MNTDR at the Drag Strip!

[JoshPeters]

Yes, you've asked for it... here it is.



Sunday October 10th, Rockfalls Raceway has a Fun Race. Gates open at 8, time trials start at 9. It is $35 to enter. I just talked with them out there, they seem more than happy to have us come out there.



Required, the obvious, good tires and good mechanical condition. He said major leaks will be shut down. NO MUD! :-laf He asked that if we spend alot of time on gravel roads or mudding to wash the bottom side of the truck down so it doesn't fall off on the track.

Helmets, long pants, and seatbelts should be all we need unless you are gonna go faster than 11. 99. Then it goes to DHRA/NHRA rules.



Please post if you are going to come out, or come out and run. He said a large number shouldn't be a problem unless we get 200 trucks together. :-laf All makes and models are welcome! If your Ferd Buddy thinks he's faster... . here is the time to make him prove it!

Count me in! We going to do a BBQ and whatnot for lunch?

 

[JoshPeters]

I don't know if they will allow that or not. I would think if you bring a small grill and some grub they won't mind to much. They don't say anything about it on their web site and he didn't mention anything.

You guys know I get confused easy. Am I in the MN thread now? Hmmmmmmmm I posted in the WI one, and wondered why the FAT KID was not chiming in.

So who needs a pressure washer? I have one to help out with any scum one may have, J. P. ?. Also FAT KID why do you want me heads up with no box? I will be running the same box you have, should have the PM 3 Friday. So I won't have the Drag comp to set the timing just like you... ... ..... :-laf

Like I said in the other post the tree is LED not the standard lights most of us are use too, so it is easy to red light. Since I use to leave the light when the last yellow was just about gone. Reaction times are new too, intead of the old way, with this system the reaction time will be like . 001 . 002, etc... ... ... , the longer you stay the higher the number. So for the red neck, a . 460 light is not good. .

As far as I know you can bring a grill, we did last year, there is a food stand there with resonally priced food, and pop, coffee, etc... . It is a nice track we will be close to the action. Just make sure you have no leaks, or you will get the boot. I am looking forward to it, just at this point I wish I had an auto, oh well, grind em in.

My cousin might be coming out with his sudo-ricer, but more importantly he is pressuring his friend to bring out his "500hp" Ford.



My own personal runs may look something like this:

You should meet the guys that race it! You can't see it in the video, but it has an MTU Four Wheelers sticker in the window. I was a member while I was in school. Fun times.

For those who weren't at Muncie... ...



Stiffler was a moron who was there talkin trash. He bairly knows what fuel to put in our trucks..... 19. 5'' Rims... . 400hp... . Stacks..... I think they were like 100 a piece or somthing... . You get the idea... . Ricer Mentality... .





Josh

 

[SpicyJam]

Not to change the Stiffler rating but I think Tim and I are heading down to Iowa to drag race there Oct 9th. So hopefully I get good times using the FAT KIDS Iowa factor. Tim should be on the road today or early tomorrow morning. Just giving a heads up, a auto in his truck should make for some good times.

 

[SpicyJam]

Well so far I think the count is 7 providing Holeshot is going, and sounds like he is just watching. Would be nice to have a few more.

I spent my Sunday fixing my hard start, fixing a oil leak that I had around Josh's turbo that is working well. Washing the bottom of my truck, I didn't know the T-case could look so good . I wish I had a water heater on the pressure washer, would make things a lot easier, but it works fine.

Was great to wake up this morn hit the key, and no hard start... ... ... ... makes my day. Funny how a couple of O-rings can do that.

 

[AMartinson]

Which o-rings are those? Seems like there are always people complaining of hard starts.

 

[SpicyJam]

The O-rings on the delivery tubes. On number 6 the O-ring was almost in half. Been a real headache for sometime, really since I just installed new delivery tubes and new O-rings and one week later it went to hard start again. So my first install I must have pinched number 6's O-ring and it went south from there.

 

[Billy Diesel]

How about some directions? (and I don't mean "start at the light, stop after a 1/4 mile... . ) I'm guessing my times will pretty much suck with the hand-shaker, but I will give it a try.

 

[Billy Diesel]

Hey Fat Kid,



Is your GF going? If so, maybe I can talk Tammy into coming out.

 

[TurboTweaker]

Will,

Yea the old lady is coming with bring yours so they can leave us alone :-laf anyways yea dont forget to stop after 1/4 mile mark.

By "directions" I mean, "Where is the track at?!?" Directions from St. Cloud would be nice... ...
