What are the odds this will be canceled due to weather.

 

It should be ok since this is a large covered arena. This rainy weather (WHICH WE HAVE NEEDED!!!) should mostly be over by Saturday anyway.

I doubt im going to make it though as I have so many loose ends to tie up before I go out of town Sunday. (I was sick for the past week)


I hope everything goes as planned and you guys have a blast!

Rain or Shine the Event is ON!!!

(One of the Great things about a Event in a Huge Indoor Arena.)

The Dyno will be moved inside if needbe and the Sled Pull is already inside.

We are heading down in the morning to set up what needs to be done to make it a Great Time for Everyone!!

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

Thanks,

This is my first time to consider participating in something like this and I have one question about the rules. Are the bolts in the exhaust required for every class where a truck competes without a muffler? And is this to prevent parts from shooting out the tailpipe in the event of turbo failure?

 

Sled Pullin Exhaust Rule for the Sat. March 14th Event:

*If the muffler or catalytic converter have been changed from stock, two 3/8 in. diameter bolts must be installed through the exhaust pipe in a cross pattern within one inch of each other as close to the turbo as is practical.

They look like this...



It took me about 15min and $4 from Loews to do and is a lot less expensive than the stack or turn up pipe.

SilverLine makes 2 parts for this: (turn up pipe)
TK20124 - 4" Turn Up Tip
TK20125 - 5" Turn Up Tip



Yes, the bolts are always a good idea if you have completely straight exhaust...it keeps CARANAGE aka blown turbo parts, from flying out and hurting people.

 

Whose truck is that (in the pic)! Seen it all now.

Guessing it was only clamped on for racing purposes... Protect the crowd as he makes a pass and preventing a "Buck" incident...

 

Dunno, Silverlines I guess (its a catalog pic). I agree its not great looking but if you dont want to cut a hole in the bed it is a option for the Events that require it.

 

More or less it prob aint going to stop them...BUT it will slow them WAY down! haha.....

Plus you have some new creative grounding points!

 

Course Bucks didn't make it 6" down the downpipe before deciding to go sideways, out of the downpipe, through the steel fenderwell, and through the car next to it

 

Yall got pics of this carnage?

 

they are floating around somewhere. i think Robert might have them, i rememebr seeing them on photobucket.

i thought i heard of a track requireing stacks or a turn up, and i believe there reason was so when you were pullin ahead of your opponent they could still see the track somewhat. or i just dreamt it who knows

 

Hey I've got all the safety stuff now, oh yah no NOS on the track
On a side note, every pull in texas I've been to never seen a turbo blow that bad...pics can be seen on odra site...hey ya'll havin a bs session at the arena tomorrow nite???

 

Here are a few pics. I have the video too....but somebody had to throw in a "F" Bomb.....soooo...can't post it here...
