I could hear Dean’s truck before I saw it when I pulled in to take his picture. It wasn’t the usual roar of the 318 Chrysler engine you hear trackside, it was struggling to start. But as you can see, it soon started and was reversed out of the shed for the photo!

Dean is a second generation Truck Racer! His father, Robin, was one of the founders of the sport! Sadly, Robin has passed away, but the Thomas name continues with Truck Racing!
Archie, Dean’s 5 year old told me… “When Grandpa was still here Dad crashed this truck…”
