This is why, in a race, a large truck will have its left side lifted into the air. This is not a mistake, but rather the result of mechanical engineering designed to deliver maximum power while pulling a large load. In truck drag racing, high-powered, turbocharged engines are used, which create tremendous torque. When the accelerator is fully depressed, the torque reaction from the drive shaft causes the left side of the truck to lift up because the torque acts in the opposite direction of the drive shaft's rotation.
