Pikes Peak Super-Turbo Semi Freightliner Race Truck Explained

( ) A few days ago we posted a short video of the Banks Super-Turbo Semi Freightliner Race truck as it raced up the 2013 Pikes Peak International Hill climb. In the wet, the 2800 hp and 5000 lb-ft of torque Freightliner Race Truck barely clung to the road as the rear wheels tried to tear up the mountain and trucks tires. A few days before the race we caught up with Gale Banks, who explained the thinking and engineering behind installing a turbo, a supercharger, intercoolers, and even methanol Injection system into this monster truck. Check out this entire interview to get to know this monster truck a little better.
