okay, ill try to paint a picture for ya:

when they race, the ram has dual stacks, and its pouring piles of black smoke. its about 15 feet high behind his truck (from the ground) and it takes a good 20 seconds for the smoke to clear to see his time

It's fun to watch the reaction of folks in the stands when a diesel pick-up pulls up to the line with slicks on all four corners and then runs in the 11's.
I saw Darren's truck and a bunch of the GA trucks run down at Atlanta and it still blows my mind to see the kind of power these guys are making with the diesels. If you would have tried to convince me that you could get these kind of times out of a oil burner in 1999,,,,,,,,,, I would have sworn you were crazy!

Wow, sure is good to see Darren get some press as hard as he has worked.

In case the link dies, I have the same video on my web page under 2005 event pics and vids.

www.dieselperformancemotorsports.com

Buck and Jess, Dennis Perry, and now No Limit and others out there are guys too that deserve a ton of respect. All of these guys push the limits with their own dollar just to entertain the rest of us diesel junkies.
