That little 'ol "local track" has long been a test track for the fastest, most durable street Corvettes, Camaros, and Trans Ams in the world, built by John Lingenfelter of LPE in Decatur, IN. If it's good enough for him... .

Speaking of Lingenfelter, i know he went into a coma after a crash, but any word on him latly? I figure I would hear it if he passed, or got better. Any news at all on him?

Latest Updated Information April 12, 2003



John's current condition is stable. He remains in a semi-comatose state and has recently been moved to an extended care facility near his home. The fractured 6th and 7th vertebrae of his neck have fused properly without surgery and the halo traction device has been removed. Friends and family members remain hopeful for Johns continued recovery and appreciate your ongoing thoughts and prayers.



this is from the lingenfelter

Isn't that interesting?

christian was looking at joe's graph when he told me he made peak hp at 3000rpm. so i guess we won't know until joe tells us.





casey



i'm not sure if i will be there, but my truck should be.

Whats the big deal about making power at 3000 RPM? I'm sure there are a lot of pulling trucks that make peak power at this RPM. Heck if you take a look at it, if you can produce torque at a high enough RPM, the end result will be a huge amount of HP. I'm sure a lot of tuners would definalty go about it this way.



It was a dyno event and he won the event. He built his truck to run on a dyno and it does.



His truck would not survive towing a sled, and I'm sure he'll tell you that.



There seems to be three competitive class for these trucks and you will not find a truck that does well in them all. End of point.



You cannot compare a sled pulling truck to a dyno truck to a 1/4 mile truck. Each truck is setup differently.



Have you ever noticed that all the people with a lot of HP never flaunt it, the only people that do are either wanna be's or die hard fans.



I'm sure there are quite a few trucks that have more power than Joe's truck, that's not really the point here. He was high diesel HP at May Madness only.

CUMINNTSTRKN,



Congrats on the twins. Hope the wife is up and better soon.





Sounds like the ATS Duramax did well.

KLocklear--what's wrong with swapping in some new injectors to see what happens--unlike you the rest of us don't have a dyno in our back yard to play with at every change--same goes for Joe D--and we know he's been to the dyno a few times before the event to dial in--so just cuz a guy does it at the event; it's not approved by you so what, this is wrong-sorry but I see nothing wrong with it-hey you're not even there and you could roll down the street to the event--why not??? Plus the fact the HVAC didn't get there til yesterday morn might have something to do about it too--I guess I don't understand your comment---chris

Hey Chris, I don't have a problem with this at all. The original post that I was talking about said that he was going to make changes and go back on Saturday... if that's for his own knowledge, more power to him - if it's to later claim "it did this much more", then that's BS. Last year he claimed numbers on the SS dyno, while the DD dyno was the designated measuring stick. This year, the SS dyno was the one, so everyone went there. I know he got there in the AM, but decided to run LAST. If he wanted to run 2 sets of injectors, why not do them both in front of the crowd? That's what I point out.

Sorry I got a some bad information I know the runs for Sickley were very short and congrats to Joe he is a great guy.

Jim

Jim, Muncie is regarded as the fastest track in Indiana. IRP is a National Track and doesn't produce the times that Muncie does. They do prep the track, and usually we get there the day after the Nitro-wars. In Fuller's defense, it was above 90% humidity so I would take that dry Vegas air over our's any day.

I'll tell you the big deal.



We have been preached to on this board about how the pullers all use "rpm, not power, to tow the sled"



How a certain companys cam makes all the power in the low rpm band, "where it should"



"These engines can't handle rpm, and make no power after 2500 rpm"

Etc, etc, etc.



This proves one thing:



Once again, the west is following east coast leadership, in hp.



As strange as it seems, May Madness was a victory for the east coast.



And yes, Joe did win May Madness, and I congratulate him on a job well done, although it hurts, because I had money riding on Maddog. :{

 

[StakeMan]

How long until the official numbers come out?



CUMINNTSTRKN,



I know the ATS Ford broke. I do not know what. Last time I saw that truck it was running 16. 0's with 44" tires and 8 inches of lift.

 

[1dslram]

Maddog won the trophy for high HP 12V no drugs, Joe didn't count his numbers in the trophy competition.

Muncie should be interesting.



Seems like there are more people there that are willing to show what thier truck can do on the track instead of a piece of paper.
