Hey guys,
I just read a thread on Artic trucks and it spurred a memory of Icelandic (or maybe greenland) hill climb trucks, very similar to Rock crawlers and Rock racing rigs.. All I really remember was that they hit the hill, had multiple turns on a really steep slope, were supercharged and whatnot, They also had them "skimming" a river, (moving so fast that they were able to hydroplane across, but if they let off the throttle SPLASH!!! down they went.... Looked amazing and I cant really recall ever seeing anything like it again.. anyone got any images or a dvd of this kind of racing??
Lemme know.

Yea thats the stuff!! Unfortunatly my internet connection stinks, and I wasnt able to really check out the U-tube vids.. If you guys have any stills please post them up.. I would love to build one of the rigs for the hell of it! They are just to cool.. Wish I could make a trip to see them run in person...

A real one or a rc version? A real one is going to run you more than 15 grand I'm guessing.
