I took another first place saturday at a little town near me. It was the open class against diesels and 500+cid gassers. I had the only full pull. It is also the first time I pulled with my new stacks on.

 

Sweet! BTW where is smithboro?

congrats and nice truck..

 

Yeh good question,where the heck is Smithboro? Nice pull though. Watching all you guys pull makes me sick. I sure wish MCS Diesel would get done with my motor so I can get it in and drive it. It sure looks like you guys are having alot of fun. Are you going to Mascoutah this Sunday? If I get my motor back this week I want to put a few miles on it before I poor the coals to her but may go watch. Hope to pull at Freeburg 2nd week in Aug.

 

Smithboro is between Greenvile and Vandalia and just north of Carlyle lake about 9 miles. No I can't make it to Mascoutah I work on sundays. I wish I knew about some more pulls over your way to go to all us diesel guys are getting jacked around by the gas guys. They are getting tired of getting beat by me. They kind of make the rules for diesels to follow as we show up to pul against them. I just tell them wait till the truck isn't stock anymore.

 

Pop-a-tops in Ellisgrove has one Saturday night august 11 and Freeburg is the following Friday night and Tilden is the next day (Saturday). They usually have seperate classes for diesels anymore since they seem to pull better but don't kid yourself last fall at Extreme Differentials pull in bloomsdale we all had are A!! handed to us by two gassers and 1 looked like a old piece of crap flatbed. I hope to get my motor back tommorrow or Thursday if I can get some mile on it this next week I may pull at the next couple weeks pulls just not Mascoutahs. If your interested I can help find your way there.

I am getting the video of my pull here in Lee County. I didn't run outta power but traction. And to get better traction, tires. To make the tires move, clutch. Maybe next year.....

someone forgot what happened in the diesel classes at summerfield...

 

What was the weight class for the open?

 

unlimited weight

 

Yeah I said the open class I think. YOu got me in the others BUT, I think I took you two times last night in bulter.

 

Yep you hooked well. Lately my truck had been fueling low and not getting the rpms that it had earlier in the year. I contributed it the the track and other things. I was looking it over this morning and noticed that the pump wire tap for the dc had broken off of the splice. Hence I have been pulling with a 60hp ez box. I definately get the dumbass of the year award for not checking that sooner. I got it fixed today and it has all the steam back. Se ya next go round.

 

Are these all in Illinois? I am looking for something to do this weekend.

 

Yes all in Illinois in the central region. There are some more coming up in the next few days around here plus what you quoted. PM me or dlange for schedule. OH yeah by the way was screwed on the sled sunday night Dave. The red dragon would have done good.

 

I heard you guys got screwed at G'ville. That sucks, we need to stick together and stop this b.s Everyone knows what the people want to watch. The truck does run better with the wire tapped thought. LOL
