Putting the "Grand" into the Green Grand Prix
-
Next up is the Grand Poobah - the Dodge 3500 complete with the "666" performance pack (Six cylinder, Six Speed, and Six wheels!)
-
Complete with utility bed, this Dodge was the heaviest vehicle out there! With no aeromods this stock work truck would need a great piece of driving to pull out some attention getting numbers. But first it would need to get out on the track. Here's the Dodge tucked in behind Centurion in the event lineup:

If you didn't see it as the hawk flies, here's a better view down on the false grid:

Out on the track the big Dodge handled that nice uphill just fine! Centurion was actually pulled backwards by the draw of the Cummins cooling fan:

It wasn't always smooth sailing with 40 plus cars on the track:

Depending on driving style, the traffic can actually break your strategy so you've got to be pre-planning when jockeying for a line:

And as the work truck coasts by a mighty wind-blast can be felt:

But the pit-stop is halfway for this hauler. East downward bound, loaded up and truckin', Redneck cruises to a 22.67mpg and another award goes to an ecomodder!

Redneck writes about his fist time out on the Watkins Glen International Raceway for the Green Grand Prix in this posting, and I couldn't agree more!

Great job by Redneck and the Dodge 3500 that drove up from South Carolina to compete in the 2016 Green Grand Prix!
