Thanks for the kind words, guys!
Rowland, extra thanks to you for hanging around the 'Special and talking to people about it, and for helping detail it while the film crew was doing their thing.
It was great to have someone else from our chapter there!
You're right, Matt - I call anything to the left of me West.
Daniel, our runs were a little screwed up...
Had trouble rolling into the throttle slowly enough at 5100'
Forgot to reset the ABS for the 30" Proxies.
Can't lockout OD on an '05 (and no manual switch installed yet), so had 2 shifts on every run.
Still had the TNT-R set for 125mph, so ran into defuel at RPM.
Baselined very consistently with the 1st two runs, then turned on the injection for the heat-soaked 3rd run... and picked up 70HP on straight water dribbling out of all 12 nozzles in the individual-runner manifold.... gonna need about 5 more Shurflos to make it mist properly!
Hopefully, we'll be able to make it back out to Albuquerque for the diesel drags next month - we'll for sure have a full nitrous bottle and be a few pounds lighter.

He's running H20/Meth with a Shied high volume pump of some sort. Don't remember details but he's injecting something like a gallon on each 1/4 mile pass?
(It takes me 8 passes to drain my 1 gallon system with two 625 nozzles).

Yes, I discussed Scheid's system with him last year - it's pretty nice, but $$$... also, I don't like the pressure it develops.
The nozzles we use don't require that much pump overhead, so I'd rather spend the money on volume.
Not too many medium pressure, medium flow pumps out there though... probably going to have to cobble something together.
p.s. I was kidding about the multiple Shurflos (but I've seen guys hilljack that!)

Question. Do any of you guys locally have a small utility trailer I can borrow next month for about a week? I need something small........say 6' by 4' or so or maybe only slightly bigger that will hold 1 ATV and still fit inside my Weekend Warrior. I already have a utility trailer, but im pretty sure it's to long...over 14-15 ft total.
Here is my problem. I am taking my truck and toyhauler to Colorado for a camping trip.......and plan to take my ATVs too. But im not going to be camping near a trail head for the ATV trails. I don't want to have to break camp and hook up to the TH just to get to a trail head with the ATVs. I can't haul 2 ATVs in the bed of my truck......so I need a small trailer to haul one of them to the trail head (one ATV would be in the bed of the truck). The trailer would be inside my toyhauler until I got to Colorado...so I probably wouldn't put over 50 miles or so on the trailer. Any ideas?

Not sure if anybody saw this question in the other thread. Which thread are we on now...?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Mike.....It's gonna be perfect. (we talked earlier)
I appreciate it a bunch. I was actually looking at buying one identical to it (tractor supply) but hated to spend the money for a one time use.
