I am not sure if I will make this one or not Merv. I have been planning on running up at Pittsburgh this year, but may not make the first race due to work related issue. If I can't, then I will definately try to make MIR. I never made it out of the burnout pit last time we met, your lucks about to run out though.....

Well let me know how things go. I'm not gonna make it due to other engagements. I can't race anyway. I still don't have driveshaft loops.

Cool

For the short while that I stayed, this event was a blast. Nice to see the dodge's rule in the Super Diesel catagory (as well as the Cummins powered cab-over Pete that was in the 15's). I had to leave right after Motz's jet-powered KW ran. That jet-truck terrified my daughter (I even saw a grown-man hit the deck).

They didn't check the trucks at all. They never looked under mine, asked if i had a helmet, anything.

It was a good time.

Later,

Dang! You know, you try to follow the rules....
I hate hypocryts, especially when I do something hypocritical.

I heard the Dodges were puttin it on everybody. The Ferds and Chebby's were in the 14's and the Dodges were in the 12's. Is that right? I take that smiley back, I'm not surprised, it's got a Cummins.

Yeah,

The dodges wooped up on everyone. I did see a really clean dmax break into the 12's... i think a 12.95.

There were atleast two dodges running consistent 12's, and one ran consistent 11's on #2 only.

A heck of an accomplishment,I know how hard it is to get a heavy 4wheel drive quad cab into the 11s .I shredded my flex plate trying.Congratulations C-Hawk all that hard work paid of.

I'll be happy if I can get into the 12's, as I tow my tractor regularly (over 10K). My dream is to tow the tractor to the strip, back hoe and all, unhook, run a 12.xx, hook up and tow the tractor away.
Bet a few jaws would drop at that.
Towing AND run what you brung!
