So what happened to you Jared?

 

Hello
Tim glad to hear you made it home with only minor problems.
Dennis
Glad to hear you like the DDIIs. When I had some folks I work with run the VCR recorder I heard one of them comment " Watch that LITTLE BLUE TRUCK he's pretty fast"

I left the trailer hooked up to the truck in case I needed to come help someone out of a bind.

Next year John and I will have to get started earlier and make this event grow even bigger.
Just a thought but I would like to see that high HP Chevy hook up to a pulling sled. Dyno, racing and sled pulling?????????? Maybe
I see new clutchand a bigger set of injectors and maybe something else Oh yeah
It was great seeing every one and metting new folks.
I had a great weekend and hope you did as well.
See Ya
Chris

 

Sounds like everyone had a good time. Finally got off those horrible hours and now am sick. Going to the Dr this morning. Too worn down I guess, need some pills.

 

Rattlin I was praying to the gods of toilet water. My school has had a terrible virus in the past two weeks. Kids are out for 4 to 6 days with it. So I ended up with it on Thursday morning, and did not feel like living until Saturday afternoon.

Wish I could have been there. On a good not I was glad to see that all who attended had a great time. Thanks for the Invite fellas.

 

Hope ya feel better Jared,,
You need to come next time,,,,, I think Jess and Buck can give ya some pointers on how to get a few more ponies out of that dually!

 

Dennis-

I just wanted to tell you when you put the heatshield on take a large rubber cap, about 3/8 dia and put it on top of your shock, it will keep it from RATTLIN When I get some more made (thicker ones) I'll send you a new one up. By the way the studs in your fenderwell for the HS are the same size as the screws in my AFC houseing (6x10mm) Hey check out my Profile and see what we have in common.

Keep in touch.

I've posted some of the pics I took and will put some more up after I've resized them. Please post any that you may have taken also.
You can find the Gallery by looking HERE If you have any problems uploading pics or if you want some moved from your personal Gallery to the Dyno & Drags event gallery,,,,, just drop me a PM.

Papa Smurf,
Are you going to put those videos together or have to where you can make some copies?

 

I feel much better. Thanks. Ya I need a few more ponies. Not satisfied with 440. Need more power. Aw ha ya ha!!!!!

 

FAR OUT!,,,,,,,,,,,,,, another "Goundhog Baby"

 

Looks like all had fun and enjoyed the event,sorry I missed it.Chris,I guess the numbers were ok since I didn't get any calls?.I can't believe all you big HP guys got outbracket raced by a 73hp Ranger,whats up with that.Hmmmm,sounds like maybe some lessons on how to NOT run out are in order,LOL .

While we are at it all the numbers look very impressive and a D-Max with huge amounts of juice over 700,I am impressed.Whats up with JP not posting the Red Rockets numbers for us to see,stealth mode???.Good thing the phone rang and I got it anyway,LOL.

dynoman...
Having a exhaust problem sucks and makes a HUGE mess of the dyno shop walls along with all who are inside.After our show up here it took me two weeks of being sick to get my lungs cleared out and the shop we roll at has a very elaborate exhaust system.Ernie had his engineer there on Sundy of our show so he could see first hand what we did so they could devise a way to dyno the trucks equipped with stacks.Well since then the amount to build a second system for the "stack only" guys was deemed outrageous,with good measure.

What Kauffmans does is use a long piece of 5" flex pipe and slips a piece of nomex over the ehaust tips to which they slide the pipe on it,routed outside.They have a small strap on it and attach it to the underside of the truck and may at times even have to hold the pipe in place for the higher HP trucks.The majority of the smoke in that configuration,about 90% of it,goes to the outside to the rear,the rest is exhausted thru the roof via Ernies huge ceiling fan.I'll try and find a pic or two for you and put it here tommorrow.If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

Chris...
Let me know if you would like a hand setting this up next year and I'll make myself available......Andy

 

Andy:

Thanks for the input! I know Wayne will appreciate it. You asked about the "Red
Ram's" numbers. I blew the base gasket out at the manifold for the external
exhaust wastegate on Friday. But, I did run earlier last week on a Mustang
MD-750 Dyno @ "AutoFX Motorsports" in Wilmington and put down 674 H.P.
(uncorrected). It will get better,......we have some more "tuning" to do.

Have a great Christmas Andy!

Andy, any pointers you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I knew I could get a flex pipe to channel the exhaust out but I also knew it would stratch the tips. The nomex is a good idea and it will be used. Thank You for the tip. The cleaning continues

 

Hello

Andy
Thanks for all the information. Geoffrey (my son) was racing his mom's truck, he was running 16.1/16.4 pretty much every run he made. Leigh Ann is still over in Iraq.

We had a pretty good turn out and a good time was had by all. Yes we plan on haveing this again next year. Any pointers and lessons learned would be great. One day it may be as big a event as the FALL BRAWL. Thanks for the help this year.

The Chevy's put on quite a show bot5h at the dyno and at the drag way. Maybe next year.

See Ya
Chris

 

Don't let Chris play it down... he was knocking those times out. How about a 16.012 on a 16.00 dial in

John

 

I think Geoffrey was hitting the "Resume" button on the cruise control every time the light went green because I think he had about three runs in the 16.0's!
,,,,,,,,,,,, Oh yeah,,,,,,, If it wasn't bad enough that Johnner smoked me with the 6 speed in the "heads up test & tune" this year,,,,,,,,,,,,, he turned around and run me down with his Dad's truck in eliminations. I was still happy with the way the "Cute Little Blue Truck" ran.

We still need anyone who took pics of those two days to post them in the Gallery under
DTR Chapters >> NC Dyno & Drags
