The weather gods literally rained down on us today in Indianapolis for the 2019 edition of the Ultimate Callout Challenge. A wet morning led to an unfortunate late start resulting in cold, late night action. As the rain quit, the pits began to fill with qualifier and competitor trucks as well as a sea of spectators. Let’s dive into the day one action with both dyno and drag racing action.
In this event, like years past, the top 30 trucks in the country battle it out in three events: drag racing, dyno, and sled pulling. Pulling the farthest or going the fastest won’t win you this event. It’s about who built the most consistent truck for all three events. Each event has a point system awarding each driver for their performance.
Day one was the drag racing competition for the UCC competitors to see who could lay down the fastest elapsed time. For the UCC qualifiers, they started their long weekend with the dyno competition to see who could push their trucks to the limit on the rollers. What a wild day of competition. See below for the results of Day 1.
