Competition Anyone Running a "Comp Cam"????

[Tcolesanti]

COMP 461:







One last thing,... ... ... . a fan overheard you criticizing your very crew from "Ray Mac Racing" and related to us and others for "sanding or grinding on a delivery valve" in your race truck! Not too professional IMO COMP! Do you to care to comment about that? It's funny that these are the same guys you praise, but then tend to publicly criticize them in earshot of fans walking by! If any of that is true THAT is what I am talking about when it comes to you and your relationships with others!

Dude, was Dr. Hawking knawing on your delivery valve again???? :-laf Maybe you should promote Amish Elegance to your crew chief... ... ... ... ... ...

























There Amish-I put the good word in for ya!

It was not delivery valves, but barrels, we stuck a plunger, because of lack of sufficient lubricity in the fuel . When you turn a P Pump close to 6000 RPM’s you need 10 times the amount of additive. Learn something new everyday, Thanks Richard Madison for the additive and the advice.



I was under the impression that if you stick a plunger, you’re done. Well. Charlie Stewart will be the first to tell you, he doesn’t have a clue about diesel P pumps, but he dose have a mantel full of Wally’s, and a world championship Wally up front.



Charlie wins because he will not take “were done “for the answer, and decided as he has done in the past to “fix it “. I did not agree that that could be done, in the field, but when Charlie took 600 grit sand paper and a drill mandrel, while Charles brother Tony took a emery board to the plunger, I was a little worried to say the least. The result was a 8. 89 @155. 89. And a 8. 85 @ 151 back to back. If you take the 3. 05 back half of the first pass where the A D D impaired driver missed a shift by 2 tenths of a second and the motor went to 5700 at the shift and the 5. 64 1/8 mile on the 8. 85 pass where the lift pump shut down you would had has a solid 8. 69. By the way the 1/8 mile off the mountain is usually in the low 5. 40’s and the back half should be in the neighborhood of 2. 90



Funny story about my comp team mate Charlie Stewart, a few years back we popped a motor in Topeka. This happened just before the final round, in his A/ED. At NHRA National event you have less then 75 minutes to be ready for the next round, and for sportsman, some times less, well in this instance it was less. We were changing the motor when Charlie’s head somehow can in contact with the wing, and required a lot of stitches, the anesthetic required to stitch him up would preclude him from driving. Remember an A/ED is 1500 lbs dragster with 1100 hp and runs 6. 70’s at almost 200 mph on 12 inch tires. Charlie had a doctor that runs Super Comp stitch him up with out anesthetic, and use Duct tape while we finished the motor change; He won that race , Charlie Stewart is now interested in diesel racing .

Where are you going with all of this Comp??? What your trying to say is your betting on winning race's against faster trucks soley on them not being able to spool on time??? Of course this is when they use Auto-Start, oh and for all of us dumb-***** on here the "tree" is the little thingy with the lights on it.

your going to have to find a faster truck first , before it matters .

In reference to my horribly slow light at bowling green against Keating, I didn’t want to go red, so I held hard, on the button. A Red light in this truck easy.



I believe if I was competing in Pro Street, I would find away to hit the tree harder, I am convinced that there are a multitude of ways to get better reaction times out of the truck, and believe a . 00 light is possible , and I might be inclined to help if any one ask

Well we keep hearing about you being the big pro driver, when you gonna smash the tree down?? All we've been hearing is predictions... . Stop staging and napping on the tree already,:-laf go out there and start chopping, I don't care bout how you can do it in a gasser, hit the friggin tree in the Dr. P rig, show some pro reaction times already... ... . :-laf

COMP 461:



Let me give you the CORRECT name of the nice guy that helped you at "Truckfest. " His name is Richard Madsen (AKA: MADDOG) NOT Richard Madison!



It doesn't really matter to me what problem you experienced with your P-Pump; whether it was a delivery valve or a stuck plunger. The point here (which I have already made) is you criticizing your own team for a decision they made to fix that problem with you making that criticism within earshot of fans watching and listening to you!



You also continue to bring up your race against Keating at the Bowling Green, Kentucky Event. For the record, AGAIN, and so all the members know the truth about the run, you DID NOT beat Keating by much Mr. Hogue! The fact is, Keating had clicked off an 8. 8 in earlier practice runs so there is no doubt that IMO you could very well have been beat by him that day!

Listed below are the times to the eighth mile mark. Shortly after that, Keating let off because IMO he was beginning to get a little out of control and due to his sharp skills he let off to avoid a problem!



Here are the times right off his slip:



COMP 461 KEATING



R/T: . 120 . 233

60' : 1. 31 1. 424

330: 3. 82 3. 971

1/8: 5. 97 6. 11

MPH: 113 110



Now,... ... ... ... IMO,... . Keating was right on your *** COMP and had he been just a LITTLE quicker at the lights he would have had you!! Oo. Granted,..... races are won or lost at the lights. You can see that at any NHRA Event on any given weekend in all the classes including Top Fuel, Funny Car or Pro-Stock. But,... ... you always have a tendency to make it sound like you "ran away" from Keating's truck and those numbers show that you DID NOT! IMO,... ... . in terms of "public relations" with the fans Keating has forgotten more than you will ever know COMP! You could learn alot from him by just watching how he conducts himself with people in public!

I think everyone has found a faster truck Comp, and its owned by Keating.

What you don’t know is that several people on this site have had access to my dataloger file from that pass, “would of, could of, should of ,”is just speculation , but if we are to go there , then lets by all means . I was off the throttle for . 88, or almost a full second from 4. 00 seconds in to the run till 4. 88. , because of a non existent track condition, and the incredible amount of power we stepped up to for the race. When I stepped back on the peddle , it takes the NX progressive program I was running 2. 5 seconds to reramp up to full power. I was, according to the data logger going in excess of 150 mph at the 1000 foot mart, where I again peddled , I was on the marbles and looked around , and he was no where to be seen. So I lifted , 7. 92 seconds in to the run .

So the math is that , on a 9. 40 pass I was under full throttle a total of 7. 10 and of that full power a considerable amount less then that.



What this proves is nothing, unless you want to continue to speculate. The next weekend in testing we ran connective 5. 44. , 5. 47, 5. 49 pass in testing on a slick track. With several witnesses there on this site.



This truck back halved a 3. 05 in 10,000 FDA in Denver, and will back half a 2. 90 at sea level. You do the math, this with a small amount of the total available NX nitrous, and the fuel plate, and aneroid all the way back. And 24 degrees of timing.



Would you like to put something on the fact of who is faster in Atlanta? Baring a break or other unforeseen circumstances .

Yes, You DO when it comes to bashing your sponsons/crew. Care to take a guess how much trouble Earhardt, Jr. would get in if he got out of his car and starting cussing Budweiser? Getting mad is one thing, but Mr. Professional should know better than to run around bad mouthing about his crew. Poor taste IMO.

I want to see you take off your nitrous and run Keating on #2. I bet that Chevy body looks nice as its pulling away from you

 

[Amish Elegance]

Absolutely RD. You think comps buddy Force would have those fancy trailers and all the fame he does if fans could walk by and hear him MF'n Castrol?



"Dag-gumCastrolfreekinspunthattherebearing!"



"Uh John, NO SOUP FOR YOU!"



"Awww, shucks. ... maybe I'll go race diesels. " :-laf



There is a big difference between a couple fellers out at the track for the weekend and a professional team. When its other peoples money that gets you there, you had better be minding your P's and Q's.



People are human, and will say things under pressure that they might not say when given the chance to evaluate retrospectively. All the same, if you are going to call yourself a professional, you must do your best to act like it.



EDIT: Banshee, you type faster than me. :-laf I never saw your post.

Amish, did'nt we just get done saying how you should'nt bad mouth your team members??? So Tacky!!!!! Now make nice with Comp and tell Hawking to quit chewin on the delivery valves, and droolin down the intake..... :-laf :-laf :-laf

Racin Duallie:



Glad to see old COMP 461 has you backing him up on all of his actions in and out of the pits and on this webiste! Gosh knows he certainly needs somebody on his side. Personally, I could care less what he says or does at a dragstrip. He is the one who claims he is the big "professional" in all of this both here on the website and in all of the diesel magazines and IMO his actions are unprofessional. If I were in his shoes I wouldn't do the things he does, plain and simple.

COMP 461:



Yeah if you don't mind, I would really like to see that "data logger" from Kentucky. I should be at Atlanta, so if possible maybe we can get together so we can look at it! However, TDR Member "banshee' does bring up a good point to you in his post, that being; "take that nitrous off your truck and lets all see how that truck of yours will run then!" One last thing that myself and others have wondered is; "When are you going to match that 8. 7@ 154 MPH run you made at Ennis?? So far, I haven't see you do it! Yeah your close but not really any faster than that run and isn't that the goal? Also, many of us overheard the talk of an 8. 2 or 8. 3 run at Kentucky and you were way off that. Talk is one thing, doing it is entirely another thing.

NOT TILL HE KINGS ME!



For the record, Hawking drools everywhere, not just the intake. (Greg thought the water injection was muffed up. :-laf ) I wish he'd get demoted to detail boy as "spit shine" wouldn't be a problem for him at all. He's just gotta figure out that wax on, wax off thing... :-laf
