Question 1st gen sled puller in CA ??????

I have seen a 1st gen at two local sled pulls and it has a DTR sticker on it, its dark grey with green weights. Think the kid driving it is named Cole but not sure. Just trying to find out were he is based or what his DTR name is.

Any body know who I am talking about??

Saw him at the Crude drags out in Bakersfield, and on Saturday in Lancaster/Palmdale at thunder on the lot. We had a so-cal DTR chapter meet there.

I think us DTR guys need a better way of meeting eachother, we pass like strangers in the night and never know the difference. ONly reason I knew he was DTR was the sticker in the window at Crude drags.

I was rooting for him on sat. being both DTR and 1st gen ! But it looked like he couldnt get boost, lot-o-fuel but no air.

He was lucky in Bakersfield, one of the few who could drive away from that one, same sled at both too!

Are you guys hooked up with your local chapter?

Ya we were involved with the northern ca chapter but since Rick moved everything kinda died off.

Saturday wasnt the best day for us, couldnt get the turbo to light in the 3000' altitude. We pulled it the day before in Hilmar and took 1st, and the next day in Newman and did good. I will post up some videos here when I get a chance.

The tracks in the 1st and 3rd videos are two of the best in california. But I am sure they are still horrible compared to back east.

It was a charity event, what do you expect? Is was really dry, they only watered it a little, could have been better.

PS- Hey RockJeep could you post the Lancaster video over in the CA DTR # 24 forum?? In the thread: Sled pull Palmdale ???? I would be very gratefull!!

D-C out!

What was going on with the first gen? Looked like turbo would not light. Or if it did it would not stay lit.
