that was an expensive day for me two trucks in one day, but ya got to pin it to win it right??

 

Buck....That is very true!! We all commend you for leading the way and showing us the limits of man and machine.

Ya I've told the "Buck- how to kill two trucks in one day" story many times now!

 

Had a good day at the truck pull. Didnt get to meet anyone. Was looking for trucks I recognized and think there was one. A maroon 4 dr with a John Deer sticker on the back window. Sound familiar. Finally got dyno number for my truck 266.1 hp and 646 ft lbs torque.

 

Micah and his guys at ODRA deserve a lot of credit for pulling off this event. Even with the crummy weather there were a lot of truck lined up at Diamond W. Sorry I didn't get to stay longer and meet some of the new folks.

One big surprise though. RJ answered his phone, talked a minute and then handed to me......it was 13FOX calling from Iraq! He said to tell everyone "hello". It was good to talk to him and we look forward to seeing him in a few months.

 

Alvarado Pull/Dyno was big success! Well done Micah and ODRA!
I counted over 200 trucks at 5 pm! Big crowd of watchers and number was growing when I had to leave at 8 pm.
Suspect they were still pulling past midnight!
Great Event!

93-12Smoke, I thought your truck looked familiar, I think my guy with his 92 was two spaced down the line from yours when you were done with the dyno, then my truck was 2 down from him.
I was more than impressed with the turn out yesterday, I had never seen the front parking so full before. Other than it would have been nice if they figured out what the power problem was on the dyno earlier. At last look I think there was about 60 trucks on the rollers.

 

Dually Dog, I remember watching you dyno and then came back in with that other 1st gen right?

Who was working the gate about 9am?

 

I have no idea who was working the gate. Why?

 

93-12Smoke, I think I saw your truck..the red single cab 1st gen? Mine was the tan ext. cab 1st gen that was 5th on the dyno. 266 and 646 are some pretty good numbers. Mine is basically stock still so I only made 170 and 413.

Micah was working the gate at that time.

Well the event was a huge sucess we got done with the dyno at about 1:15am! Pulls stopped around midnight also. I was busy most of the day and didnt get to chat with many. Said hi to Rowland other than that I dont remember if I did anybody else or not. We ended up having about 64 trucks dyno. John ended up letting a few dyno who waited around ALL day to. It was a great event should have pictures up anytime on the ODRA website.

 

anyone know where you can get the results for the dyno?

 

I was just wondering who was working the gate because when I came in they had said they recognized the truck from here so I wasnt sure who it was.

 

Yeah I watched you Dyno. Super clean truck. Not bad numbers to put down if you are basically stock. I mean they were factory with 160 and 400 so you have made some improvements.

I hope there is another get together soon so I can actually meet and talk to some people.

 

Are you the guy with the for sale sign in the bed?
