I remember when Marlin 1st ran triples pretty much said it's a waste and went back to duals. I even remember that you could still read the triple lettering on his truck under the dual lettering. Of course he has returned to triples I believe to showcase the product. A member of my club and I beat the snot out of everyone in the turtle races at HDR one year with the Marlin Ultimates by almost 12 minutes on the course. Triples would just be silly.
