Competition Anyone hear any results from Indy??

[Got Smoke?]

Dragracing - TS Perf ran consistent 11. 4's with a single stage nitrous - dropped to 11. 0 or 11. 1 when they added a second jet for an exhibition run at the end. Chris

TS ran a 11. 41 I am pretty sure on their exhibition run. I have it on video!

 

[GO 4LO]

Sweet, post it up! I had thought 11. 14 to the Duramax's 11. 07 - guess I had my digits switched up haha.

After this great display of Cummins power the great and almight SHED PUTTER! walked up and down the track :-{} on a two way radio for a few minutes and then it was annouced that any truck that had pulled over 350 feet or was yet to pull over 350 feet would be in a pull off.

The reason we decided to go with a pulloff is that the sled was pulled onto the asphalt. Jeff was stopped to prevent damage to the road as he kept on the throttle well after he was red flagged. Since there were pullers who managed to get the front end off the dirt, it was decided to let those who pulled over 350 feet be in a pulloff. No politics there, just keeping IRP 's return road in mind.

Is it true the 11. 0 dmax ran on diesel only with the single ATS turbo. . That was said on another site. . If that's true, that's awesome...

 

[Morse]

Never mind, they said it had nitrous... Still a really quick dmax...

 

[Teamropin983]

NOS and propane on the Dmax.





On the distance thing,it was announced quite a few times that the drivers could pull the sled all the way to Brownsburg if they possibly could :--)



What changed?

 

[BWillard]

Does anyone know maybe the top five dyno results on #2 only? I held 1st place until about 3PM on Sunday! :{ Oh well maybe next year

 

[TrqMonster]

What ended up being the top HP. Last I knew it was the 617.

 

[jgillott]

I was over at the Dyno around 4:00 on Sunday when the runs finished. Top in the class was on a p-pump 24-valve (I don't remember the name of the owner) which did 678, Andy had one run at 649 I believe before the Dyno broke, you at 617, and Chris at 611.

Last I heard Sunday was upper 500's (580?) on a common rail. Didn't seem like the dyno was as busy as other times. It kinda seemed out of the way. Maybe closer to the pits next time?



I heard that the Scheid dragster had trans problems, and that one super fast (drag) truck windowed his block Saturday.



I think the pulloff thing was very fair - even if unexpected. I actually wish they had more pulloffs in DHRA events. It's just more exciting to see the top few trucks blow it out the end and go again. You should've heard the crowd when Crowder (who broke Saturday and that first gen (sorta) in super street ran it past 300.



For my 2 cents, they need to have another (more streetable) street class. I know that there were several people I knew and was there with that decided against pulling because of the level of the "street" trucks there with weights hanging off the end. Not bashing anyone, just my 2 cents that "street" should mean stuff you can drive cross country and pull with... On the other hand, amatuers might have killed the time frame - street took forever as it was.



Hats off to the DHRA gang for pulling all of it off and keeping things moving at a reasonable pace and price. Seemed like there was a lot less drag racing than other (past) diesel events. I will say though, although it lost a little of the "good old boys" feeling this year, it was a totally top notch event. No one attending that event would have guessed that we were just a "county fair" show with a cross town drag race only last year.



Love them mod trucks - that's worth the drive by itself!



Got a few questions though: Where was Greg (for all the put-up/shut-up talk), the Edge team (or anyone from Edge at all), and Mitchell (I have NEVER seen him at a big-time pull in the last 2 years)?



Thanks again to everyone at Scheid for having incredibly knowledgable people at their booths, and taking the time to give little old me advice on turbo and pump setups. For being (in my opinion) the dominant force in (and king of?) diesel motorsports, Dan is an extremely nice, down to earth guy, who is as generous with his time and knowledge as anyone could ask. Same goes for the rest of his staff. A million thanks to those guys!

So... ... guess you forgot to give somebody a call and hang out... ..... I see your DHRA now... ... . your too go for everybody else



























































:-laf Sorry I missed ya bud, maybe I'll see ya at a pull soon probably won't be able to make TH this year. :{

I agree with both statements.



I just want to say too that it was a great show all around

 

[John_P]

I received a call late Sunday afternoon on my way home to N. C. from Daniel

(CMNS PWR) (thanks Daniel) advising me that my son (banshee) had in fact won the dyno H. P. event for the most H. P. (WITH #2 + nitrous). My son did call David back who confirmed that he won the event with 648 H. P.



I want to sincerely congratulate my son on his win!! We both know and respect the other great numbers that were put up by other TDR Members like

"B Willard", Chris and of course Andy Sebek! I have seen that truck of Andy's run before and and we know that if he had been able to run that it may have turned out differently. My thanks to David Dunbar and his wife Penny for being at this event and for always being two of the nicest people my son and I have met in the diesel performance business! David, Penny you guys are great!

There will be some version of a stock charger sled pulling class next year.



I apologize for being short with anyone, or not getting a chance to talk with the people I usually see there, it wsn't intended. Between the heat, and the workload,(76, SEVENTY-SIX street trucks) there just wasn't time.



I had no idea, moving it to a venue of that size would be as much work as it was. The DHRA crew started 14 hour days on Thursday, and kept them up through Monday. I got home at 2:00 am this morning.



As Daniel explained, the Street class finals were a floating finish, until track conditions changed enough to let the last few trucks onto the blacktop.



I then went to the footage of the last truck that the sled stopped, and declared that mark a full pull. At that point, two trucks were in the pull off, with several to go.



After that, the desicion of the flagger would be the official word. Rob Monroe was our flagger, who has 5 years exprience flagging Hot Diesels, including several times at the Scheid event.

The only truck that was running hard enough to reach the pavement, in the last few, was Tomac, and Rob flagged him before he hit it. He had enough steam to take the whole sled onto the blacktop, which we could not allow.

Tomac stopped on the red flag, which is what he should have done.

So we ended up with a 3 truck pull off.



David Lott, don't take what the announcer says as gospel truth, he is there to entertain, and is not a track official!!



All three classes were incredibly close, tempers flared a few times, but no fist fights and no protests were filed. It was a pretty well behaved group, among the competitors.

Where was Jeremy Homeyer the DHRA Official "Hooker"? T-shirts coming soon.

How they can call a pulling class a "street" class with weight boxes hanging off the front is a mystery to me. It must be a new dealer installed item that we all never seen... . Andy

 

[Sled Puller]

It is the safest way to add weight. If you don't let them do that, then you will be dealing with lead filled bumpers, concrete in the fender wells etc.



No different than bolting a set of slicks on for the strip.

I guess putting the weights on the passenger side floor won't work... ... Pulled 2 times like that... . I never thought it was a problem... . I guess it would be safer to have them out front in case of a rollover or a front end collision!

[TurboTweaker]

it nice having them out front that way when a truck like kents breaks the chain it does a nose dive and the weights plow into the ground, bringing you to a screaming halt. its real fun. i'm with josh on this one if the weights are in the cab you could get hurt in the event of a roll over... ... ...
