went over to steele dragway saturday,and garmons bunch was there doing some playing.there was a red dodge 4x4 reg.cab there with them ,that with some traction issues ,went a 11.11.that was one fast truck!!no doubt,,with a solid launch he would`ve been in the 10`s easily!,,,im sure we`ll see it over in atlanta in a few weeks,,,so,,watch out for that one!........and there was also a black cc duramax there that was having spinning problems also that went a 12.18!....not many trucks were there,,but boy there was some quick ones!

 

well,,,according to some other guys,,after i left,,later on that night when it cooled off,,the duramax went a 11.90 at 114!....the guy that ran this,goes by the handle 600+duramax out of miami florida that ran this...

 

Hey bama,
That sounds like some of the times that a fella named Dennis Perry has run. I'm not sure of the color of his, but I did hear David Dunbar (DavidTD) mention that name when he was up here for the Claremont get-together. David was saying there are quite a few fast trucks down that way. I'm hoping to come down there for the Sept. 11th races at Atlanta. I've got nothing to compete with those guys, but I still have fun and I still love to see the looks on people's faces when they see a Diesel run those kinds of times.
Check out the flyer

 

Hey bama - Is your truck white?

The red truck was Matts, same one at Muncie that was blue and silver. Man it looks good red.

I really wish we could have stayed for eliminations. Penny was on a roll in my truck. Her last three passes were 14.0's with a best light .53x and a worst of a .6xx.

And it was her first time ever dragracing....

I may have lost a truck...

We'll find out in Atlanta if it was beginners luck!!

 

yep dave,,,that was me in the white truck.i didnt plan on even trying it,but my wife made me ,,i just wish i hadn`t stopped and filled it up to the neck right before i got there,im sure that didnt help me any.but a 13.86@98.9 on level 5 on my box is a little better than i expected anyways..i dont know why i didnt realize that was matts truck-i saw it in muncie-i even commented about how the smoke rolls in the bed like that truck at muncie did ....anyhow,it looks great red,,,see ya in georgia

 

Bama:
That was a very nice run you had. Like David said the red truck was Matt's truck that ran in Muncie, blue and gray. I think the main problem Matts having is the end of the run. The truck just seem to be a little out of control. I still think the tires affect this. To big and too many cleats. And for the track, too much rain. I like the track surface. 1/8 mile concrete. Nice.

I figured David would know!



Hey Preston,,,,,,,,,
I didn't know you even remembered what your truck looked like half the time!

 

i`d say,,,,can`t imagine a truck going that fast being IN control ,,,,you guys have really got it together from over there,,,cant wait to see what you all do in a few weeks............and by the way david,,youre truck looks better with penny than with you anyhow

 

Yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, what bama said.

 

Come on Dennis........Old timers ain't set in yet. And would you believe it, I'm still in the same truck. 306K miles. I might start sledin it.

..Preston..

 

Cool, I saw you run and it looked sweet. Looking forward to Atlanta already.

 

Penny is supposed to have a grudge race with one of her friends in her F250 at the Atlanta race. Penny is gonna slaughter her if she don't break it. I may have to chip the stroke to make it fun.

Chris - will Leigh Ann be home? 3 gals in the competition sure would put the pressure on the guys.

Penny does make the truck look better, but my question is... will I EVER get to race it again.
