Tyrone Malone and the AMT Super Boss (1976-1982 era)

Jerry (Tyrone) Malone demonstrated patriotism in the way most fitting for him: He re-customized his renowned Boss Truck of America into the ”Super Boss” racing rig.

After Jerry Malone had the truck ultra-customized, he also changed his name to Tyrone Malone, “Mister D.D.D,” which referred to Daredevil Diesel Driver.

Are trucks better than cars? Should we admire four wheels, or MORE wheels?

the Manhatten project van and tractor trailer

Starting in 1942, the U.S. government began quietly acquiring more than 60,000 acres in Eastern Tennessee for the Manhattan Project -- the secret World War II program that developed the atomic bomb.

 The result was a secret town named Oak Ridge that housed tens of thousands of workers and their families. The entire town and facility were fenced in, with armed guards posted at all entries.

 Photographer Ed Westcott (the only authorized photographer on the facility) took many photos of Oak Ridge during the war years and afterwards

the American Truck Historical Association was at Speedfest again this year, a cool display of Kenworths and White rigs

If you had a show rig, I guess you'd transport it to shows on a cool rig like this
