Competition Calling Out The Edge Truck

[R-N-R]

... would you show up at that kind of deal, when NHRA is a 4 day race , not a 4 hour race.

Given all the smack you talk to this crowd, yes. But then you are only here for amusement, eh?

Food for thought I just got back from PRI and for all the great things that guy and girls have done here for the good of diesel competition I only saw 2 names associated with diesel racing being promoted there Greg and yours truly. A big thanks to Borla exhaust for believing in me.

Point is you can all sit here and :-{} but the fact of the matter is you need to be out promoting yourselves as well as the sport if you expect this to grow beyond the regulars that hang out here.

Hmmmmm. It's pretty interesting that the person that seems to be sticking up for Greg-'the no show' Hogue, has a rumored engine being worked over at ol Ray Mac's shop... ... ... ... - Rumor I have heard and I'm NOT naming names...

Greg- you know that the opinion of you here had diminished down the drain when you got on this forum here and told the faithful that you were going to be showing up and running at the famed and cherished Indy event and then later reported that you were going to another event being held by NHDRA- then failed to show up at neither event. Oh you went on and said that your failure to show was beyond your control... we got that too. But as your often times confusing posts with pictures of parts and engines that have NOTHING to do with a DIESEL engine often puzzle us , what would be the harm in being teched to the max- by the book? If your running NHRA events then what the heck are you worried about ? ? If your legit then what's the matter ? If they want to tear ya down and inspect so be it... let em look, sign off on ya, and go lay down the numbers plain and simple... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
To have a difference with ONE person in DHRA, and not choosing to run there because of that ONE person and cite all different reasons why you won't run there, is NO reason to lose out on all the potential plublicity that would be garnered at an event such as Indy. By failing to do such a thing only flushed the opinon of you further down the drain. . . . .

First I am not sticking up for anyone just stating some facts and giving you an example.

Second I build my own engines,I have talked to Ray about a Power Stroke buildup and was rather impressed with his ideas but at this time cannot afford the expense of a full race engine. So far we have been able to go fast with a few upgraded parts. We'll leave the extreme stuff for when we want to get in the nines@5500lbs.

 

[RacinDuallie]

And Greg I told ya on the phone I aint gonna vote on 2 trucks that I know little about?

So again NO VOTE FROM RacinDuallie!

One truck we hear nothing about (Edge- Wolvorine) and the other ( Dr. P's) was run few too little times to even make an honest vote. Sure you hit your time@ O'Rielly and bettered it with the water/meth and 2 Stages of the juice on -the following day in testing- the better times should be a given with water/meth and juice. . . .
But then the dreaded 53 block reared its ugly face in the form of a crack from end to end, ending that bullets duty. . . . .

Mathematically- given the approximate weight of your truck and the E. T. of your run- equates to a suprisingly lower number in the H. p. dept. than is let on to believe. Many on this board are at or near that number -except they have 3500 - 4000 more pounds to move and are no-where near as areodynamic as a moly round tubed Bickel built certified Pro stock Truck truck, A. k. a. Darrell Aldermans' former factory sponsored ride.....

I imagine Jim Fulmer's engine and JetPilot's engine in the same type of liteweight raceready chassis-like yours- and dial in a race tune on the engines- I bet they would give you fits on the track with eye opening timeslips- now remember same type chassis ect like your ride and a race tune on engine, everything else set up simillar to yours- lenco trans ect.
So to my knowledge the fastest one out there running actively has been Keating... ... .....

You have a brand new, never tried and run, engine program that you have Ray Little using his many years of knowledge building many championship worthy gasser engines and I'll admit it does sound trick and i have to admit I wish ya luck with it. But again it's untried. . . . . . . .




So I can't give an honest vote here, anything else would be pure speculation... ... ... ... ... .....



No-Vote here!Oo.

 

[Dl5treez]

Anybody go check out who voted for who---it's a public poll FYI.....



Some of the results may surprise ya.

extreamly!

I voted for the Edge truck but given a third choice of neither I believe that the third choice should win hands down. Both trucks are all smoke and mirrors unitl we can view them at a regularly ran event, on a regular basis. NOT a one time only test secession with nobody but the crew in the stands.

The Edge truck races {practices} at least almost every weekend it can from what the Mulberry bush tells me. He will have enough good passes down to send Hogue back to Weatherford crying :{

 

[Dl5treez]

The cool thing about drag racing is it's a volatile enough motorsport that both trucks could well in fact go to complete stink off the line and simultaneously embarrass themselves in front of the world.



Just imagine the "Matchup of the Decade" turning into a couple smoky, sideways, crossed up 16 second 'passes' with the 'clinkle tinkle ting' of unobtanium parts bouncing across the track... ... ..... I'd laugh... ... .





(all in fun nobody freak out now)

Hmmmm. Maybe the moderators should allow a 3rd. ballot slot to this Poll, and allow votes to be changed by the votee only.....

THEN things would be interesting... ... ... ... .

If you didn’t know my pass was done at a NHRA nation event will a packed house of 60,000 plus. This was done just before the final round of the pros. I was the first car out from under the tower after the national anthem. I had John Force standing on the line with me, he was more then likely looking at track condition , but I do know him for years of racing in comp and crewing on Brent Fanning’s Udder Nonsense funny car , or as real FC Racer’s know Fuel Coupe . I ran the 8. 72 then, and on Monday morning we tested with the pros and a few other comp racers, and those are the times you might refer too. I never claim those times as no one was there, but other racers. They were considerable faster.

great , let them come out to their own backyard and race me at Mopar At The Strip the end of march. , this Mulberry bush is what I am talking about , its nothing but lies and propaganda , I know what the truck weighs , talked to the builder and he confirmed what it weighs . 3900 lbs I believe that I could get it down to the low 3400’s but there is to much pipe there. I know about the other four trucks and only see Fletch as a real threat , , not that Keating doesn’t make power , but their weight is a major factor , 3550 .

That can happen, that is why you will see most teams testing before you get to the track that is why we beat on engines on a dyno. I watched Ray run a Cup motor on the dyno a few weeks ago, and he took it to 8500 and hit auto run, were it ran the motor from 8000 to 9200 for 20 minuets , it was a sight to see , and scary if you owned the $80,000 motor. But at Ray said, it has to fail here and not in front of a NASCAR crowd.



After 8 good clean passes at Dallas , all in the 8 second range , I went to the Houston race and didn’t get a good clean pass , one reason , a electro P-Pump Shut off. I can think Jeff Garmon for fixing that, we the went up for a pass, and ran the trucks best 60 a 1. 189 and 3. 32 330. This would have been an 8. 40 or low 8. 50, but the track in Houston is difficult to get down and especially when water is spraying out of the dreaded “53” block crack. All I takes is one bad day at the track and one of these trucks becomes tin foil.

Again, you have NO IDEA of what is going on. You are WAY OFF as usual. Your FACTS are made up BS. Why do you keep on spouting like you know something/anything?



Here's an idea - leave us out of everything you say... so we won't be sucked in to the BS whirlwind. :-{}

 

[blake underwood]

I don't feel like reading 18 PAGES.



Just wanna know why the 2 trucks haven't raced yet?



Thanks

Hey Kieth

It's too late for that man!:-laf

That's all? you just know about 4? Hmmmm. Sounds like someone will be surprised at what comes out and plays too... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..... :--) Oo.

What drag strip was this at ?

 

[Sled Puller]

60,000=6000 in COMPs fuzzy math.



Never backed up, no video. I'm afraid he wanted it so bad, he created the fantasy and now believes it himself!! Get some help COMP! LOl
