks for watching!
@@TheSalemSpeedway eh yea thats what I was told by a friend that used to race and him and his dad did track service and pushtruck at baer field when it was running, said hes been in all kinds of race cars usually as a substatute driver named dustin or dusty wallace, said these things run up to a v 12 and are extraordnarly loud, I would have thought would have been less loud due to the lower higher torque rpms of diesle engines usually.
and that this was kind of dying out as it is kind of dangerous so many have moved to circle tracks,
up till yesterday didn't know they would race semi trucks its a lot of weight and mass moving seems would be hard to steer even with power steering, and hitting a catch wall with that kind of speed I imagine would hit like a wrecking ball, and just so surprised to see this at such a high banked track meaning more sustained speed in the turns, salem is one of the highest banked tracks in the world 33 degrees same as talledega I belive, and as you point out winchester is higher and holds the record for highest active banking though there were a few others like the old board tracks and maybe places like the terremar in spain and maybe the one turn at monza that hasn't been used in decades, though winchester did have 45 degrees as you problably know when it was dirt, and was said to be the very first 1/2 mile built for autosports not being a horse track or say a velodrom.
been to winchester for the vogler classic last 2 years and love it, but the banking is insane the silver crowns look like bobsleads on the banks and look as though they are trying to fend the wall right off the track like a football player blocking an opponant or hockey player trying to veer off someone trying to get the puck from them.
Its why I coined the term on the rails racing wheels to the walls as crown racing has a lot of conservation and strategy during its long races but still very fast open wheel racing like the earliest days of racing when it was on horsetracks in runnabouts, or coupe roadster type cars that predate even the indy motor speedway to which the crowns are a remnent of those type of full size front engine cars , though there are few mile state fairs around anymore and still cant belive they changed the one in indy to make it only good to park on or do harness racing, would have been nice if they kept at least the half mile there to race on, would have been win win, still could have the big mile but we could still have flattrack racing and silver crown at the track of champions, and still had a big dirt track in indy they got every other kind of track but a long dirt track unless maybe irp wants to put up a 1/2 or larger or put dirt down, or maybe put a longer turn out on one side of the turn 3 track at the brickyard just takes the will to do it and the money for it.
I do appreciate you responding back in and official capacity and sarry for my rambling, maybe I will come down one day but its soo far from up by fort wayne to drive down and back late at night when a race gets done.
@@TheSalemSpeedway also I like the fact we have some of the highest banked race tracks in the world, would love a dirt race on one in indiana, though when I saw mr shaw the owner of winchester he said he wouldn't do it there too much dirt and money for good clay and another guy that knew him was talking to me and him after the vogler classic in 2022 said the with that high of banking the dirt would likly fall down and make a burm at the bottom and said something like that happed at bristol when they did it or at some raceway and the dirt would roll down making a burm at the bottom and increasing the danger, though I would love to see a second dirt silver crown race in indiana beside terre haute if even just 1 time or 2 since the 2021 hoosier hundred that was supposed to be at the indy mile got canceled cuz they couldn't wait one month to start converting to limestone which had been put off because of the pandemic.
just one time I would love to see it, but no one builds 1/2s much anymore and the perpensity is to make tracks shorter and flatter so the drivers have to drive them more and battle more, but you cant have nascar or silver crown on anything less then a 1/2 though they did have that one race on the 4/10ths at berlin in marn michigan some years ago.
@@manga12 - It's a pleasure! There's a lot of history in what you're saying and we appreciate the chat. If we're talking about racing, we're probably have a good conversation!
@@TheSalemSpeedway yea I can write a doctoral lenght thesis on something, just ask history mystery man, don, I am sure you know him I belive he has worked for or helped with events at salem and winchester , hes interviewed many figures in midwest racing. was the announcer at limaland and worked for winchester at the time covid hit and everyone was kept apart by the 6 foot rule,
saddly I have yet to see him in person even at the same events he is at, and belive me I have glanced around for him.
long and short of it first time at a racetrack was monstertruck night at avilla in 1992 then talked about sprint cars and they had them at the track early 1993 remembered how I saw them and all their funny lookingness in 1988 on espn likely thursday night or saturday night thunder, cant even remember what track that was I remeber seeing one of them loos a header pipe in the episode but cant find it online for the life of me looking for it, thats kind of where I got my start watching racing, didn't get to see dirt till eldora in 1994 thought it was neat the cars actually broadslided though the turns and how they would spray dirt on the wall as they went by and liked it just cuz well it was something I didn't have usually, liked it but then my cousins that took me to races had a son and had to save money and spend time with him, end era 1 of watching racing live saw a few races on tv like knoxville and eldora on tv and I think the hoosier 100 part of it on I think speed, and me recognising some of the names as sprint car drivers me not knowing the cars were differant and a foot longer, then 2019 litteraly 21 years after seeing a race with the sod series at angola in 1998 saw 410 sprints racing at jacksonvill illinose being streamed and the bug bit me again wanting to go see a race again live, and seeing they had some dirt racing at baer field wanted to go see them have a sprint car race there but never got time with that friend that year ran out of time, and the raceway never reopened, and the sons of the owner that passed away didn't want to be absentee owners living in colorado so they didn't renew the lease that dave muzzillo who is distant relation on moms side of the family had as promotor and they told him to vacate, and the raceway was sold after 2 years some guys wanted to reopen it but got outbid by gm to use as a test track who then I guess decided it was too small to test their silverados on so sold it back to the airport and as of at least a few monthes ago was still there forlorn but intact, rumor states they are wating for someone to come along to develop it but on line people state they have no intention of letting it be used to race that is what people say but I know not if its true, so 2020 rolls around little to no racing so started watching bracket racing since was the only racing on really 2021 rolls around and talked of going to indy for the last hoosier 100 or that new track circle city, though more of going to something that was after reading on it a very old and venerable race and wanted to see the last one, hundred not held was devistated, felt and still feel betrayed by the state fair, left usac in a bind and held an event at terre haute and ended up going to the maiden run at circle city, which also was on tony stewards 50th birthday had the all star circut three quarter midgets and the 410 winged sprints, first feature won by local to indy racer sunshine tyler courtney who would have been the last hoosier 100 chamion if covid didn't put off and give us one more hoosier in 2020 so closed out one era of racing or would have, and opened as first feature winner at the newest track in indy, been kind of my favorit driver in 410's when hes at a race I am watching, have come to appreciate others though especially zeb wise who is a north indiana native like me, I used to have family that lived on the lake in angola zeb grew up on. when given the choice its the native born drivers from indiana or the local one, but do appreciate and respect others that are transplants too, kody swanson, justin grant, tmez, taylor ferns, kaylee bryson, and when he was racing bryan tyler as i used to cheer on his brother in the first era of watchin sprint car races at avilla and baer field, and if doing well shane cottle, or Brady Bacon as he is the promotor for the Vogler classic and have talked a bit with him after the race while he was up at the snack bar having a beer while I was standing there chatting with Tom Bigalow, and I respect what logan sevey has done in a short time but he seems to be the foil to the drivers I am rooting for and i mentioned thus at the 4 crown nationals and he said akin to well I hope I blow them out of the water, when I mentioned the drivers that I like, I am sure he was just razzing me, but he did sweep the usac divisions last year something only Jack Hewit and Kyle larson have done of course, last year was one for the books though they revived the hoosier hundred but on pavement, though I think most of us would love to see it on dirt and even bobby santos 3 who won carb nights silver crown race 2 years in a row stated at its heart it should be at the indiana state fair, I got to see little 500 champ tyler rocket rorigh podium there, and got to see the eldora million as well as the last race determining the champion of the origional allstar circute of champions, though I have read in the dirt tracker daily comments that high limit will bring back the name eventually a few years down the road.
anywhoo I took long enough typing this and all its bad grammor.
How come thete is no HUD TO watch the stats where is everyone else running and how about a lap count so we know what lap they are on
Excellent feedback. We are working on it! Thanks for watching.
check kurt goranson from sweden!!!!!
Day cab, not a simi
You’re right. They’re too fast to be called a sleeper. 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻🏁
Watched pedal car races more fascinating then this
We appreciate you checking it out! Come back any time.
Cant even hear the trucks in this video :(
Why are t here kids out in middle of track
Fans of all ages!
Well, it's cool, just not very exciting. The only chance was to steal the outside line in turn one and 2.
We thank you for checking it out!
We did this 25 years ago in Calgary Alberta Canada.Aint seen anyone out of shape yet. Not much of a race.
Good to see Canadian fans!
pretty bloody boring looked like there were only two trucks racing very little of the others were shown
Thanks for watching and giving the feedback!
If you've been lap'd why not gtf off the track then... seriously?..
You never know...it's racing! Thanks for watching.

Like watching paint dry.
Rolling it on! Thanks for checking it out.
