The Old Wheels Are Wore Out,Me That Is..
Well Day 1,Fall Brawl 2 and as the War Continued it seemed like Mother Nature was going to try and whip all the diesel owners into submission,but,we showed her our fortitude and kept Rollin,Rollin,Rollin...LOL.Plenty of Rams and Fords on hand but with the weather no count was officially taken,but a good guess would say somehwere between 60-80 trucks on hand for the first day

Fall Brawl Day 1 Continued...
Well here is the next set of numbers from todays activities.What a first day,lots of killer trucks,great stories and smoke flying.....

I'll start this with our lunch guest spinner,then move on to the diesels.Dynamic Motorsports who rent the other half of Ernie's shop had the "Killer Weed Whacker"owned by Jason Talbert on hand for us.This is a 92 Honda Civic with a 1.6L Vetec motor and a huffer(standard T62 blower,not roller balled).This amazing little monster in front of about 60 of us whipped the jet with a amazing 507.6hp/365.4tq.This is a street driver and kinda sheds a new light on picking on the ricer gang...LOL.The Dynamic crew are top shelf and in love with our trucks,beware though,they were last seen trying to figure out how to steal Proram's twins for the Honda.

On to the numbers now....

Double S Diesel
Dave Radizeres(hope that spelling is correct) had his ADT sponsored puller on hand for all to look over,nice truck for sure.

Thanks go out to the resident chefs for the day,Rams-n-Hogs,Proram and Nancy Kauffman.The group kept them hustling and all they did was smile,nice job.One last note and I am off to bed to mentally prepare for tomorrow.SPECIAL THANKS go out to the entire Kauffman Motorsports crew for enduring the adverse weather and rolling right along.By the end of the day most looked like they has a mud hole stomped in them but nothing was ever said but for me to shut up..LOL.GREAT WORK GANG !!!!!!.Tomorrow's weather looks alot better and with a few left to spin(yes,Jetpilot has the slick black bottle rocket back together)it will be a great day.Off I go,I have rambled too long,till tomorrow folks.........Andy

BTW,drag racing was a wash out.

1-Stock Class....
Rick Sobiecki...2004 Ford F350 King Ranch...283.4/459.2

2-#2 ONLY...
Fred Huber-aka...Offshoreracr...585.5-1000.6
Fred was not in attendance today due to other commitments.When I finally reached him tonight and we chatted he was a happy camper.While it may not fix the problems at Thunder this year,this will make it easier I'd bet.Nice job Fred,congratulations.
3-Unlimited,The Don't Bring a Knife To a Gun Fight Class...
Doug Smith-aka...Jetpilot...768.9/1374.2
Ok,with the week Ol Doug had guess you can say he worked hard for it and it was no gimme this time.With sending a head gasket to the promised land on Wednesday he had to disassemble and re-assemble the''Slick Black Bottle Rocket" just to roll.Lots of help from friends and a permanently glued phone to his ear chatting with Piers got him ready to rock n roll.He kept the giggle gas toned down a bit as he wanted to drive it home tonight,head gasket and all.Nice Job Doug,congratulations.

Final Notes From Show...
Well, I guess the trophy for best entrance has to go to MD500E,his Dad,Tom(owner of the old blue DD truck) and a friend.Instead of battling Sunday traffic they flew dad's helicopter in and landed to enjoy the fun.It was a spectacular site to see and a neat way to travel to the show.I'd say all the eyes were like this in awe .

I'd like to personally thank the vendors who braved Saturday's elements and set up for those who came.I'll list the vendors below,but keep up the good work and THANKS for coming to make this show a success.This is who participated as vendors on hand....
Double S Diesel
Advanced Diesel Technology
MassDiesel
ALF Marketing(Amsoil dealer who was the Sunday)
DHRA

My last thought here and I'll go join the fun on the other thread.This show is getting better each year.I never envisioned when I did the first show with the Kauffman's 3 years ago it could get like this.Without their continued support and hard work it would never go off.So to the ENTIRE Kauffman Motorsports crew I will offer a HUGE THANK YOU to a job well done and we will do it again.I'll also say thanks to all who came and enjoyed the show,both participants and visitors alike,without your dedication it would never be this much fun or as big.Also a note of gratitude to the Dynamic Motorsports group for the Honda show and just being great people.I was glad to see all of them on Sunday mingling with the Diesel heads.

Well its off to clean the mud off my Flame Red Rocket that Dave spun all in my clean inner fenders while dynoing my truck and then off to work.I'll be contacting the door prize winners when I return from out west this week so till then...THANKS to all.......Andy

Kat..
I actually shorted Andy on his #2 only run,it should have been 620.5/1284.0.Now to answer your question,while Andy did a heck of a job, in order for us to make it fair he would have had to remove the nitrous bottle in front of me or Jetpilot as was stated earlier.# 2 meant that only and no gas or sprays of any kind were allowed,even if the bottle was turned off.I know its a pain but its the only was to level the field.

Clears that right up. Like I said just noticed it while browsing the list. Glad to see y'all had fun with a nice turn out.

 

The average HP number in the NE has increased substantially in the last year. Lots of high powered trucks.

I was totally impressed with Snowmans numbers. I guess they are the best I have seen with a single B-1 turbo. 546HP

Unfortunantly just skimming over the numbers does not tell the mods the trucks have. Using a single B-1 and making 546 is an accomplishment.

Andy was in the drug class. Offshoreracer was diesel only.

Offshore did a good job as well. 585 with the first set of Mach 5 plus size injectors. He has room to grow.

I hear biggest disappointment was the weather. Rain.

Don~

 

Ooops! I just found out SnowMan has twins.....

So much for that. :

Don~

 

I would like to extend a great big thank you to my yankee friends ;D ;D. We enjoyed our stay and it was great to see old friends again. Hope to see some of you again at the MIR at the end of the month.
Take care
See Ya
Chris

 

Reading this thread and looking at the pictures on the TDR tells me a few folks worked hard to make it all happen.

Hats off to the fellas that did it. Hammer, Jet, etc.

Don~
