Big Bad Dodge @ Hollister, CA

Scott Vorhees got an opportunity to make an exhibition pass at our local county fair last weekend. I gotta say this truck is awesome to see in person. Everything is top notch- engine, drivetrain, chassis, body, etc. Not to mention it runs like a raped ape

Here's his 342 foot hook.

That was a good pull! Looks like they have it running good.

Wish we had trucks like that near my place

Was there for that run.
That thing ran great but the whole stands got smoked heavily.
So what did you think about the F-450 and both Duramax's?

Based on what happened last year, I'm suprised they let the Right Gear & Axle truck back in this year... As far as the Dmax's, the white one was on his way to winning our class until his driveline snapped. And the pewter one was just comedy. I'm pumped I placed 6th out of 21 with just a Smarty and muffler delete

So what did they do last year?
He probably would have done well if he wasn't so tall or had the rearend blocked. Looked and sounded like he destroyed the u-joints in his front driveline.
That white D-max looked like it had a chance. "Too much bling for me"
and that pewter one was too funny
You did pretty good out there.
Maybe next year for me? I need to upgrade the input shaft and do a few more mods to the engine first.
I was hoping to see that first gen truck run. it looks like input or something let go at launch

That's Kim Cirelli. Her and her husband are well known, long time pullers in our area. You can say she's not really a finesse driver, but she gets the job done.
