Ever see an 800hp off-road race truck on the drag strip and road-race course? Neither had we, which is why we set that up on this episode of HOT ROD Unlimited. Join Mike Finnegan as he takes a look at the fabrication and the power behind Cameron Steele’s Desert Assassin Trophy Truck that runs in the SCORE off-road race series, sponsored by Monster Energy and Yokohama tires. You may also know Steele from hosting action-sports shows on TV, but in this video he’s at the wheel of his desert truck on the quarter mile of Auto Club Famoso Raceway and the big track at Willow Springs International Raceway, right alongside us in a new Mustang Boss 302 and a Raptor 4×4. Watch the surprising results!
