Oh and getting a video of it would be too cool!
Thinking about makin a pass or two. Sure times will stink seeing as I will have to take off in second or be shifting before the clutch is all the way out. Wonder if I can toast another trans there?

Did some looking around this weekend.
FYI ...............
2010 Dodge 3500 SRW Mega cab now comes with a long bed? Calling it a Crew Cab.
Only saw pictures but looks awsome!
Definately WON"T fit in my garage.

For anyone not getting ODRA e-mail..... Crandall entry fee is $10.00.
Need to join NADM ($40.00) if you want to race for $$$$$ but no mention of track fee if just running for fun? Gates open at 9 am!

This is from NADM Web Site; events page...
Diesel Drag Racing/Sled Pulling/Dyno
Dallas Raceway
Crandall, TX
All day event that will include drag racing, sled pulling and dyno.
Plus a vendor alley and Show-N-Shine! Located at the new Dallas Raceway Drag strip in Crandall TX!

From what I've read, the "Crew Cab" is still smaller than the "Mega Cab". And the "Mega Cab" is still available, but only with a short bed option.

In either case, that's a whole lotta truck. Even "oversized" garage won't cover those bad boys.

Each entry for racing gets 2-3 test-n-tune passes - after that you can decide if you want to compete in the class you signed for - no in-between test-n-tunes - gets too confusing for competitors(past experience)!

You will get plenty of chances at racing what classes and sometimes a buyback-in chance too!

Still got a guy arranging dyno - more info to come!

Sounds like a lot of diesel fun! Weather looking good for the weekend!

Brian, Sorry to hear it. Get well man, 3rd person I know from back home that has had it. No word of it here in my town yet. Flu shots in 8 days.

I would like to get on a track and see what the dodge would do since the tranny is in tip top shape again. maybe get some non all terrain tires, and my factory exhaust set up HAHA. this truck feels like a pig now, its terrible.
