Maddog13407 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) got to see the Buckeye Bulldog pull this past weekend at the Fonda Fair in upstate ny. 4 turbos and 4300 hp. had my B model with me, drove right down thru the pits , get out and Mr JR Collins himself is yellin at me to get over here.talked my ear off for about 45 min about 673, 711, 673T, the maxidynes, the better 673t's with firering and his favorite, the 866's. really smart guy when it comes to old Macks and nice as can be to talk with. looked over the truck quick, opened the door and its gutted! even the doors are chopped up, no inners or even inside sheetmetal, he only left enough to bolt the latch in and outside door handle, seat in the middle, think it even had a part fiberglass cab, the back of the cab looked fiberglass. him and some chopped up peterworth called Jacked up were competing i think but both got their ass kicked and a Maroon Dodge Bighorn ended up winning in the end. finished up the night with a few beers with the local fire department guys. overall a nice night. dont go to the fair cause i really cant stand the local rif raff and welfare people that i pay for everyday. haha Edited July 12, 2019 by Maddog13407 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I have never gotten to see the Buckeye Bullf=dog or the Killer Mack pull but they have some awesome engineering under the hood, and I want those damn valve covers off the buckeye bulldog, I have been looking for a set for a few years. Oh I just may have pics of Killer for comparison.

BAD DOG Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I've visited with JR Collins at Bowling Green Oh a few times. He is trulyl a real gentleman to talk to. I've bought a few of his Buckeye Bulldog Tshirts the last couple years. It's amazing the power that his truck and Dick Bonner's Killer Mack have. They can both back out of it going down the track and just push the fuel and pick it right back up again. I've also talked to Dale Francis a couple times he's a nice guy to talk to.
