o geez George, that sux, sounds like the wrong jaw got nailed too bad ya didn't get the one that started the trouble. What a lousy way to ask ya to move your truck. well as for the police, hey, they surrounded you and you " felt somebody push you from behind " next time ya see him at the track he'll get his but handed to him on the track as well.

 

that was just it mike,i had no intention swinging at anybody, but when that guy came up from behind me and i felt his chest on my back, my blood turned into lava,no thought, just acted. i do realize now i should of stayed in my truck, and just jawed with him.

 

Sorry to hear about your troubles George. I was supposed to go to the track Friday night, but I didn't have the truck done.

Well the Evil-Twins are now in over top of the stage 2 and so far with the limited runs I have looking for leaks and what not, it seems they help a little with the bottom end pull.

I am now afraid to see what breaks next.

I'm planning on going to Fall Brawl. After the Spring Flings abysmal numbers my truck put out I'm anxious to see what it puts out now.
Do we have a head count of who's going? Maybe a little convoy?

 

hey, im going this year. my first.also i feel the same way, on whats going to break. with the twins and the fact ill be in sw9 for the first time at the track, whats going to go lol.i think im going to have a 12.5 run easy.im thinking about going to island the day before the event, on friday.

 

I just got back from a bit of wrenchin, was workin with a friend and got my co pilot installed happy to get it in, just got to get a lil seat time on it to get it adjusted to how I want it to work. I tell you what, the folks that built these trucks never intended them to be worked on in the areas they put the wires thats for sure. I got two more guys interested in hangin out at Englishtown the 13th out of the night anyway.

 

well, gonna go and double post,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,. raceway park finally has the info up for the 13th, here is a link to the banner http://www.etownraceway.com/main/08events/diesel08.html

and a link to the pdf with class info........ http://www.etownraceway.com/main/08e...inside2008.pdf

am I readin this correct? did they kind of lump us down to the bottom of the page, and make us ineligable for final eliminations ????? sure seems different than last year/ s

 

what a mess that looks like huh mike. i have no clue after reading that page quickly in what classes i could possibly run in .

 

down the bottom, special exhibition classes......... I hope they are not trying to get rid of us or discourage us from showing up to this event...... all the money we bring down and people ......... they weed us out, they won't make gate.

 

I guess this is why they tried to have the earlier event. We will only be able to run heads up, run what ya brung and hope ya brung enough. $50 bux to race and the winner gets the full $100. Thats how I read it.


CLASS MODIFIED PICK-UP A Special Class For Modified Pick Ups. Must Be Diesel Powered Will Run Heads-up (No Handicap) For Cash Only. Not
Eligible For Final Eliminations. $100.00w $50.00 Ru. Minimum 4 Truck Field For Full Payout. No Nitrous Oxide Allowed! (Diesel Fuel Only).

 

I wonder if getting on the phone with them in large #'s could convince them to do things differently........ call em up, talk to management, demand another class or 3........brackets, 14 sec, 12 sec, and bring it on !

 

wow , thats a big dissapointment. island on the 14th is looking better and better everyday now.i really dont wanna go there wait around for 5 or6 hours to get my head handed to me, by some guy who trailored his 11 sec ride there.i guess it will be a game day decision for me. im gonna go on the 13th, but if i dont like how its broken down, ill just spectate for a day, and will prepare for island. at least over there i know what to exspect. there looking at a couple hudred racer's for sure.

 

I have to agree with you alot of people are not going to run now when they would of before. I wonder if it's going to be setup like Pinks All Out or one winner only gets the $100? If only four trucks enter they would get 1/2 the money but if twenty trucks enter at fifty a piece and they only pay out $100 to one winner......

 

that makes o sense, mike is gonna call this week, find out some answer's.guess we will go from there.

 

Hey Mike how are you liking that Co-Pilot? Did you solder the wires or use some kind of mechanical wire tap like a suitcase connector?

George I think they are trying to make the event more for the big rigs.

 

we used silver solder, and the shrink tubes from Dodge that have the sealer in it and when ya melt em the glue seals the connection water tight. Liking it so far, but still tryin to figure out what setting to use for daily driving feels wild lockin into second, and stayin locked all the way, havent tried lockin first yet, tough to road test as ya just get goin too dang fast in a hurry on the roads, on labor day weekend, loaded w po po tryin to write tickets./
