Next time out at the track, I should be busting deep into the 12's. I made a run last night at Mempiss Intl. of 13.11 with a crappy 2.10 60ft. Much room for improvement, and thats without slicks. With slicks, a 20lb launch, and 60ft's in the 1.9 range and I should be knocking on the door of mid 12's!!!! Don't know if i want to take it that far though, cause I don't have a billet front half w/flexplate in the tranny, and this is my daily driver.

 

didnt that bullydog truck on pinks run a 11.2 ?.It was pretty much toast after that though,anyone hear what happened to it?It was knockin like crazy

 

The Pinks truck has had a problem with keeping the engines together but the tranny hasn't gave them a bit of trouble...

 

I do not watch the pinks show,but I have heard they start the race with some guy flagging them and race the quarter.Do they post et's and speeds on the boards afterwards?The only Bully Dog truck I have seen times posted on is the diesel inferno truck and it ran a 12.2et.

 

I don't know if they post the times and speed on the boards or not. I know its in the 11's. Its up in Michigan right now getting I believe its 4 engine. From what I hear its going to be a screamer if they can keep it together.

Ill try to find out if I can get you some times and speed.

RC, congrats on your time. I've watched your videos OVER and Over. That's just awesome.

 

Congrats Rc onthe good times. I think I May go withthe artic air setup myself. I also wanted to point out the (noone has) The BullyDog truck is not a driver it was built with sole intention of racing. It should be in the low 11's or they may have as well wasted money. I under stand they even went as far as custom chassis work. Check out some post and you will see. Mind you I have incredible respect for it is an awsome vehicle

 

They don't do ET's on Pinks.. it's "street" racing, the host is the starter, no tree, no timing.

Great time RC...

 

I seen the buult dog truck in Kentucky,its really a cool truck,it has some custom suspention and it really is built to race.I hoped I might get a chance to line up with him but he broke before I did.

 

RC:

It was a pleasure to have met and talked with you at the "T&S Performance" Rally in Kentucky! Congratulations on your great times with the truck! My son and I are glad we were there to see you make the runs! I am very sorry to hear about the damage to your engine! We were hoping as you were that maybe it was just the head gasket. Also, I would like to see the Bullydog Truck line up against yours when you get everything fixed! Please be sure to let Mr. Strickland know of "banshee's" current set-up in just in case he has him confused with another truck. Thanks.

Take care buddy and hope to see you at Indy.

On the pinks show, the Bullydog truck blew a radiator hose and ran the last two runs on a dry block pretty much. On top of all that, what little water was left in it was being dropped on the ground and getting under the rear tires adding to the problems making it slick for him. He ran the last run with the truck knocking when he pulled up to the line a little, and for the Cummins to have held together through a high 12 second pass without any water and with all they were throwing at it is just amazing.

 

In the new issue of dieselpower it says they ran an 11.2 maybe they time them and dont show it?I cant see how they wouldnt show it though because everyone would want to see.
