That is a pretty catchy chant great showing for the duramax by winning every class except MOD, which didn't have a duramax in it.

I am sure the Dmax pullers are glad they have a cheerleader so dedicated as you.
If I buy a Duramax will you polish my door handles too?

I was very disappointed with this years event as well. I went in 2006 and it was awesome (tons of trucks showed up). The midway was about the same this year as it was in '06 (but w/o the free Skoal!!!!). Between the cops and the ORP staff (bunch of unfriendly pr!cks), all chances of anything interesting happening was destroyed. I definitely will not be going back next year.

This was the first Diesel TRUCK pull i have been to and I had a lot of fun. I was kind of disappointed in the pulling but U still had a lot of fun. It did seem like the D-Max's were pulling a little better than the dodges. The dodge would pull it pass the 300ft mark then the chevy would take it just a few feet more. All in all I had a lot of fun for my first truck pull.

The cat truck had no steering so it couldn't run. As far as the goes I had the No Limit Diesel dodge that finished third in the work stock and if these duramax guys think they are going to clean house again this year they got another thing coming I'm just a few more adjustments away from edging them out of the top spot and the good thing about it is that I still have adjustments to make and I was even running on 5 cylinders with a hole in a fuel line and still got between the four of them so I don't thinf the chant will go as far this year. As long as it don't break

The announcer was an absolute tool and drove my friends and I crazy. Did see my old truck break a rear pinion in the work class. That sucked pretty bad. As far as the cops go in busting people doing burnouts, I didn't really care at all. I was glad to see a couple people get busted. Come on guys family event some small kids around........hit a bystander and that's not good. Saw one fool cutting some burnouts near my truck and watched the rear end slide around like crazy on his power choke, got to close for comfort. If he'd had gotten out of control and hit my truck, I'd have done a burnout on his chest or skull, then let the police carry his carcass away to the slammer. Can't blame them for busting some idiots. Look at the big picture. If you had a friend, family member, vehicle or whatever get hit you'd be ready to kill somebody. Had a cousin from the Carmel police department call me early in the morning and tell me not to be acting like a fool, cause they were stepping up the enforcement.

I went to Muncie for a bunch of years, and then Indy every year since it's been there. This is the first year i didn't go, and it was because of the way DHRA treated a lot of respectable people. There are other organizations that realize the participants are what make the show worth seeing.
