Hello
I am surprised that Dennis or another quick witted member hasn't posted.
YOU MIGHT BE A RED NECK IF YOU DRAG RACE YOUR TRUCK PULLING A TRAILER AT THE LOCAL DRAG STRIP.

That would be great if some of the big guns rolled in to this event.
See Ya
Chris

 

,,,,,,,, So are you saying that ya'll folks down there in NC don't normally do this? I guess the next thing you're gonna tell me is your local drag strip is hard-paved!

 

That was to funny.
See Ya
Chris

 

Hey Jess,..........excuses, excuses, excuses........................
Believe me,.......the very small high flow injectors I have along
with the Piers HX-40 barely was enough to beat your Chevys.
But you will be happy to know that I have done absolutely
NOTHING to my 2002 since last year! But,......Tim Barber
has "tweaked" his Dodge a little since then. Go Tim!!!
It won't matter anyway,.......Wayne has a customer with
a Ford PSD that he says runs just as good as your Chevys
and will beat alot of the Dodges too!

So ummm, did this happen yet? I am honestly too lazy to sift through four pages. If it hasn't happened yet, where? when? I haven't made an event since 02, so maybe it's time to get back into the swing of things

 

i can always come up with more ecuses those were just the ones on top of my head.not much new has been developed for the dmax we have a single tuner program now that will produce over 500 and 1000 to the tires or has on several occasions.with nos and lp mid 600s shouldnt be a big push at all,you know we will just keep ajusting till we get the numbers we want.i am glad Tim is coming back and hope he doesnt need that trailer he said he was bringing along.how about your shied truck John,i am sure its gonna be there putting down some major hp numbers and running the 1/4 in the 12s or faster right.hopefully you will bring it would love to film it all over with the video cam like i did your other truck last year.

papa i did a little playing with the trailer and il bring it but i think i can pull the 28 foot enclosed trailer according to gtech in the mid 14s,if memory serevescorrect that is what your truck ran last year in the 1/4 wit out a trailer.now i know you have done some work to it but i dont see were it would behove you to follow through with this plan.but as stated earlier i am in.this trailer doesnt weight a great deal but does offer some pretty severe wind resistance.know we cold always put a small car in there and strap it down,but i am a bit leary of racing with too much weight in there,its not the pulling that bothers me its the slowing down.any way just some food for thaught

as far as Wayne and a psd coming to spank us i welcome it,i honestly dont think it will touch the dmax but it will prolly get a few dodges and some moderatley chipped dmaxes.i hope to have a few more 6.0s show up ,only one last year and hope for some 7.3s as well.

if you guys know of any super fast diesels try to get them to come down,i should have an idea of money involved by next weeekend,i am sure of 500-750 but may be a s high as 1250 or more.............jess


oh yeah one more thing,did i mention i have an 04 psd now

 

OH,,,,,,NO,,,,,,,,,
Jack is actually thinking about cutting the cord!......... (the one that keeps him attached to the puter,,,) and attend an event?
I'm thinking it's still on for the 4th of December,,,, 2004,,,,, in Jacksonville NC.
Sombody send Jack a map!

 

Are you sure? I thought those were a huge no-no, akin to asking for directions.

 

Ok Jess you got me.
My best time with just my truck was something like a 16.5 or so.
I bet if you go measure that trailer again it is a few feet longer. Pulling a trailer only added 2 seconds to you 1/4 mile time. WOW
This sounds better and better each day. I guess in alittle over a month we will know how much is BS.
Everything sounds good so far.
See Ya
Chris

 

i nevr said my power level was the same as last year,but this was a #2 only pass,the egts did get a bit warm,but i was trying to see what i had if i really needed it.plus my auto doesnt lose boost on the shifts like your clutch,just let me knowif you want me to bring the trailer down for sure or not,hate to drag it down for no reason

 

Jack:

Heh buddy, good to hear from you!!

FYI and for planning, the dyno event is scheduled for
Saturday December 4, 2004 at "Waynes Dyno and
Performance" 3789 Richlands Highway, Jacksonville,
N.C. (910) 346-8623. We are planning to start the
dyno runs around 9:00-9:30 A.M. and run until
everyone is finished. Then on Sunday morning at
around 10:00 A.M. we will be out at "Coastal Plains
Dragway" 4744 Richlands Highway, Jacksonville, N.C.
(just a few miles from "Waynes") where we are
planning on racing the trucks like we did last year.
The only "glitch" at this time is at the drag strip.
If the temperature does not go below 45 degrees
the track will stay open and anyone racing will pay
the regular entry fee of $15.00. Non-racers-$8.00.
However, if the weather turns cold (temps below
45 degrees) Coatsal Plains closes the track. In that
case we would have to pay a track rental fee of
$400.00 to have the track to ourselves for the day.
Recently, the N.C. Hemi (Truck) Owners Group did
just that and everyone paid a part ($25.00) to
be able to race. Anyway, that is the schedule right
now.

It sure would be GREAT to see you come! You and
I have not been at an event together since the Dyno Day
at "True Blue Performance" in Benson three years ago???

Hope you can make it Jack!!!

Hey John,
You forgot that he made it to the get-together for the "Pusher-pump install" article,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Oh wait,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, that was at HIS house!

 

Dennis:

Yeah your right, I forgot about our pusher pump install
at Jack's house! But for dyno events, the
last one we were at together was the event up in
Benson, N.C. Jack is a busy man, that's for sure.

Joel:

Here is the address and phone number for you and
anyone else who needs it of the "Holiday Inn Express"
which you stayed in last year. Tell them you are with the
"Diesel Truck Resource" Group.

Holiday Inn Express
2115 Highway 17 North
Jacksonville, N.C. 28546
(910) 347-1900

I also checked on a couple of other motels near the
Holiday Inn. The "InnKeeper Inn" is almost right across
the street from the Holiday Inn. I spoke with one of the
managers there (Jeanette) and she quoted me an event
price of $59.00 which I thought was good. Here is their
address and phone number for anyone who needs it:

The Innkeeper Inn
2139 N. Marine Blvd.
Jacksonville, N.C. 28546
(910) 938-0800

The last one I went to was a new "Comfort Suites".
Their daily rate is higher @ $94.95 but the Manager
their (Kristy Johnson) said that if ten (10) people
from our group would stay there the rate would
drop to $64.95 per night. Here is the info on this one:

Comfort Suites
130 Workshop Lane
Jacksonville, N.C. 28546
(910) 346-8900

I can check on some more motels if you need me to.
Just let us know.

Hello all

Jess
You got me. There is no way that I can run even close to your 14 pulling a trailer. I guess we forget about racing with trailers attached.

I received a e mail from my wife and she would like me to dyno her truck. So I will probably be dynoing two trucks on Saturday.
She is doing pretty good, they are dodging RPG/motar rounds daily but other that, they are taking care of business. She also said it rained like crazy and now everything is a slimmy mess. The ground over there is like clay and is a real bear when it gets wet.
I will be busy taping everything going on. I bought a DVD recorder so I can send her stuff and I will be making a dvd to send her.

We have some of the fastest Chevys on the EAST COAST coming to this event, I think it would be very cool if we could get some of the many FAST running Dodges to come run against them.

I will bring the GN to the event just in case we need to load up a truck (regardless of brand) that has lost it's motavation. (spelling)

It would even be better if the fuel prices would drop some more. $2.17 I paid tonight. I filled one truck up thinking that depending on which president we get the prices will either start to drop or go higher.
