While the Rattlesnake is hard to miss, Hobbs is a virtual unknown on the circuit. You see, this is his first time racing this beast of a S-10 pickup on a prepped surface. The son of Ronnie Hobbs, Landon is fresh out of the Frank Hawley Drag Racing School. Landon claims that Hawley taught him things that will help him get down the track safely and rack up wins along the way. Let’s have a look.
The Chevy S-10 is equipped with a Brad Anderson Racing engine (348 cubic-inches) and a pair of Precision 98-millimeter turbochargers. That only scratches the surface as we look at this build that is dripping with the best high-performance goodies that money can buy. On paper, this is a great build. How will things go with a brand-new driver that is only out to get in some seat time?
For a guy with almost no experience, Landon found himself deep into rounds. He was absolutely tickled and a bit amazed when a ruptured transmission line brought him back to reality and cost him the race. There are big things coming for Landon and the Texas Rattlesnake.
