hello
I will try and anwser the pending questions.
First no you do not have to belong to a certain club to race.
Last year the Chevys came on strong and laid some very strong numbers on the dyno and at the drag strip they where very fast till the tranny had other plans. I will go out on that limb and tell you that I don't think we have a Dodge that can keep up with them. They where running drugs but man they where fast. I would like to see a race that has Jess and the Duramax run with a goose neck trailer and me and my truck with the "little six cylinder" with a goose neck trailer. Thoughts?
I will have to talk to the Dynoman and see if active duty military will get a discount. I do not have the cost to run the dyno, I will ask him that as well. I am thinking it will be about $60 for three runs. He will have a cleaning of his shop he will have to deal with after we are done.
This should be a pretty good time, the crap we talk is all in good fun.
If you have a truck and want to race then by all means come on out.
I do not have the cost to run the drag strip yet.
I will be working this to try and make it happen as smooth as it did last year. I am not going to get involved in the chow thing this year. I will get a huge gas grill from the base and let folks cook what ever they want to on it. I plan on either raceing or taping this event to send to Leigh(my wife) over in Iraq. She had a huge part in everything last year.
Any other questions let me know.
Last year the duramaxes kicked the cummins butts.
I sure hope that don't happen again. If it does then I hope everyone had a good time and there was alot of B S spread around.
See Ya

Chris, I am up for racing and dynoing. I am hoping to have something for the Duramaxs on the track. As luck would have it my wifes Christmas party is Dec4th again( thats the reason I didnt race last year) but I am gonna bring a trailer to get home just in case and race anyways. Let me know if you need me to bring anything, I will probably stay in the Holiday inn again. Tim

Chris, your evaluation of Jess and Buck's Duramaxes are
pretty much right on, with the exception of one thing.
According to my notes from the dyno and drag racing,
on #2 diesel alone neither of them got under 13 seconds
in the quarter mile. I believe the best was right at 13
seconds flat. Jess can correct that if I am wrong, but
I believe that is right. Johnner (banshee) was able to
run a 12.94 @ 103 in my 2002 Dodge CTD on only #2
diesel. If we are able to have a few Dodges running
a nitrous/propane mix like Jess and Buck do, I believe
the results will be different this year. If "Jetpilot" had
come last year like he planned Jess and Buck would
have had some good competition.
BTW Chris,.....I called your house last week and told
your son to have you call me. Did you get the message??

Hello
Chris
Bring it on. This event is for everyone that drives a truck, even those with spark plugs
John _P and I talked tonight and everything seems to be moving along pretty good. I will post some of what we talked about. As long as the weather stays above 45 degrees we will not have to buy the track for the day. If it drops below 45 degrees we will. so we can race. The cost to race will be figured out soon, if we do have to rent the track for just us. I hope I am not causing confussion.
The racing with a trailer is not a dead issue YET. I hope to go out to the race track in the next week or so and talk to the race track folks. That is one of the questions. My truck runs better when something is hooked to it.
Take care
See Ya

I'm hoping we have the zoomies flying around the core again by this time and I will definately need a break by then.
Anyone got the number for the Holiday Inn we stayed at last year?
And the directions to get there?

hey guys,papa i am game but i dont hjave a 5th wheel hookup,i can bring a 28 foot enclosed car trailer that we could run a few passes with,it would be fun to try ,but i am not sure how the trailer will react to those speeds,i will give it a few for fun 1/4 runs and let you know,but in the fun of sportsman ship i am in.yes dodges did have the fastest et on diesel only last year,john p's truck ,which was immaculate was a about .05 seconds faster through the 1/4 than mine was,however in all fairness,i didnt have aftermarket turbos or injects,only programming and a tranny.we still dont have a turbo yet but hopefully we may get a prototype to try by then.unless breakage occurs we will run as fast on #2 this year as we did with drugs last year.
also on a note of hopeing to bring in the big guns,i have some potential sponsor donor monet lined up for a heads up diesel racing class.i have contacted dennis perry about coming ,and hope to get in touch with jeff garmon and a few other heavy hitters.would love to see a dodge or a fodge make a 10 second pass,sorry the dmax will not be doing a 10 second pass this year.hopefully the tranny is settled out,but who knows diesel tq can break anything.i hope for this to be the best event ever and hope there are some dodges or even fords there that will best us out.to me it is all fun and the ribbing is that to,i love the whole diesel performance secene and as long as it smokes, i am all for it.
