I race 1:1 scale cars with the SCCA and am a corner worker as well, working primarily at Road Atlanta. A few years back, I got to see the behemoth tractor trailers race (like the one that CBear3 posted). I was very ill-at-ease in the corner station as these things seemed to be capable of coming to join us in the station at speed.
On a somewhat related note, Nissan used to have a factory road racing pickup team. Some of them are still around and are raced in ITT (Improved Touring - Truck) in the Atlanta Region. Here is an example...
There were other manufacturers as well!

I auto-crossed a yellow 75 & 77 Datsun pickup in the AZ region for about 6-7 years from the mid-70s up to the early 80s, running in Sierra Vista and in Phoenix a couple of times....all at a time when racing trucks was laughable.....I know I was there watching it, on the receiving end.
Best part was 3/4 of the field got the butt handed to them by a Datsun pickup with a bone-stock engine.

I'm running 2 TC6.2s chassis', 1 in 17.5 blinky and the other in Spec GT. The 5.5 ratio is giving me plenty of speed for that class so if I needed to drop down a tooth on the pinion I wouldn't loose much (5.51 to 5.66). Plus I need to try out different gearing to see if it would help me in our slow infield section.
Needless to say I was relieved to see the temp gauge under 160 degrees during this past weekends races.
Thanks for your input!!!
