Great Smoke Stories!

[C. Harlan]

Well, I am back... . 2 posts on here, same day... I had picked up my grandma to take her to get her nails done, and we were just cruising along, when I had to move over... a little honda accord would not let us in... ok, if you want it that way, we can play that way! I dropped a gear, squeezed in, and let him tailgate me for a good ½ mile, before I gave the first poof of smoke out the old stink pipe. he did not get the hint, and came around to pass me. . not going to happen. I got on it, and let him get back in behind me for round 2. . this time I decided to do a smoke brake, and a good one at that! he started flashing his lights at me, as if to say it was getting dark. I got the good ol' one fingered salute, but I already knew I was #1!:-laf . . A few hours later, I picked her up, and we were on the way back to the house, and whaddya know!? a little saturn wants to get the website address for the TDR from my back bumper! . . I burp out a little bit once again, and this kid swerves around the cloud. . and gets back on my tail... this time, I slow down to 50 in 6th, and let the smoke pour out of the tailpipe, as well as left him about a ½ mile back in the process, or so it seemed through the foggy black cloud! Oh well... will have more stories soon!! no doubt!

so im driving through town today and come across a traffic jam in downtown (fairly uncommon in my little dairy town) as i get closer i realize that its a bunch of anti-war, bush hating, tree hugging, no oil drilling, osama has rights too, god damn hippies. those are my least favorite kind! they walking really slow(about 40-50 of them) though the cross walk and bring traffic to a stand still, i got about a 17,000lbs goose'r of cows behind me so i reach down and light up all five l. e. d. 's on the comp, stick her i 4th @ about 20mph and lay the soot pledal down, think i got about 80% of them before boost picked up:-laf :-laf :-laf and the best part was every one around was honking and giving me the thumbs up!

I know... she about ***** a brick when I laid on it full throttle, 45 lbs boost. . she started spazzing out, and I quickly changed the subject, and 30 seconds later, it was a thing of the past

I think my neighbor has a clogged nose and ringing ears!

my neighbor has some souped up stang, and apparently it has a supercharger, because its only a 6, but has way too much power to be stock... Anyways, he got behind me, and wanted to race getting to the get on ramp... anyways, he got on it, and I hit it hard, and got ahead of him, but at one time he was right next to my pipe, WITH his windows down. . poor guy... well, he got behind me, because he could not make the ramp, and by this time, I was rowing it into 6th... I bet he had some black boogers, because I was throwing some major black smoke! Oh well, I saw him a little while ago, and he just and gave a thumbs up!

This is a backwards smoke story... as "I" got smoked

March 11 or 12th,about 11:00 pm. Hwy. 290 going into Houston, Texas. At FM 362 a good lookin' 1st Gen. gets on in front of me, white, reg. cab, with a "cowboy" sleeper. We both exit FM 2920 just up the road, at light he's gunnin' the engine, blowin' some smoke, I think cool. Light turns green, in 2 seconds I realize I'm about to get it. I grab the mic on the CB and holler "NO, don't smoke me!!" But it's too late, I lost sight of him, the traffic light, the street light, my hood on my Freightliner , total black out... . I'm laughin' and tryin' to talk to him on the CB, (he had a 102" whip) but he fades into the night. I pulled into the truckstop, and wondered if it was one of you guys that got me... . ?? :-laf

 

[CATCRACKER]

I think my smoke post got erased. oh well maybe i just want smoke to bad and put some things in the post that where inappropriate. Oh well keep the smoke stories coming they are killing me. :-laf

I finally got to drag at my favorite light that is like 1:100 odds catching it red... when it is though, WATCH OUT!!! Anyways, Mr Maxipad thought he was all that with his big bad allison transmission... all he saw was about 4 psi spoolup while cross light was turning yellow to red, screeching tires, and LOTS OF SMOKE!!!! Needless to say, he could not try to think of keeping up, but when I got on the highway, he fought his way to my back bumper where I smoked him out again, got over to take off at my exit, and got a big and thumbs up from him. I figured he would be cussing me or something, but to get a smile from a maxipad driver is rare! Y'all know what I mean??

Smokin' Hippies...

... and no, I don't mean that in the "gettin' high" kind of way. I was downtown here in Prescott the other day, and there was a protest going on... I had what you guys would call some "bad influence" (aka, 3 friends) with me and sure enough, there were about 75 "protesters" on the sidewalk wasting valueable police resources, cause there were about 15 police "protecting" them. Anyway, the friends are all telling me it'd be a good idea to smoke 'em out and I have to say that I agreed, but figured that was a heck of a way to get a ticket too, so decided against it, UNTIL this one dumb-broad stepped off the curb in front of the car in front of me... nothing gets the blood boiling like stupidity near by, cause there's a chance it will rub off, and I don't like that sort of thing, soooooo, the Comp came alive to 5x5. Car in front stopped, I stopped, then the hemp-freak moved back out of the way, so we continued... we were only going about 5 MPH, so I decided I'd touch the brakes (ok, they were almost to the floor) and the soot-pedal at the same time. Well, 5000 ft elevation, DD3's, Comp on 5x5, and stock HY-35/9 turbo makes for one heck of a smoke show, and sure enough, the freak got out of the way, but others did not... So, after doing it once, we needed to go around the block to park, but there weren't any parking spots, and after taking 3 rights, well, that puts you back on the same corner as before, but going at a different direction then before. Lite was red, and I was the third car back... I had the windows down, and as the light went green I was going to turn right again, and I heard a male-hippie-freak say "Hey, that's the truck that blew all that bad smoke last time!" As I heard him say this, well, I looked over, smiled, and put both pedals to the floor again... LMAO... Totally smoked those two guys, and then we had the corner, where the same freak lady was standing not 18" from my mirror, which translates into 18" from my tailpipe, which was blowing the black-cloud like it was it's job (which it is, right?) LOL... white dress and black soot don't mix well, and she was toast!!! As I pulled up to the next stoplight, there were about 10 veterans there with US flags and one guy with an 82nd Airborne Flag... well, the guy with the airborne flag came to attention and saluted me!!! I waved, and he came close enough for me to tell him "Thank you for protecting me and my country" to which he quietly said "you're welcome. " Ah, but that's not the end of the story... we ate dinner, and came back out and sure enough they were all still there... can't miss out on this opportunity I thought, so around we went again. Same setup as the 2nd time, as in coming around the corner, but this time I was first at the red lite, so I just sat there "building boost" till the light went... they were all a fair distance away when I went around the corner, but the wind drift still got 'em good. THE BEST PART OF THE NIGHT, was after the tires quit spinning around the corner, I glanced to the right, and there was a COP giving me a big thumbs-up with a smile to back it up. I waved and figured that I would be done for the night...



So, there's my smokin' hippies story... sorry for being so long-winded, but I like to tell a story right!

I heard the police ordered 100 Cummins Rams for crowd control.....

 

[Jim Fulmer]

Coming up my favorite short on ramp Sat. I was all on it and shut it off at 90 or so and the cloud just drifted across the highway, then I saw a car turn on it's lights as it came through the smoke

[Sled Puller]

Jim, don't you guys have signs out there that say,



"DON'T DRIVE INTO THE SMOKE"

 

[CRSmith]

Some cars (chevy) have automatic headlights with a sensor on the dash. The lights turning on could be driver stupidity or an automatic function. Either way, that's a lot of smoke.

I got a little punk in a Mitsu eclipse today!!!

I was on the way home from work, and I have the same rule of thumb as Mark (Got Smoke?), being that if I cannot see the front of your car, you are TOO close... I gave the first few burps, maybe 0-8 psi, as if to say hey dude, you are too close... he didnt get the hint... a Smoke brake. . No hint... . this time, I slow down to like 40 on the highway, as we are 3 wide, and jammin traffic, so I know he is not going anywhere. . I lugged 6th, and let out one of the nastiest clouds yet! that shook him a little bit, but behind him was someone in a lincoln that wanted to race... . ok, cool! 2 for 1!!! I smoke little moron boy, and get to beat this other guy as well!! this race drug out for about 7 miles, through cars (Safely) and when all was done, I was still in front! 2 more wins for the new 6'er!

Told you the 6 speed doesn't even compare to the 5 speed.



Looks like you are enjoying it. .



Just don't get to carried away with the boost



Found out today, the coolant leak I had, that I thought was a freeze plug, is actually coming out of the rear drivers side cylinder, between the block and the head



Guess I'll be giving a Chris Strickland and his shop, Relentless, a call sooner than I thought.

 

[cold Diesel]

Got a Ford good today. I was on my way home from work which is an hour and a half each way after a 12 hour shift! Anyway so this ford diesel pulled up beside me with gages and sees mine and wants to race. I am tired and watch him race off all by himself from the lights while I just lug along slowly. Next light he is revving it up and signaling furiously that he wants to race... ... . so the comp goes to 5X5 and I smoke him by a couple of truck lengths before I let off around 60. He passes me, pulls in front of me and hit the brakes hard . I get beside him again and he is telling me I'm number one Soooo as we are getting onto the freeway on ramp which is 2 lanes but goes to 1 lane about 200 feet down I nail it, get in front of him, slow to 40 in 6th and smoke brake him for all I've got He got so excited he clipped the curb trying to get out of the HUGE smoke cloud and had to come back beside me and let me know I was still #1
