What a POS event! Would someone please turn off that retard's microphone!!? I guess it's safe to say DHRA is about done. Also this event probly WON'T be at IRP next year. Might have to go back to Muncie. Sucked big time. I didn't even go back for Sunday's events. Hmm, let's see, there were about 16 trucks in the work class, 10-15 in street, 10-15 in super street, less than 10 in pro mod, and less than 10 in super mod. Geez how many **** classes does Dhra have?? Wasn't even half the vendors or competitors as there was last year. I think the audience was still there. I would say just as many people parked in the grass as last year. That is what last year's show gets you. But not next year.

Hell all together say 75 pullers, I think there were more pullers in the work stock class last year than all the pullers combined this year. Oh and then no Dave Dunbar dyno.

Ok off my rant.

This was my 7th thunder in muncie/irp/orp what ever you wana call it in a row but it will be my last unless alot of things change between now and next year, I also agree it probably wont be held at orp again hell you could have held this event in someones back yard if they had a drag strip it was pathetic and sadlly disorganized.

Bill, I thought it was common knowledge they wouldn't have Dunbars dyno. It has been known for quite some time I believe. Dunbar dyno will be in Michigan June 13th-14th. www.merchant-automotive.com

Most of the good trucks didn't show up because the DHRA is a joke. They have definately ****** off alot of people

Yeah I knew a few weeks before IRP that Dave wasn't gonna be there, still learning slower than alot of people. How can you have a national event and not have Dunbar's dyno? BTW, that Maddog dyno that was there, was it 'the' Maddog? As in the fast Ford high horsepower Cummins, Maddog? Just wondering.

That was Maddog's Dyno but he sold it to the person that had it at IRP. It did belong to The Extreme high hp Maddog with the daily driver Ford with the Cummins.

x2 chris it was good to talk to you and RamNu2. I dont think im going to make it next year either unless i have nothing better to do. the pull that was ten minutes away from my house blew that one out the water. the track was crappy also alot of hot trucks did do that much because the track was trash

The announcer guy was actually pretty knowledgable but he talked entirely way too much and droned on and on and on.
I would say thats a pretty tough job but yeah I got tired of the droning.
