Surely somebody will have some "stuff" to handle those pesky critters...

So How did you do?

Redline was fun....Diesels only from 1:00 to 5 pm!! Which was spectacular! Hope ORDA keeps doing it...should build a great crowd after word spreads!

The classes did not work out so well so big dogs did not run, but those of us that did.... had a blast!

Mike got kinks worked out of Chris Millers truck. Even with out everything cranked up....he ran fast on last run! He beat Micah, who beat me by a length and a half and has a fast D-Max (nice looking too)!

RJ was right.........Red Line was a lot of fun. Not as big a crowd as I thought there might be, but a good crowd of the "regulars". And, as usual, Mica and his folks done a good job. A big thanks to ODRA for giving us "diesel people" some good events to attend.

Robert is not sure what he won, but Mica gave him $100 for winning something. Good for Robert! (i think)

We didn't get lot of pics and videos, but I'll post up the ones I do have as soon as I get a chance.

15.1 with just a Smarty? Good grief, I was loosing a lot of time with a bad relief valve and probably 700 or so more pounds. My best with a Smarty and Quad Race (Hot) stack was 16.88
