Competition 1996 TDR Rally Video

[Sled Puller]

Stumbled on the old tape, I think I bought it when I first joined TDR.



A few things I noticed on this tape.



Nobody is under the age of 50.



Not a whiff of black smoke anywhere, nadda. Zip. Nothing. Not a wisp.



Everybody was having a good time, even with lack of smoke.





I did see Bruce Mallison and Mark Chapple,(pioneers of Cummins power) were there, grinning ear to ear. No doubt planting the seeds of future smoke trees.



There was a sled, but only one truck was hooked to it, and they did not film it very well.



There was music in the background, but I have a feeling all the mufflers were still in place.



Somebody shot at a fake deer with an imaginary gun, and darned if it did not go down.



I may have missed them, bit I'm pretty sure there were NO STACKS.

:--)

It was 1999.

I had stacks.

 

[Sled Puller]

Was it mislabled?

 

[Sled Puller]

No, it wasn't mislabled!



In typical Stacked and Jacked fashion, Eric thinks the only TDR Rallys that ever happened, were the ones he attended! LOL

 

[DHRA]

I was there in spirit. I had a 1995 black sport regular cab, saving for the big, bad green machine!

Yea that one brings back memories, it was my 1st TDR rally. I know we all had a great time. The '96 was only 8 months old, and it was totally stock then, but it wasn't that way long after that! The truck pulling the sled was a factory truck, and everyone had a shot at pulling it for distance, the winner got one of the many tires burned down to the steel belts. I also remember at the end of the tape it showed most of the trucks heading out on the longest and biggest convoys I had ever seen. We went from. Louis almost to Kansas City for a Nascar super truck race. Guess I should get it out and look at it.
