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

You know what they say, "know your competition- well" That I do. But I don't agree with all his actions... He shoulda just taken him inside the trailer and smack that beyotch up..... :p And I mostly just banter on Compy anyhow... ... :-laf

Now Compy wouldn't dare talk some smack-down on Hawkings now would ya Greg?;)
That wouldn't be right. :eek: And mess with the Amish mafia? ;) I think you know where that leaves ya... ... .

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

My Skinny legs will rule the day. I had them on the dyno... er treadmill and the rev gain is remarkable. The new program that I am working on (With direction from Robert Yates, Jeff Garmon and Booty Barker) Should supply the fans with some of the best passes on non-spiked skinny legs we have seen.

Your arse is mine COMP :p

You know those Amish, they'll creep by in there black buggy in the middle of the night throwing rocks at the truck in your driveway, putting freshly churned butter on your door knobs, turning goats loose to crap all over your lawn... ... ... ... ... ... ... . God help ya if you screw with the Amish!!!!

“would of, could of, should of ,”is just speculation



COMP461 said:
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



Sorry bro... couldn't resist.



Since we are on the subject of speculation, a certain calculator said that Keatings current junkyard motor in Comps chassis should run a 7. 80-ish pass.



I sure hope we can get Hawking to switch teams for the new truck..... :-laf

bottom line , no mater how much power you have , if the form and the application is not correct it will not go down the race track, and for that matter , I was on water only at Dallas on the 8. 72 pass, per NHRA rules



You can all speculate about weight , and what if , but the fact remains , 8. 72 still stands until I get back to the track and lower it a little more .



You know what don’t we try this Ill give up nitrous, to Keating, when he limits his boost to 40 psi, sound fair. He has two turbo’s, give one up. And I’ll run heads up no bottle. We run almost as fast with out the NX , until we tighten up the converter , 4700 is a little loose , it is the only limit to the power we can turn up with the keys of a lap top , on the NX progressive nitrous system . when the second turbo in a bottle comes on the RPM’s just go up , and up, and up ,

They will be in the new chassis. And we were only on water when we ran 158. 4

Uh... ... didn't I say that?



LPreston said:
Just MPH..... Comp still rightfully owns the ET record.



I thought so. And our 158. 4 stands until we lower it too.

FWIW, I did not get involved in this thread until COMP 461 made the remarks he did (See post #70, Page #5) towards my buddies Jimmy and Dale Smith reference to them using "3 to 4 cans of ether and boiling the transmission fluid" in their Pro-Street Truck at the "ATS Truckfest Rally. " I will no longer sit idly by and let Greg post that kind of crap when it is not true! My son and I were glad to have finally met you and IMO Greg could learn alot from you in how to handle himself with others. ;) Also IMO, Greg brings alot of this on himself by his actions and comments towards others. And there are many more examples of things just like this concerning him over the past couple of years which I won't bring up here. Why Greg can't just "mind his own business" and concentrate on what is going on with his team and his truck is beyond me.



Take care Jim and good luck to you.

That was not aimed at anyone in particular, directly. If there wasn’t some thread of truth to it, what did everyone assume as to whom I was speaking about? In reality it was an observation, of a make up of several different Cummins engine programs I watched up there. This statement was directed at Sleddie, and his constant insulations that our motor program was in some way inferior to the engines coming out of the pulling shops.





I was making a comparison to the two different paths on diesel performance engines one is to go with what everyone has always done , and get the results I saw , and understand are common to this type of engine on or off the mountain . The other path is to go with proving engine building concepts, AIRFLOW, AIRFLOW, and a little more AIRFLOW, then add a camshaft that is not ground off a lazy master, paying attention to valve train enhancements. and other concepts that are common knowledge to people involved in the engine programs I have been involved with



This new generation of diesel engine technology is what Sleddie has been vehemently slamming in almost every post he proffers, on any thread concerning my program or me. So waaaa , some one said something you didn’t like , and you get all upset, how did you know who I was referring to if there wasn’t just a little thread of truth to it.

COMP:



You obviously did not read my earlier responses about this! Why doesn't that surprise me? :-laf I could really care less about your past or present battles with Gene (Sled Puller). That is between you and him. Personally, I have no problem with Gene! I have always gotten along with him fine and I guess people don't like him because he "says what is on his mind. "



Yeah, "you said something I didn't like and I got upset!" Very good COMP!

The reason for that is,... ... AS USUAL WITH YOU,... ... is because you said Jimmy and Dale Smith used "3 to 4 cans of ether and were boiling the transmission fluid" in their Pro-Street Truck at the "ATS Truckfest!" That was an UNTRUE STATEMENT and I will no longer sit idly by and let you "blurt out" crap like that! You have done it for far too long on this website and it is time it stopped. As I posted to you earlier, Mr. Smith used just enough ether to get the truck started and that was all! NOT "3 to 4 cans" like you posted.

And the statement YOU MADE about them "boiling the transmission fluid" is also a FALSE STATEMENT COMP! Jimmy Smith will be glad to let you look at the CORSA System readout from Denver to show you that all of the transmission sensors showed normal temps in all areas there. Clint Cannon @ ATS can also confirm that! I already told you that I was there and there were very few other trucks that were using the ether. Anyone here including myself can come to the conclusion that you are/were referring to the Smith's Pro-Street Truck. They drew you in the first round of eliminations and you and your crew were standing only a few feet away watching us work and start the truck with the ether until we saw that the #3 line on the P-pump had diesel fuel pouring out of it. AGAIN,... ... ... that is a safety issue,... ... . the Bandimere NHRA Officials told the Smiths they should not run so you and your crew were utlimately advised! Those are the facts and they are unrefuted!! So,... ... . lets keep the facts straight here COMP! I can tell you that I will see to it that you do.



I also told you in one of my earlier posts that you have a good racing program with "Ray Mac Racing!" Well, Jimmy and Dale Smith have a good racing program with Dan Scheid @ "Scheid Diesel!" And AGAIN,... ... . while Dan Scheid may be new to drag racing he has proven himself time and time again in the sled pulling world having won many championships in that field. His engines are also in many of his competitiors trucks who are also at the top week in and week out. Dan Scheid and Clint Cannon will get everything figured out on their dragster and the Smith's truck and when they do they will run very, very well. As I also told you, while the Smiths Pro-Street Drag Truck may have similarities internally to a sled pulling engine, there are also many internal and external diifferences too contrary to what you may or not believe.



If you would just concentrate on your own truck and your own program and leave all of your little smart a** comments and observations out of your posts in here and in public about others, I think you would gain alot more respect from people COMP! I am not the only one in here or out at the dragstrips that see it this way,..... believe me, there are plenty of people who see you the same way I do! Yeah you have your supporters, but there are far more people who see you as an arrogant, egotistical person who cares only about himself! I can tell you that the Keating Crew are NOT like that, nor is your good friend Jim Fulmer. Thus my comments to him about you trying to be more like him in your relationships with fans and others. Maybe you don't care about any of this. That's fine too, as it is your choice. Just remember; "You reap what you sow!"

I didn't buy one off Ebay but I may end up getting one from Greg, I'm still on the fence about trying to make this one work better. If it were easier to change out I might try both... ... . still thinking.
