Coastal Plains Dragway on Sunday Feb.1, 2009?
Hey guys, Nate (ShakinRedCTD) and I may head out to "Coastal Plains Dragway" tomorrow, (Sunday Feb. 1st, 2009). A good friend of ours who has a pretty well modified Dodge Hemi Pickup Truck is headed out to make some "shakedown passes" and asked us to go. So,....if anyone is interested, we should be there at about 12:00 Noon when the gates open.

Thanks for your reply buddy! Glad to hear you are doing alright over there.
Yeah, I thought you had around 4,700 or so too and then I saw that 7,000 number!!

I had a great time too Nate! It was good to see you and Chris Crooms again.
For those of you that missed this, our friend Chris Crooms with his 2004 Dodge Hemi SC, 4X4 Auto, which he has been modifying for awhile now, was running very consistent 12.8's all day long at 101-103 MPH! IMHO,...that is darn quick for that truck. My congratulations to Chris Crooms on getting into the 12's!
I know how hard you have worked on your truck buddy!Nate and I also "lined up" our Flame Red Dodge CTD CR Trucks as we have been wanting to do for awhile now. Nate is running JUST the "hot" Smarty now, (I think the TNT-R version) and I still have the earlier Smarty 4.10 Program "stacked" with my TST with R-49. Unfortunately for me,....I forgot to bring my Smarty Programmer with me to the track so I could trun everything up and at least TRY to stay with Nate's Truck!
Well,... we left the line and I beat him on reaction time (.680 to Nate's 1.01) but Nate passed me up and kicked my rear pretty good running a very impressive 13.09@103.6 against my much slower time of 13.6@101.1!
Nate, my CONGRATULATIONS to you buddy! I kept telling Nate "he was going to beat me" but he didn't think so. After I got home, I plugged in my Smarty Programmer and found that I had it on "LEVEL #4, not level #5 as I thought at the track. So, I was running Smarty Level #4, TST on 2/1 and I think Nate was on Smarty Level #9. So,....we have decided to go back to CPD and try it again soon. Hopefully, Cris Croom will join DTR later today, and get some video up of our race in addition to the runs with his Dodge Hemi Truck. Cris,....thanks alot for bringing your video camera!So,...in addition to my 2006 having gotten the "Death Wobble" Disease, it also seems to have slowed down in it's old age!
My previous best at CPD with the 2006 was 13.0@105 MPH with the same Smarty on Level #8 and the TST on 3/2 with timing and rail pressure set higher than today. One last thing of interest. We also ran into one of the "Diesel Addiction" Duramax Crew out there, namely, Chris, and he advised Nate that NCDTR #18 Member "OthrGrl", namely, Dustin, has blown his engine in his Duramax!

John,
Sorry I missed the dragstrip. I would have liked to have been there to run my truck with the new twins, to see how it runs. So far all the way turned up it only runs 900 degs. at WOT w/ stock injectors and pump. Maybe I 'll make it in a couple of weeks after I get my injectors and pumps on this next weekend.
