Check this, High-Power Little Gangstas Tear Up the Track! TruckFest 3 Highlights!
The sun-washed concrete of Xtreme Raceway Park turned into a battleground as TruckFest 3 unleashed one of the most unpredictable, nitrous-hissing, turbo-whistling spectacles of the year — the Little Gangstas Class. With 66 cars clawing for glory and $20,000 dangling like forbidden fruit, the event felt like a carnival of power, clutch dust, and pure outlaw spirit.
Below is the full, SEO-charged breakdown of everything that went down — the passes, the upsets, the heroes, and the one driver who rose above all 66 competitors to claim the crown.
🏁 What Makes the Little Gangstas Class So Wild?
Little Gangstas is built for chaos — a heads-up, small-tire, no-BS battleground where 5.30-index monsters, tiny pickups, Fox Bodies, S10s, OBS trucks, Camaros, and even oddball wagons fight in the same sandbox.
No wheelie bars. No delay boxes. No mercy.
Just steel, boost, and bravery.
TruckFest 3 proved once again why this class is exploding across America.
🚀 First Round: The Fight Begins
The action started early as racers rolled straight into eliminations:
-
Aiden and Phantom entered the class with confidence, though both admitted they didn’t have many laps in their setups yet.
-
Aiden drew HPPP Manny, one of the toughest possible Round 1 opponents.
-
His truck had the power to run a 5.30, but execution is everything.
Aiden’s pass was wild — a bump, a lift, back into it, another lift — but the magic light flickered his way.
His first Round 1 win since joining Little Gangstas set the tone for the day.
⚡ Upsets, Breakouts & Heated Passes
TruckFest 3 became a blender of drama:
-
Close races decided by inches
-
Cars breaking out by being “too fast”
-
Wheelies that scraped the sky
-
Solo passes from sudden break-downs
-
Buybacks bringing fallen racers back from the dead
The most shocking upset of the night came when Michael Hollis, the winningest driver in Little Gangstas history (six wins), was eliminated early — opening the door for a new hero to emerge.
🔥 The Field Tightens: Down to 12 Cars
As the bracket narrowed:
-
Phantom and Aiden continued battling through rounds
-
Wagons, Camaros, Fox Bodies, and turbo pickups all mixed it up
-
Crowd-favorite runs poured heat down the track
-
“Heat! Heat! Heat!” became the unofficial anthem of the event
By the time only 12 vehicles remained, the pits buzzed with tension.
$20,000 was close enough to taste.
💥 The Final Showdown: Firebird vs Camaro
After dozens of battles, it all came down to:
