Remember when we told you guys the poker player went for an off-road spin with Robby Gordon’s stadium truck? It turns out Dan Bilzerian promised the guy he’ll buy a new one in case he wrecked it, which fortunately he did not. He also posted a video teaser with the race recently, so we thought you might want to take a look.
Don’t you love it when you see non-race drivers rocking hundred horsepower trucks on off-road tracks? Maybe you don’t, maybe you’d wish to be them instead. Point is, we feel like it’s worth sharing whenever we found one, so here it is.
This time, Bilzerian even left the bikini girls behind, as he probably thought racing a 600 horsepower super truck is not really that easy. The millionaire spent a weekend over at Costa Mesa, California for this year’s Sands Sports Super Show exhibition, which was obviously a great occasion for the fellow to try to race one of them. He asked racer Robby Gordon for his stadium truck and promised he’ll buy a new one in case anything bad would happen.
And trust us, you don’t want to mess with one of this beasts. Their 600 horsepower engines generate speeds upwards of 130 miles per hour (209km/h) which is quite the big deal. Moreover, the track itself is pretty dangerous as well. Races feature man-made ramps set up in strategic locations throughout each course which allow the trucks to literally fly through the air nearly 20 feet (6 meters) off the ground and hundreds of feet down course.
At least now you know what you’re plans could be for this weekend...
