I'll tell her you said that, she'll appreciate it as much as my self.

 

Okay, please no one ask me how late I was out in the driveway cleaning and primping.

Got the Smarty loaded up on WILD, curious to see what it's going to do........

 

The dyno is here and everything is ready at the track!!

Steve (ctd8999) and his partner in crime Fred (offshoreracer), were at the gate when I stopped up this afternoon to finalize everything!!

Steve battled some of the Friday night street racers with a couple 11.8 passes!!

Weather is going to be awesome!! There are still some Racer Tickets available at the gate so make sure you are there early!!

It's going to be a great day!!

 

Greg please give Fred my regards. It should be a great event. Kick butt man

 

Well, no Dyno, that sucked. But, me and the boy got to see some pretty quick diesel trucks (and some slow ones). I really wish they could have figured out the issues with the dyno, but I'm sure they wish that even more than I.

 

Thanks to all who attended!!

For the Mason Dixon Turbo Diesel Clubs first attempt at a drag race event, it wasn’t too bad. But of course, there was some “Murphy’s Law” that came into play 

For those that showed up to dyno, I and Diesel Performance Motorsports apologize for the dyno problems!! Computer issues were plaguing the dyno and we were unable to even get it fired up. Mike worked as hard as possible for at least 4 hrs trying to resolve the problems to no avail. Again, we apologize and I would like to thank Mike and his brother for the tremendous effort!!

The goal for the drag racing was to have a nice and relaxed test and tune. I believe that was accomplished although it would have been nice if a few more racers showed up. The Iron Man awards have to go to a couple of the Duramax guy’s (sorry, I forget your names right now) who racked up 30 passes each!! Again, all in all it was a great day with a gate total of 50 racers and 180 spectators.

A big congrats goes out to Cliff (oasis-3) who won our impromptu Gamblers race between 8 entrants for a pot of $160.

Also, my long standing record for the fastest diesel truck at Cecil County Dragway of 11.88 , which by the way I didn’t even know I held until the track manager told me today!, was broken twice!! First by Steve Bohatch (cdt8999) with an 11.84, then by Wade Moody (Diesel Power) with an 11.04. A big “Way to go!!!!”

Special thanks to Tracy Smith who took over 250 awesome pictures from at the line and they are available through her website at http://trsphoto.exposuremanager.com/

I passed my video camera to our official Movie man Ernie (Fiveology) LOL and he took a pile of video! I am uploading it now and will post the link later.

A big Thank You goes out to Cecil County Dragway for their hospitality and excellent facility!! Also to all the participants and spectators! There was not one complaint from the track about anyone’s dragstrip edict or conduct and they gladly invited us back next year! I would also like to thank Jim and Lloyd (fellow MD-TDC officers) and all the other MD-TDC members that showed up and gave their support to this event.

Hopefully we can learn from this experience and have an even bigger and better event next year!!

Thanks again!!!

Greg “Dockboy” DaPron
MD-TDC Vice Pres.

Thanks everyone!

Let's spread the word so next years can be even better. Will probably work on a pre-organized Gamblers race for those people that have to have a chance to win money to show up! LOL

Thanks again to the people who showed up and participated.

Greg
